Argentium Silver a Lustrous New Innovation in Jewerly Making

It is the newest and most incredible innovation that has entered the world of jewerly fabrication.

It is a registered and patented alloy developed by Peter Johns, is currently being produced by Stern Leach in the U.S. under a licensing agreement from Middlesex University, England.

By adding Germanium - the"magic ingredient" - and a sterling alloy that is extremely tarnish resistant to silver a new metal was created. This metal has the following qualities:

• It is anti-oxidizing
• It is anti-fire scale
• It is tarnish resitant
• It stays bright and beautiful for weeks, months, for years and requires only an occasional wipe with a soft cloth to remove a smudge or finger mark.
• It has better fabrication characteristics than sterling silver

Yesterday, I was wearing one of my sterling silver pieces. I noticed that it has tarnished and it needed cleaning. My first thought was; I wish I had known about this new silver when I learned how to make jewelry

This metal can be formed into unique shapes when it is soft.

It can be soldered and diferent gemstone cuts can be set in a piece.

Then by means of simple heat treatment, it can be made substantially harder and stronger without the risks associated with quenching.
