PURER – Argentium’s 935 and 960 grades set new purity standards for silver. Argentium is always purer than traditional sterling silver.

BRIGHTER – Argentium silver is brighter than platinum, white gold and traditional sterling. It is the whitest of them all.

LONGER LASTING SHINE – Argentium silver is low maintenance, easy to care for and simple to clean. Argentium is tarnish resistant.

RESPONSIBLE SILVER – Argentium guarantees traceability of its raw silver. It is certified that Argentium is produced using only recycled silver.

 Our jump rings follow the American Wire Gauge (AWG), also known as Brown and Sharpe (B&S). All sizes listed are inside diameter (I.D.), which corresponds to the size of the mandrel onto which the wire is wound. Use these I.D.'s as a guide, not an absolute as springback can occur.

If needed, Argentium can be polished with a polishing cloth. It is not recommended to use "dip" silver cleaners with Argentium. 

Please check our return policy before purchasing argentium jump rings.
