Sterling silver describes a 925-parts-per-thousand fineness standard. One gram of net sterling alloy therefore contains a theoretical 0.925 grams of silver. Hollow, weighted or mixed-material household items can have gross weights that do not describe silver content. This page separates theoretical metal value from the buyer’s assessment, refining terms and item-specific bid.
Weighted and filled objects
A weighted candlestick or filled handle should not be valued by multiplying its complete weight by 0.925. Establish the relevant net alloy weight before using the calculator.
Sterling scrap is not a bullion bar
A fine-silver bullion reference does not guarantee the same per-gram bid for sterling objects. Use the actual buyer quote and fees to calculate resale proceeds.
