Weighted silver
Candlesticks and some trophies are "weighted", which means they're filled with plaster or resin. Only the silver part counts, so it helps to tell us if an item is weighted.

Questions people ask
How do I know if my silver is real?
Look for a stamp such as 925, sterling, or a British hallmark with a lion. Silver isn't magnetic, so if a magnet sticks strongly, it's probably not silver.
Do you buy silver plate?
Usually not as metal, as there's very little silver in it. Some antique plated items have collector value, so it's still worth sending a photo.
Do you buy broken silver?
Yes. Broken chains, bent spoons and damaged pieces are all fine.
Can I sell silver by post?
Yes. You get an offer first, then post your silver to us with a tracked and insured service.
