The Rising Value of Silver

January 26, 2026

Silver has surged recently, and it’s showing no signs of stopping.

Over the past year, silver prices have more than doubled.

This means that makers everywhere have had to adjust pricing, and jewellery made with real silver has been increasing in value.

Real silver (e.g. 925 / Sterling or 999 / Fine) has material worth. Historically, precious metals like silver tend to retain value, and often grow in value over time.

Quality Matters

Quality matters when buying silver jewellery. If something seems too cheap, it might not be real silver or may be silver plated. And if it starts to chip or disintegrate, those are warning signs. Real silver is meant to age beautifully.

Pricing Impact

These are unprecedented times. Historically, silver prices have remained quite stable. In order to keep up, jewellery pricing must be adjusted on a regular basis to keep up with the increasing costs. So, you may see prices change quite dramatically, depending on what the market does.

On the Bright Side

If you own solid silver pieces, then these are going up in value right now. The market increases are also highlighting just how amazing and beautiful this precious metal is (see previous blog here) and more and more people are appreciating its value.

Silver is Magical

Silver is of this Earth, but it is also of the Cosmos. Born in cosmic explosions where immense pressure and fire fused matter into precious metals. Over millions of years, those star-forged particles travelled through space, eventually settling into the bones of our planet.

When you wear silver, you’re wearing something impossibly ancient: matter that has survived the collapse of stars, and the forming of worlds. This story stretches all the way back to the cosmos.
