What is Argentium silver?

So what is Argentium, and why was it created? Argentium 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. But that’s not the only reason. 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.

Argentium Silver from Cooksongold

Cooksongold continues to supply jewellery makers with quality precious metal products, from yellow and white gold to platinum, palladium and silver. But we now also stock quality Argentium silver sheet and wire as part of our wider range of bullion.

What is Argentium Silver?

Argentium is a modification of the traditional alloy - as copper is replaced with metalloid germanium - creating a stronger, brighter and more versatile precious metal.

Considered as setting a new purity standard for silver, Argentium sterling silver is far brighter, durable and versatile. What's more, as Argentium silver sheet is also highly resistant to firescale, it's an excellent material to use when it comes to soldering work. From Argentium rings to pendants and bangles, try this quality range of solder and sheet for a high shine and professional finish.

Our range of products includes Argentium wire, sheet, solder and Argentium silver casting grain that is both tarnish and fire stain resistant in comparison to traditional sterling silver. You get all the shine without the added maintenance.

Want to create your own Argentium rings? For more information on our Argentium silver wire, sheet and solder range, or to discuss your exact requirements, contact us today. Alternatively, check out the wide variety of jewellery making supplies available here at Cooksongold.
