An old silver cutlery set can be worth more than you think. A full set quickly weighs several kilos. But how much exactly? It depends on the purity: 800, 835 or 925.
What do 800, 835 and 925 mean?
| Hallmark | Purity | Use |
|---|---|---|
| 925 | 92.5% (sterling) | High-end cutlery and jewellery |
| 835 | 83.5% | Antique European cutlery |
| 800 | 80% | Older continental cutlery |
Solid or plated?
Mind the difference between solid silver and silver-plated cutlery (often marked "EPNS" or "90/100"), which has only a thin layer and much less value.
How to calculate the value
Weight × purity × silver rate. Check the current silver price per gram.
