Old cutlery that hasn’t seen daylight in years, broken chains and tarnished pieces you’ve written off are all worth something if they’re solid silver, and VINTARI will tell you exactly how much.
Every piece of scrap silver is tested with a certified Vanta XRF Analyser, weighed on calibrated scales, and priced against the live silver spot price. Our margin is 93%, and we’ll explain the offer before you decide on anything.
Snapped chains, bent rings, single earrings and damaged bracelets are all bought on silver content, not condition.
Dented, tarnished or incomplete sets are still worth assessing. Sterling silver is sterling silver regardless of condition.
A bag of assorted silver pieces is fine, and we assess each item individually so you know what each one is worth.
Manufacturing scraps, jewellery components and silver off-cuts are all welcome.
Most people have no idea what their scrap silver is actually worth until it gets tested. At VINTARI, we see people walk in expecting very little and leave pleasantly surprised. Sterling silver cutlery alone can add up quickly once it’s weighed properly.

We pay cash or bank transfer on the spot.
Purity and weight are what drive the number. Sterling silver (925) and fine silver (999) fetch different rates because the silver content differs. We apply the live spot price to the actual silver content of each piece individually, not a blanket rate across the lot.
We’re based in Clarence Gardens on South Rd, in Adelaide’s south. Scrap silver is one of the most common things we assess, so don’t hesitate to walk in.
