Reasons to purchase ArgentiumⓇ silver:
We love the way ArgentiumⓇ silver shines, and the sustainability benefit really spoke to us and our company value to minimize our environmental impact. Keep reading for a few more reasons you'll love it as much as we do!
1. Purity
We use ArgentiumⓇ Silver that is 96% silver. Sterling silver is 92.5% silver. Unless a silver is stamped 999FS it is considered an alloy, a mixture of 2 metals. Here the other 4% is a metal called germanium.
2. Tarnish Resistant for Easy Care
With the addition of germanium instead of copper, it does not tarnish like other silver. In fact, it is about 7 times more tarnish resistant than Sterling silver.
3. Bright White Color
ArgentiumⓇ also has a bright, white gold or platinum look that shines with clarity and brilliance.
4. Sustainability
Every gram of ArgentiumⓇ silver is tracked and is 100% recycled silver. This lowers our impact on the worlds’ resources and we are happy to make this choice.
5. Hypo Allergenic
ArgentiumⓇ silver is an alloy made with another metal, germanium, and is not made with nickel. Nickel allergy is the most common metal allergy.
6. More Durable
This alloy, or mixture is both harder and more durable than other silvers. It can withstand brushing up on things a bit better than other metal alloys like sterling silver, copper or gold.
There are lots of other functional reasons jewelers and metalsmiths choose to work with ArgentiumⓇ alloy that we will outline in another blog!
