“Scrap silver ” is an expression that refers to any silver that is no longer of value in its original marketed form—for example, broken jewelry or industrial by-products. Scrap silver is often sent to a refinery, in order to be melted down.
We buy sterling jewelry in any condition including vintage, antique, damaged, broken or silver jewelry you just don’t wear anymore. Bring in your sterling silver earrings, necklaces, pendants, bracelets, rings, etc. Most silver jewelry is Sterling silver and should be stamped with a hallmark of either “.925” or “sterling.” We do not buy German Silver, Alpaca or Nickle Silver (because it is actually not silver, it’s nickel or copper.)
