What is Argentium Sterling Silver?
Why I Choose to Work in Argentium Sterling Silver
As a jewelry artist, I’ve always believed that the materials we work with should reflect the same care and intention we put into our designs. Every metal has its own personality — its own way of catching the light and carrying meaning. Over the years, I’ve fallen deeply in love with Argentium Sterling Silver, a modern silver alloy that brings both beauty and responsibility together in perfect harmony.
What Makes Argentium Silver Different
Argentium Silver 935 is a contemporary form of sterling silver that contains 93.5% pure silver, slightly higher than traditional sterling’s 92.5%. But the magic lies in what replaces some of the copper: a trace element called germanium. This small change creates a metal that’s brighter, stronger, and more durable than traditional sterling silver — a dream for both jewelers and the client.
Because of this special blend, Argentium is highly resistant to tarnish. Germanium forms a natural barrier that slows oxidation, meaning your jewelry stays luminous and clear far longer. You’ll notice your pieces need less polishing and retain that fresh, radiant shine that we all love.
The Responsible Silver
Argentium is more than just beautiful — it’s ethically made. Every bit of silver used in Argentium alloys is 100% recycled and fully traceable, earning it the title The Responsible Silver™. It’s also nickel-free and hypoallergenic, which makes it safe for sensitive skin. For those who value sustainability and comfort as much as artistry, Argentium is a perfect match.
A Metal That Mirrors My Values
Working with Argentium allows me to create jewelry that feels aligned with the heart of Pure Whimsy Jewelry — meaningful, lasting, and kind to the Earth. It holds up beautifully over time, resists wear, and reflects light in a way that feels almost ethereal — like moonlight dancing across water.
Each piece in my Signature Collection is made by hand with love, intention, and respect for both you and our planet.
