Built for Silverware. Seriously.
Most appraisal tools treat silverware as an afterthought. 925s.ai was built from the ground up to understand the nuances of British hallmarking, European silver standards, American sterling, and the difference between a piece worth £50 and one worth £5,000. We're starting with silverware because it deserves proper attention.
Paintings and luxury watches coming soon.
Getting the best result
What Makes a Good Photo
Lay the piece on a plain surface and photograph from directly above or slightly to the side. Avoid shadows.
The back of a spoon handle, the underside of a plate, the base of a candelabra — but also check the rim, sides, and handle. British pieces typically mark the base; Continental and Italian silver often marks the rim or side. When in doubt, photograph everywhere you see a stamp.
Hold your phone close and let it autofocus. A raking light (torch held at an angle) makes shallow marks pop.
