Sterling Silver Melt Value Calculator

Please Note: Sterling Silver items like candlestick holders, bowls and cups are sometimes weighted with concrete, wax, plaster, or other fillers and some items may have steel support rods added for strength. These items are usually stamped "weighted" or "weighted reinforced" to indicate that some type of non precious metal filler has been used. Sometimes sterling silver flatware dinner knifes, have stainless steel blades with steel support rods and filler in the sterling silver handle. Your Sterling Silver must be free of all stainless steel and weighted filler like wax, plaster, concrete and support rods for the calculator to be accurate.

1. Remove any filler from "weighted" items.
2. Find an accurate scale and weigh your sterling silver.
3. Enter the spot price. (You can enter the spot price located on the calculator or put in any value you want.)
4. Select the weight type you are using..ie grams, grains, ounces, pounds...
5. Enter the weight of the sterling silver items.
6. Click the "calculate" button.
