What drives the silver price
Silver moves with both precious-metal demand and industrial use in electronics, solar and manufacturing, so it tends to swing more sharply in percentage terms than gold. In the UK, the GBP/USD rate also shapes the pound price.
Metal value vs antique silver
Charts track the spot price of pure silver. Fine antique sterling silver, canteens, Georgian tableware and makers such as Georg Jensen or Mappin & Webb are valued for maker, age and craftsmanship above melt weight.
Market price and what a buyer pays
The figures on this page are the market value of the metal. A buyer pays less than that, and how much less depends on the buyer. Antique, signed and stone-set pieces can be worth more than their metal, which is why we look at each piece before making an offer.

Silver price history: questions
What is the UK silver price today?
At the last update fine silver stood at £36.74 per troy ounce (£1.18 per gram), and sterling 925 silver at £1.09 per gram.
Does sterling silver track the silver price history chart?
Yes. Sterling 925 silver is 92.5% fine silver, so its metal value moves directly with the fine silver spot price, while antique and designer pieces carry collector value on top.
Is this what I would be paid for my silver?
No. These figures are the market value of the metal itself, known as the spot price. A buyer pays less than spot, because of refining, testing and their margin. For a figure for your own silver, use our instant offer or send photographs for a free valuation.

The silver price moves throughout the trading day. The figures on this page are worked out from the live price per troy ounce in pounds and refresh about once a minute.
