Argentium Silver lightly textured ring
Handcrafted in our Scarborough Studio.
Argentium silver is a modern alloy of silver that offers several advantages over traditional sterling silver:
1. Tarnish Resistance: Argentium silver is highly tarnish-resistant due to the addition of germanium. This means it requires less maintenance and stays shinier for longer periods.
2. Purity: It typically contains 940 pure silver.
3. Durability: Argentium silver is harder and more durable than traditional sterling silver, making it less prone to scratches and damage.
4. Hypoallergenic: Many people with allergies to traditional sterling silver find Argentium to be hypoallergenic, as it contains fewer allergenic metals like nickel.
5. Brighter Luster: Argentium silver has a brighter and whiter appearance compared to traditional silver alloys.
6. Eco-Friendly: Its production process is more environmentally friendly because it doesn't require as many chemical treatments to prevent tarnish.
