Argentium silver (AS) is made with a touch of geranium, which severely inhibits tarnishing.  Argentium is silver and is marked .930, which is never less than 93% silver, higher graded Argentium silver is never less than 97% silver.

There is not a lot of Argentium silver on the market today. This type of silver could be used by silversmiths to create handcrafted jewelry. We sometimes use this type of silver in our handcrafted necklaces. We carry a few on these Argentium silver chains on our site. I have this figure-8 chain shown here. I love it. It reminds me of white gold but without the price. This chain is great for several of our pendants available at SilverStones.

Argentium silver cannot be melted down with sterling silver. If you recycle your silver, keep this type of silver separated from your sterling silver, which is marked .925.

Check out these new .925 sterling silver chains we just added to our site.  Shown on this page is the beveled curb chain from Germany. This 20″ sterling silver chain is a great chain for a man and is the largest chain we carry measuring 4.1mm in width.  We also have another silver curb chain from Germany that measures 2.9mm in width that is available in 18″, 20″ and 24″. We added two chains from Italy. One is a box chain available in 18″ and 20″; the other one is a beveled curb chain available in 20″ and 24″.  Not to mention many other sterling silver chains available in several different lengths that are made in the USA!

When ordering a pendant to go with a chain, be sure the opening of the pendant is at least 1mm larger than the width of your chain. Use the contact us form on our Web site if you have any question regarding these chains and pendants available.
