Argentium Silver
Argentium Sterling Silver is a modern sterling silver alloy which modifies
the traditional sterling silver alloy (92.5% silver + 7.5% copper) by
replacing some of the copper with the metalloid germanium. Since it is
made to a higher standard than traditional sterling silver, Argentium®
Sterling Silver is guaranteed to be not less than 92.5% pure. Argentium
Silver is the most tarnish resistant silver available on the market today.
The tarnish resistance is obtained through the alloying of Germanium
with the silver. The result is a highly tarnish resistant material that does
not require harsh chemicals to clean. If it does require cleaning it can be
wiped with a soft cloth to restore the original sparkling color. Make sure
you do not use a cloth that has tarnish from traditional sterling silver as
the tarnish might contaminate the Argentium® Silver. It can also be
washed with soap and water.
