A new era for silver
"Argentium is the most significant development to
silver in hundreds of years"
What is Argentium Silver
Argentium Silver was invented in the 1990s by Master Silversmith Peter Johns, in association with Middlesex University, London. His initial research concentrated on eliminating firestain in traditional Sterling silver using the element Germanium. It was not only successful but he discovered that small amounts of the element could impart a range of wonderful physical and working properties to silver alloys, including tarnish resistance and heat-hardening properties.
​
Argentium has a firescale-free surface that doesn’t require plating. It can be easily welded and fused to itself and other precious metals. It has strength and durability and can be hardened by a simple, low-temperature heat treatment. Argentium has excellent tarnish resistance, is hypoallergenic and responsibly made from recycled silver. This contemporary precious metal offers a modern and fun approach to silversmithing and jewellery making.
