What is silver-plated jewelry?
Silver-plated jewelry is jewelry made from a base metal—such as brass, copper, or nickel—that is coated with a thin layer of real silver. The silver gives it the look and shine of solid silver, but because the silver layer is very thin, it is more affordable and less valuable than sterling or solid silver. Over time, silver-plated jewelry may wear or tarnish as the base metal shows through, especially with frequent use. It’s popular for fashion pieces and decorative designs but is not usually considered a high-value collectible. If you’re unsure whether your piece is silver-plated or solid silver, get a professional evaluation today to understand its true quality and value before you buy or sell.
