Argentium Silver has a range of unique and superior properties that are beneficial for manufacturers, retailers and consumers.
It is a brand of modern tarnish-resistantΒ silverΒ alloys, containing either 93.5% or 96%Β silver.Β ArgentiumΒ alloys replace some of the copper in the traditional sterlingΒ silverΒ alloy (92.5%Β silverΒ + 7.5% copper) with the metalloid germanium.
ArgentiumΒ is one of a new generation of silver alloys. It was developed specifically to combat the tarnish that occurs as silver oxidises when it comes into contact with air, which is a major drawback for all who love silver. However, Argentium also boasts a whole range of other properties besides this, which help to make it an exceedingly clever alloy for those who choose to embrace it.
