Where to Sell Silver in Houston
Silver has been trading near multi-year highs, and a lot of Houston households are sitting on more of it than they realize: a drawer of sterling jewelry, grandma's flatware set, a few coins from an old collection. The problem is that most people have no idea what any of it is worth, and plenty of buyers count on that.
At Houston Loan & Jewelry, we do it differently. Our silver buyers in Houston test every item in front of you, explain exactly how the number was reached, and put a written offer on the table with zero pressure. Clients drive in from Katy, Cypress, Spring, Pearland, Sugar Land, and The Woodlands because a transparent appraisal is worth the trip.
What Kinds of Silver We Buy
If it's real silver, we're interested. We regularly purchase sterling silver (.925) jewelry, fine silver (.999), silver coins, bullion, bars, flatware, antique and estate silver, designer pieces, and plain scrap.
Broken chains, single earrings, and tarnished trays still count. Melt value doesn't care about condition, so don't leave anything at home because it looks rough.
Silver prices move daily, so we always quote from live market data. Hallmarks are verified, purity is confirmed with professional testing equipment, and every item is weighed in front of you.
Coins and Bullion Can Beat Melt Value
Not all silver is priced by weight alone. Rare dates, low mintages, and limited-edition bullion carry collector premiums that can run well past melt.
Our specialists check numismatic value on every coin before making an offer, so a Morgan dollar or a graded round never gets priced like scrap. Bring certificates if you have them; they help us pay you more.
Flatware, Antiques, and Designer Names
Complete sterling flatware sets, antique tea services, and pieces from makers like Tiffany & Co., Georg Jensen, Gorham, Wallace, and Reed & Barton often earn premium evaluations from collectors.
One tip before you visit: skip the heavy polishing. On antique silver, original patina can add collector value, and an aggressive cleaning can remove it for good.

Silver Buyers in HoustonSort Sterling From Plated
Look for ".925," "Sterling," or "Fine Silver" marks. Separating solid silver from silver-plated items before your visit speeds up the appraisal.
Keep Sets Together
A complete flatware or tea set is worth more intact than piece by piece. Bring the whole set, box and all, whenever possible.
Bring the Paperwork
Receipts, past appraisals, and certificates for coins or bullion give our buyers more to work with and can raise your offer.
Don't Over-Polish Antiques
Original patina on antique silver often adds collector value. A quick wipe is fine; harsh polishing compounds are not.
What to Bring When You Sell Silver
- Government-issued photo ID: required for every transaction.
- Your silver items: jewelry, coins, bullion, flatware, antiques, or scrap, in any condition.
- Receipts or previous appraisals: optional, but helpful.
- Certificates for coins or bullion: if available, they support collector premiums.
That's it. Most appraisals take just a few minutes per item, and you leave with either cash in hand or a written offer you can think over.
Frequently Asked Questions
Your payout depends on the current silver spot price, the purity of your items, and their total net weight, plus any collector premium for rare coins, antiques, or designer pieces. Houston Loan & Jewelry calculates offers from live market data and shows you the math, so you know exactly how the number was reached.
Houston Loan & Jewelry offers free, no-obligation silver appraisals at 1801 Durham Drive STE 7 in the Houston Heights and at 3270 S Loop W near the Medical Center. Walk in anytime, no appointment needed, and get a same-day cash offer.
Our specialists verify hallmarks such as .925 and .999, then confirm purity with professional testing equipment and calibrated scales. Testing is non-destructive, done in front of you, and takes only a few minutes per item.
Silver-plated pieces contain only a thin layer of silver, so they carry little melt value and we generally do not buy them by weight. Some plated antiques still have collectible value, though, so bring them along and we'll take a look at no charge.
Often, yes. Rare coins, limited-edition bullion, antique sterling, and pieces from makers like Tiffany & Co. or Georg Jensen can command collector premiums well above their metal content. We evaluate collectible demand on every item before making an offer.
