Argentium Silver

Available in round, square, and half round, we stock anti tarnish wire in both dead soft and half hard. Make a beautiful piece of wire jewelry for your customers to cherish with our argentium sterling silver wire.Silver is a fine, naturally occurring precious metal with an almost white sheen that is used for many purposes including jewelry making. Ordinary sterling silver is a mix of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. Developed by Peter Johns for Argentium® Silver Co. Ltd. in the United Kingdom, Wire-Sculpture's argentium sterling silver wire replaces some of the copper with the element germanium, so that the wire is still made from 92.5% silver--true sterling silver. The germanium, coupled with the silver and copper, creates a fine piece of anti-tarnish silver wire that your customers will love to wear!For more information on silver, check out Mary W.
