Sell Your Silver Ring in Canada

Used silver rings in Canada typically sell for C$19 to C$115 (about $13 to $81). Silver jewellery is priced mostly on maker and design rather than metal weight, since the scrap value is usually small.

Selling a silver ring in Canada

Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Canada’s resale market is concentrated in a handful of metro areas separated by very long distances, which makes it unusually collection-led — most buyers are looking for something they can pick up the same week.

Shipping cost is the single commonest reason a Canadian listing stalls. Decide collection versus courier before you price it, and say which you are offering.

Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.

Working out what yours is worth

• Look for a hallmark inside the band and photograph it
• Check the shank thickness at the back for wear

Getting it ready

• Find the hallmark inside the band and photograph it magnified. Look for 925, sterling, or a full assay mark.
• Clean gently with a silver cloth. Do not use dip solutions on anything with oxidised detail, which they strip.

Photograph

• The ring from the front, filling the frame
• The hallmark inside the band, magnified and legible
• Any stone setting, plus every scratch, dent or worn area

Put in the description

• Ring size in the local convention plus internal diameter in millimetres
• Weight in grams
• Any stone, its setting, and whether it is secure

Metal, style and size: “Sterling Silver Band Ring, 925 Hallmarked, Size N”. The hallmark and the size are the two searches. If there is a maker’s mark, include it — some silver makers are collected in their own right and the name does more than any description.

Post small and tracked, in a rigid box rather than an envelope. Small valuable items are the ones that go missing, so a signed service is worth the small extra cost.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$113 a buyer pays is the C$113 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions

Where can I sell a silver ring in Canada?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Is the stone secure?

Press gently and check for movement. A loose stone is a small repair but a large disappointment if it falls out on the way home.

How can I tell if a ring is real silver?

Look for a hallmark inside the band. Sterling silver is marked, and plated pieces generally are not.

Is silver worth much as scrap?

Usually not much. For most silver jewellery the design and maker are worth more than the metal.
