Buying silver from Lavi is simple.
Lock a quote. Wire the funds. We confirm and ship — authenticity and purity guaranteed. A real person is on hand at every step. No accounts, no logins, no surprises.
Trusted, fast, and simple.
Lock your quote
Place an order on the site or by WhatsApp. The price freezes for 6 hours — silver could run while you wire, the price won't.
Quick KYC
For orders over ₪5,000, a 2-minute KYC review. Or get pre-approved — once we review, your KYC stays on file for future orders.
Wire the funds
Send a Zahav wire from your Israeli bank. Reference number is on your order email.
We confirm
Funds land, we mark the order Confirmed and start order fulfillment. You get an email.
Silver at your door
Authenticity and purity guaranteed. In-stock lines ship within 48 hours; by-order lines take about two weeks to source and can slip. Either way it goes overnight with Israel Post, FedEx or UPS — or you collect in Jerusalem.
A real human, end-to-end
We're a boutique dealer, not a chatbot. If you have a question — about the wire, the timing, the product — message us on WhatsApp and a person answers.
The number you see is the number you pay.
Every checkout price is built from three live inputs: global silver spot, the USD→ILS rate, and our per-product premium. The instant you click Place Order, all three freeze.
That frozen quote holds for 6 hours. Even if silver runs 2% in the meantime, the price you saw is the price you pay.
- Silver spot
Live international ₪/oz benchmark — refreshed every minute.
- USD → ILS
The shekel exchange rate that turns wholesale silver into your local price.
- Product premium
The above-spot pricing each coin or bar carries — set by mintage, supply, and market demand. Always shown per item, never bundled in.
- VAT
Israeli 18% VAT, applied per the Israel tax authority.
Send a Zahav. Always.
Bank wire keeps fees low and lets us pass the savings into our premium. We don't accept cards, PayPal, or crypto. And among wires, Zahav (זה״ב) is the only one that lets us lock your price the way the order page promises.
Zahav (זה״ב) — Israel's real-time wire
Zahav lands in minutes, not days. That's how we confirm your order inside the 6-hour quote window and execute against the price you locked. Every Israeli bank supports it — Hapoalim, Leumi, Discount, Mizrahi, FIBI — usually behind a button literally labeled “זה”ב” in your online banking.
- Settles in minutes — your quote stays good.
- Available from every major Israeli bank, online or in-branch.
- Use the reference number on your order email so it matches cleanly.
Never sent a Zahav before?
It's easier than it sounds — usually one button in your online banking. Walk into your branch or call your relationship manager and they'll show you in 30 seconds. Or just message us on WhatsApp and we'll walk you through your bank's flow.
In stock in 48 hours. Or bought in for you.
We hold it now — marked in stock on the product page. Ships within 48 hours of your order confirming, then overnight to your door.
Bought in for you — about two weeks to source, and it can slip if the mint or wholesaler is slow. We tell you where yours stands rather than let it go quiet.
Every order gets replenished — whatever leaves our vault, we re-buy from the same mint or wholesaler so the next customer can buy the same coin or bar.
The “what if” questions.
Most orders go straight through. Here's what happens in the rare cases that don't.
My wire arrived after the 6-hour window. What now?+
You don't need to do anything. A representative will reach out by email or phone, walk you through current spot, and offer two paths:
- Re-lock at today's price — same items, fresh number. We reconcile against funds received (you wire the difference, or we refund if today's spot is lower).
- Cancel and refund — full refund, no fees deducted. We don't profit from cancellations.
Can I re-price an order before it's confirmed?+
Yes. Up until we mark your order Confirmed (funds received, fulfillment started), there's a one-click re-lock link in your order email. Same items, today's numbers. If silver dropped while you waited, you keep the savings.
What if my wire amount doesn't match the order exactly?+
The order moves into a holding state and a representative reaches out. We reconcile the difference — you wire the gap, or we refund the surplus. Nothing is locked in until everything matches.
I'm a first-time buyer — how does this actually go?+
Wire your funds; if you haven't messaged us yet, a representative will reach out personally to walk you through the rest. The whole flow is human-paced. A small deposit may be required to start. You get a real person who can answer questions, explain the spot, and guide you to the right entry point.
I order regularly — can I lock a price by phone?+
Yes. For established clients we can arrange a locking fee over the phone — you commit to a spend amount, the lock fee secures the price, and the trade executes at the agreed quote regardless of where spot moves while your wire is in flight. Call us to set it up.
When does a quote require KYC review?+
For large orders or first-time customers. We hold the quote a little longer to give our team time to verify documents. Get pre-approved now to skip inline review on every future order.
Should I try to time the silver market?+
Honestly, no — even the pros can't reliably. Our advice to most clients: dollar-cost average. Buy a fixed shekel amount on a regular cadence rather than waiting for the “right” moment.
“Time in the market beats timing the market.”
