Question 1

Why is silver more volatile than gold?

Accepted Answer

Silver has a much smaller total market value and roughly half of annual demand comes from industrial use (solar panels, electronics, EVs), unlike gold which is mostly monetary. Industrial demand swings with the economic cycle, amplifying silver's price moves — silver typically rises further than gold in bull markets and falls further in bear markets.

Question 2

What is the gold-to-silver ratio and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

The gold-to-silver ratio is simply the price of one troy ounce of gold divided by the price of one troy ounce of silver. The historical average is 60:1 and it has ranged from 30:1 to over 100:1 in the modern era. Traders watch this ratio to rotate between the two metals — a high ratio suggests silver is undervalued relative to gold.

Question 3

What purity is investment silver?

Accepted Answer

Investment-grade silver bars and coins are .999 or .9999 fine (99.9% or 99.99% pure). Sterling silver jewelry is .925 (92.5% pure, with 7.5% copper for hardness). Always check the hallmark before calculating melt value.

Question 4

How do I calculate my sterling silver jewelry value?

Accepted Answer

Weight in grams × 0.925 × current spot price per gram = intrinsic metal value. For example, 100g of sterling at $2.00 per gram is 100 × 0.925 × $2.00. Scrap dealers typically pay 70–85% of this for refining.

Question 5

How is the silver price determined?

Accepted Answer

The silver spot price (XAG) is set by global commodity markets — primarily the London Bullion Market (LBMA), COMEX in New York, and the Shanghai Gold Exchange. Prices are quoted in US dollars per troy ounce and update continuously during market hours. We convert the live USD quote to your local currency and weight unit in real time.

Question 6

Why is the silver price different at my local shop?

Accepted Answer

Local retailers add a premium over the spot price to cover refining, fabrication, shipping, dealer margin, and VAT or sales tax. Expect 2–8% markup on bullion coins and bars, and 10–30% on jewelry (the extra covers design and labour). Our prices are the unadjusted global spot, which is the raw material cost before any premium.

Question 7

How often do your silver prices update?

Accepted Answer

Our XAG quotes refresh every 60 seconds during market hours and are sourced from institutional feeds. Historical charts use daily London PM fix values for consistency with financial reporting standards.

Question 8

Can I use these prices to calculate resale value?

Accepted Answer

The spot price is the starting point, but a dealer will typically offer 92–98% of spot for investment-grade bars and coins, and 60–85% of the melt value for scrap jewelry (after deducting for purity and weight loss during refining). Always check two or three dealers before selling.
