Are modern Sheffield silver items still produced today?

Silver items are still produced in Sheffield today, though the scale is much smaller than in the 19th century. Modern workshops focus on craftsmanship and bespoke production rather than mass manufacturing. The Sheffield Assay Office continues to test and mark items, maintaining standards that date back over 250 years. Contemporary pieces include jewellery, tableware, and commemorative objects. Production numbers are lower, though the quality remains high. Many items are made to order, with prices reflecting both material and labour. A modern sterling silver piece may sell for several hundred euros or more depending on size and design. Sheffield’s connection with silver craftsmanship continues, even though the industry no longer operates at its historical scale.
