This gorgeous butterfly has been constructed from two layers of Argentium silver.   The top layer is where I have sawn out all the wing detail with a super fine jewellers saw.   Then I carefully refine the sawn out areas with lots of filing and sanding.   Then the two layers and body are fused together.   Lots more refinement is then necessary before soldering on the antennae and jump rings for the chain.

Argentium® Silver is a superior sterling silver alloy containing a higher purity of silver (940) than traditional sterling silver (at 925).  Like sterling, argentium is alloyed with copper but also contains a little germanium which has anti-bacterial properties meaning that Argentium is hypo-allergenic and can often be worn by people with sensitivities to traditional sterling – it contains absolutely no nickel.   The germanium content also makes argentium more tarnish-resistant (not tarnish-proof however) and it uses 100% recycled silver making it a more sustainable choice.    Your argentium jewellery will also be heat-hardened to give it more durability too.  What is not to love?!

Your necklace will be carefully tissue wrapped, secured with ribbon and placed inside a branded cardboard jewellery box.

Please do get in touch if you have any more questions.

• A note about hallmarking:

By UK law, all silver items for sale weighing 7.78g or over must be hallmarked by one of the four U.K. Assay Offices.   It is illegal to sell items over this weight in silver without a hallmark.   This pendant weighs above the threshold and will be hallmarked at Edinburgh Assay Office and will also have the Winged Unicorn mark applied to show that it is made from Argentium silver.
