Perchè l'Argentium è l'argento migliore

Why Argentium is the best silver

To always provide its customers with the highest quality, OpaleMio offers opal jewelry set in 935 Argentium silver. Argentium 935 is a new generation silver alloy, created in 1991 by master silversmith Peter Johns of Middlesex University after 10 years of research, with the aim of eliminating the dullness caused by silver oxidation when exposed to air.

Unlike 925 silver (or sterling silver), Argentium 935 contains a higher amount of pure silver, depending on the grade, and the element germanium, which makes it up to 7 times more resistant to oxidation. As a result, Argentium is brighter, whiter, and retains its shine over time.

Argentium 935 is also hypoallergenic and responsibly produced using recycled silver.
