    Opinions differ as to why sterling silver is called sterling. Some scholars believe that the name comes from the term Easterlings, referring to coin makers who relocated from Germany to England in the 12th century. Others say that sterling is a derivation of Starling, the name of the one-penny silver coin in circulation in 1300 when King Edward I issued a decree that all silver articles were to be at least 92.5% pure silver. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of sterling silver jewelry, tableware and decorative objects.

    Yes, a silver platter may be worth something. Solid silver pieces likely have value simply due to the going market rate for silver precious metals. In addition, both solid silver and silver-plated platters may be sought by collectors based on their age, style and other factors. Some collectors look for platters made by specific manufacturers, such as Tiffany Co., Gorham and Christofle. If you'd like to receive a professional valuation for your piece, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Shop a variety of silver platters on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Most thai silver has more pure silver in it than standard sterling silver. Most sterling silver is 92.5% silver with another alloy, typically copper, making up the rest of the metal. Thai silver often falls in the range of 97.5-99% pure silver, so a significantly higher percentage of it is pure silver, making it softer and less likely to tarnish. On 1stDibs, find vintage and contemporary silver jewelry from top sellers around the world.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    To tell if a platter is real silver, search the piece for purity hallmarks. Marking systems vary by country, so research the ones on your piece using trusted online resources to determine the metal. If you can't find any markings, try holding a magnet near your platter. Solid silver isn't magnetic. As a result, you can conclude that your piece is silver-plated or crafted out of an entirely different metal if a magnet sticks to its surface. If you need help identifying your platter's material, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can be of service. Find a selection of silver platters on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023

Some pieces may be worth even more than the going rate for sterling due to their maker, style, type and condition. Some silversmiths whose pieces are often in demand among collectors include Tiffany Co., Georg Jensen, Gorham Manufacturing Company and Towle. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of antique sterling silver wares.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    To tell if sterling silver is real, put a magnet close to it. Genuine sterling silver isn't magnetic, so an attraction may indicate one of two things. First, your piece may be made entirely out of a different metal, or, secondly, it may be silver-plated, meaning it is composed of a thin layer of genuine sterling silver over a base metal. For assistance with the identification process, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or experienced jeweler. Shop a large selection of sterling silver jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024
    Although you can shower with 925 sterling silver jewelry on, it is better to remove it prior to bathing. Exposure to water is unlikely to damage the metal, especially if you dry it off promptly after you shower. However, chemicals found in soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner and other personal care products could react with the precious metal and cause tarnishing. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of sterling silver jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Sterling silver is considered antique if it was made over 100 years ago. Many antique sterling silver items will have a mark or stamp. First, clean the item and check for marks. A “925” mark indicates a silver purity of 92.5 percent, which is the composition of sterling silver. If you don’t see a mark, work with a certified appraiser to acid test the item and determine the silver content. You’ll find expertly vetted antique sterling silver items on 1stDibs.
