Sterling silver is 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. Silver plated is a silver coating on top of either brass, copper or lead.
We purchase sterling silver, however we do not purchase silver plated items. If you are unsure, give us a call before making your appointment and we can guide you over the phone or email a photo of your items. Silver plated items can be recycled at AIM.
-
Gold, silver and platinum are non-magnetic. Many gold-plated items have a core of nickel or iron, which is magnetic. Therefore a magnet can be used to determine if your item is nickel or iron, with a thin plating of gold.
Please note: Some gold-plated items contain a brass core, which is not magnetic.
-
MINTY determines and purchases the gold and silver value only. Gemstones are returned to each client if they wish to keep them or we offer a few other options to suit the clients best wishes.
For repurposing gemstones we work with and can refer clients to local Burlington jeweller David Jockheck and for appraisals on higher end items clients are welcome to our complimentary appraisal clinic.
-
Clients are paid on the spot (if they choose to sell) through e-transfer or by cheque – the choice is always the client’s.
-
Yes, we purchase all broken, unworn and orphaned (missing it’s pair) gold and silver jewellery.
