- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024Yes, some antique sterling silver is valuable. Sterling silver of any age has value as a material because it is a precious metal.

- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024To tell if sterling silver is real, put a magnet close to it. Genuine sterling silver isn't magnetic, so an attraction may indicate one of two things.

For assistance with the identification process, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or experienced jeweler. Shop a large selection of sterling silver jewelry on 1stDibs.
