Bullseye Earrings in Argentium® Silver

Description

European Vortex Earrings in Argentium® Silver

These earrings have an arty flair and are very fun to wear!

Made of medium weight Argentium sterling silver with sterling silver French ear wires, these earrings measure 2 1\/2″ from the top of the ear wire and hang 2″ below the bottom of the ear wire. If you are concerned about heavy earring pulling your ear lobes like I am … have no fear, these earrings are light weight, weighing in at only 4 grams.

The jewelry creation featured here is made from my hand coiled and cut Argentium® silver.
Argentium® Silver is a modern silver, which modifies the traditional sterling silver (92.5% silver + 7.5% copper) by replacing most of the copper with the germanium. The addition of germanium makes Argentium® silver highly tarnish resistant.  It is a whiter, brighter silver, that is my opinion looks more like white gold than silver.  Argentium® silver is more expensive than traditional sterling silver … but in my opinion, well worth it!  An occasional rinse with a Dawn dish soap and water is all that is needed to keep this jewelry creation looking new for years to come!

PLEASE MAKE SURE TO view the additional picture, show with this listing, that will clearly show you the difference between Argentium® silver and traditional sterling silver.  In the picture, the Argentium® sterling silver side is still bright and shiny while the traditional sterling side is tarnishing.  Argentium® 930 sterling silver is highly tarnish-resistant. Jewelry-makers and customers alike appreciate the value and convenience of beautifully sparkling jewelry that requires no polishing. An occasional rinse with a Dawn dish soap and water is all that is needed.
