Silver Buyer: Where is the Best Place to Sell Tiffany Silver?

Tiffany & Co. is a leader in the American silver industry because of its quality and exquisite precious metal collection. Tiffany set the standard for .925 sterling silver, which is now used worldwide. If you want to sell your Tiffany, choosing the right sterling buyer is crucial so that you get the most money for your pieces.

When you sell Tiffany silver, its value varies depending on market demand and where you sell it. Selling at the wrong venue may result in undervaluing your pieces. Conversely, selling through a specialized and reputable silver buyer ensures competitive and fair prices.

This blog will explain what makes Tiffany silver valuable and options on the best place to sell your silver.

How much is Tiffany Silver Worth?

You can distinguish Tiffany silver by its 0.925 stamp (92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metal, commonly copper). This mark symbolizes the highest quality materials and craftsmanship Tiffany is known for. 

Sterling silver hollowware, flatware, and silverware are typically passed down for generations as heirloom pieces. Many families own Tiffany pieces that are over 100 years old. Fortunately, your Tiffany sterling silverware and flatware sets can be worth top dollars. Thus, it is worthwhile to sell Tiffany silver flatware, tea sets, and hollowware.

Tiffany flatware sets, hollowware, platters, and all silver pieces with the Tiffany stamp can sell for top dollars depending on these factors:

Silver Piece's Condition

While it is common for your Tiffany to have small scratches, further damage to your pieces can significantly cause a loss in value. Don’t worry about tarnishing because it can easily be fixed. However, it is best not to polish Tiffany silver yourself as you may ruin their factory finish.

Silver's Designs and Patterns

Tiffany pieces with old or rare designs and patterns can have a higher value. Depending on your pieces' designs, patterns, and makers’ marks, their worth can go up or down. 

Silver Individual Pieces

Complete sets of Tiffany & Co. sterling flatware that include serving pieces fetch higher prices than selling individual pieces. However, you can sell silver flatware individually, especially hard-to-find demitasse spoons, cocktail forks, barware, bowls, and other pieces for higher prices.

Market Price of Silver

The current market price of silver is tied to the prices of your Tiffany pieces. You can weigh and convert the weight of your silverware to troy ounces to have a better idea of its value.

Monogram in Silver Pieces

Tiffany & Co. silverware and holloware with custom markers or monograms can lower their value.

Age of Silver Piece 

Antique or new Tiffany silver are high-value items. But antique sets have more value when you sell your silver.

 Understanding these factors can help you determine the potential worth of your Tiffany & Co. silver pieces.
