WHAT IS ARGENTIUM® SILVER?:  Argentium® Silver is a superior sterling silver alloy containing a higher purity of silver (940) than traditional sterling silver (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 is 100% nickel-free.   The germanium content also makes argentium more tarnish-resistant (not tarnish-proof however and should always be cared for in the same way as sterling silver).  It uses 100% recycled silver making it a sustainable choice.    Your argentium jewellery will also be heat-hardened to give it increased durability.

PRESENTATION:  Your necklace will be carefully tissue wrapped, tied with a ribbon and sent inside my branded jewellery box.

HALLMARKING:  By UK law, all sterling 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.   The 16in version of this necklace weighs approximately 28g so therefore your necklace will be hallmarked by The London Assay Office.  Please be aware that a 925 stamp on jewellery is not a recognised official hallmark.

SHIPPING & RETURNS: Please make a note of the making time needed prior to dispatch, plus the information in the gallery.  Returns are accepted as per UK Consumer Contract Regulations.  For additional information on shipping and returns please read my policies.
