How to Determine if Your Item is Gold or Silver

Identifying the Purity of Gold

Most genuine gold items contain small stamped markings known as hallmarks that indicate their purity. These marks help determine the percentage of gold contained in the item and can usually be found in discreet areas of the jewelry.

For example, rings often have the stamp inside the band, while chains and necklaces typically show their mark near the clasp. Bracelets may have the hallmark on the clasp or inside the band, and earrings are usually stamped on the post or backing.

Common gold purity markings include:

  • 999 – 24 karat gold (99.9% pure)

  • 750 – 18 karat gold (75% pure)

  • 585 – 14 karat gold (58.5% pure)

In some cases, you may also notice a maker’s mark or sponsor’s mark, which identifies the manufacturer, refiner, or designer responsible for producing the item.

Identifying the Purity of Silver

Silver items also carry hallmarks that indicate their silver content. These marks are typically located in the same areas as gold jewelry, such as on clasps, inside bands, or on earring posts.

Some common silver markings include:

  • 925 – Sterling silver (92.5% pure silver)

  • 900 – 90% silver content

  • 800 / 825 / 830 / 850 – Various grades of continental silver

Items that are silver-plated rather than solid silver are often stamped with markings such as EP or EPNS, indicating that only a thin layer of silver is applied over a base metal.

Understanding these markings can help you estimate the value of your precious metal items before selling or appraising them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of gold and silver items can I sell?
You can sell a wide range of precious metal items including gold jewelry, silver jewelry, broken or damaged pieces, gold and silver coins, bullion, silverware, and other items made from precious metals.
Yes. Even if your jewelry is broken, tangled, or missing stones, it may still have value based on its gold or silver content.

The value is typically based on three factors: the current market price (spot price) of the metal, the item’s weight, and its purity. Items are carefully evaluated to ensure an accurate offer.

Most genuine items have hallmark stamps indicating their purity, such as 585, 750, or 999 for gold and 925 for sterling silver. These markings are often found on the inside of rings, near clasps on chains, or on the back of earrings.

In many cases, the primary value comes from the precious metal content. However, certain gemstones or diamonds may add additional value depending on their quality and condition.
Depending on the selling process, appointments may or may not be required. Many sellers allow customers to request a quote or start the selling process online before sending or bringing in their items.
