Argentium® Sterling Silver is a patented and trademarked alloy that is at least 92.5% pure silver, just like traditional sterling silver. What makes it different from traditional sterling silver is that a small amount of germanium replaces some of the copper that is usually the other 7.5% of sterling silver. Peter Johns, a professor of silversmithing at Middlesex University in England, invented Argentium® Sterling Silver in 1996.

This translucent Montana Agate cabochon has beautiful internal banding that gives it wonderful movement. This is a freeform stone that is hand cut by me and then wrapped in beautiful Argentium Sterling Silver wire. It comes with a sterling silver chain and gift box. It is approximately 12.6 grams in weight and is about 1¾” from the top of the bail to the bottom of the pendant. It is about 1¼“at its widest point.

Argentium® Sterling Silver is highly tarnish-resistant and does not firescale.
