• Argentium silver is 93.5% pure silver which is a bit more than sterling which is 92.5% pure silver.
• Argentium silver replaces a bit of the copper in sterling silver with germanium, making Argentium silver 7xs more resistant to tarnishing than sterling silver.
• The use of germanium in Argentium silver makes it the whitest metal available. It is brighter than sterling silver, white gold and platinum.
• Argentium silver is naturally nickel free and more durable than sterling silver.
