What is Argentium Silver?

 

Argentium Sterling silver is a modern silver alloy which modifies

the traditional alloy (92.5% silver + 7.5% copper)

by replacing some of the copper with the metalloid germanium.

As it contains at least 92.5% silver content

of the traditional alloy, it is still referred to as sterling silver.

 

Argentium silver 935 and 960 is a high purity jewelry alloy that meets the hallmarking requirements for the

U.K. Britannia standard. The 935 and 960 alloy modifies the conventional

Britannia silver composition (95.84 silver,

balance copper) with the addition of germanium.
