Turn Your Sterling Silver Flatware Into Cash Quickly and Safely

Do you have sterling silver flatware, tea sets, trays, or hollowware sitting unused in your home? Many homeowners don’t realize these pieces are more than decorative — they have real cash value, sometimes hundreds or thousands of dollars, depending on weight, craftsmanship, and rarity.

At Glitter Bug Gold Buyers, we provide a professional, private, and secure process to sell your silver flatware in South Orange County, including Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, Irvine, Costa Mesa, and surrounding areas.

We specialize in instant cash offers, private office appointments, and fair appraisals, making it easy to sell your silver with confidence.

Why Your Sterling Silver Flatware is Valuable

Many people overlook the true worth of their silver flatware. Here’s what makes your items valuable:

  • Purity & Hallmarks – Sterling silver is stamped “925” or “Sterling.” This ensures high-quality silver content.

  • Weight & Volume – Larger, heavier flatware sets have higher cash value.

  • Design & Craftsmanship – Antique, designer, or collectible sets often carry additional premium value.

  • Even Partial Sets Are Valuable – Broken, mismatched, or incomplete pieces still have melt value.

Understanding the value of your silver is the first step to maximizing your payout.

Silver Items We Buy

We accept a wide range of sterling silver items, including:

  • Full or partial flatware sets (forks, knives, spoons, serving pieces)

  • Tea sets: teapots, sugar bowls, creamers, trays

  • Hollowware: serving bowls, trays, and decorative items

  • Candlesticks and centerpieces

  • Collectible or antique silver pieces

Even if your set is incomplete or worn, we will provide a fair offer based on current market prices.
