The idea of silver wedding rings is becoming more and more popular. But when considering silver as a metal for your wedding ring, you may wish to consider Argentium Sterling Silver, which is a step up from regular sterling silver. Here are some basic facts about this metal:
• Argentium Sterling Silver stays bright and beautiful for years.
• Argentium Sterling Silver is a naturally hard metal, which lends itself to greater strength than regular sterling silver. It is durable and can be considered problem-free by most standards.
• Argentium Sterling Silver is highly tarnish resistant – so its shine is long lasting. There is no need for additional professional polishing or excessive care. Warm water and a mild detergent are all that are required to maintain its appearance. Smudges can easily be removed by using a soft dry cloth only.
• It is a “green” metal – friendly to the environment. Chemicals are not required to correct potential fire scale (or fire stain) damage to metal which sometimes occurs when metals are heated during the manufacturing process.
