How Much Is 1 kg of Scrap Silver Worth?
1 kilogram = 1,000 grams. For sterling (925) scrap at Mozeris’s published £0.80/g, that is about £800 for a full kilo of tested 925—before you mix in plate, steel blades, or non-silver components. Fine (999) can sit above that.

What We Pay for 1 kg of Scrap Silver
When you sell scrap silver to us, we pay £0.80 per gram for sterling (925). So 1 kilogram (1,000 grams) of sterling scrap silver is worth £800. Fine silver (999) can be slightly higher. Your exact offer is based on the actual weight and purity we get when we test your items.

How 1 kg Scrap Silver Is Valued
One kilogram = 1,000 grams. Value is weight × purity × our rate. We pay £0.80 per gram for sterling, so 1 kg of sterling = 1,000 × £0.80 = £800. If you have a mix of purities (e.g. some 925, some 999), we weigh and test each and give you one clear total offer. See our silver per gram and silver price guide for more.
Bulk Lots, Dealers & Probate
If you are clearing a house, winding up stock, or moving a sack of mixed tableware, the kilo question is usually gross weight vs silver weight. Knives with steel blades, EPNS mixed with 925, and weighted candlesticks all need sorting—otherwise you will overestimate how many of your 1,000g are actually paying at the sterling scrap band.
- Photos that help: the full pile, a few hallmark close-ups, and anything that looks plated or magnetic.
- Insured post or collection is common for multi-kilo lots; we confirm weight and purity on receipt.
- Canteens and named silver may beat scrap: see the flatware guide before you assume melt.
What Counts Toward 1 kg
Any solid silver (sterling 925, fine 999, or other grades) counts. That includes broken jewellery, cutlery, coins, bars, candlesticks, tea sets, photo frames—anything that is hallmarked or tested as real silver. Silver-plated (EPNS) has minimal scrap value. You don’t need exactly 1 kg; we buy any amount. If you have around 1 kg or more, it’s worth getting a valuation. Check how to tell if silver is real and purity marks.
Jewellery & flatware
Rings, chains, spoons, forks—any sterling. Incomplete sets welcome.
Coins & bullion

Weight in grams
We weigh everything after sorting—500 g and 2 kg scale linearly off published 925 £/g if purity holds.

Not always. A stamped bullion bar is usually a known purity (often 999). A kilo of “scrap” cutlery is often 925 with steel blades, hollow handles, or plated pieces mixed in—so the payable silver weight after sorting and assay can be less than 1,000g of sterling. That is why we test rather than trust a single kitchen-scale total.
