Silver: small price, big moves
Silver costs a fraction of gold per gram, but often moves more in percentage terms. Much of the demand comes from industry (solar panels, electronics), the rest from jewellery, cutlery, coins and bars.
925, 835 and 800
Sterling silver (925) is the jewellery standard: 92.5% silver with a little copper for strength. Older Dutch silverware is often 835, German and southern European silverware 800. Investment silver is usually 999.
Why margins differ for silver
For a silver necklace, the metal value is often a small part of the selling price. A fixed amount for craftsmanship usually works better than a percentage alone. GoudZilverKoers combines both, with a minimum price so low-priced items never drop below your floor.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the price per kilo so different?
It is the same price, converted: a kilo is 1,000 grams. Bars are often priced per kilo, jewellery per gram.
