What Is Argentium Silver?

Image
  In 1991, after ten years of experimentation, Peter Johns invented Argentium Silver , and the jewellery industry hasn’t been the same since. Johns began his research because of a big problem called firestain. Firestain is when dark spots appear on the silver after applying heat. It’s impossible to manipulate silver without heat, so you can imagine how annoying firestain can be. Luckily, this problem has been solved. Argentium Silver can’t be firestained because of the Germanium element Peter Johns added to the silver. Johns accidentally added many other benefits to this new silver; Argentium is nickel-free, making it hypoallergenic. This way, people who are typically allergic to silver and can wear this material without any problems. This clever alloy has proven to be more capable of withstanding everyday wear. Argentium Silver tarnishes three times slower than sterling silver, and it’s extra scratch-resistant. These benefits make it much easier to travel with and easier to care for.

Men tend to get themselves a ring that fits on the looser side. This explains how so many wedding bands have gotten lost (Ryan is on his third). We urge you, gentlemen, to choose a snugger fit next time, so you can keep those rings on your fingers . Rule #2: Trust your fit preference. Some like their rings extra snug, maybe their rings get stuck sometimes but they deal with it. Some like their rings loose enough that it spins around their finger comfortably. It’s OK to ask yourself what you like best and then stick with this fit. Rule #3: Choose the larger size if you feel you’re between two sizes. Only go smalle
