Argentium silver is a relatively new brand of tarnish resistant silver alloy on the market. The alloy has been patented by the Argentium Silver Company in the UK and is GUARANTEED TO BE FREE OF NICKEL.

Argentium silver has a higher content of silver than sterling, and the nickel alloy present in sterling silver has been replaced with geranium for strength. This is a safe metal for most people with nickel sensitivities.

Backers are available in larger 7MM & 9MM sizes.
- MAY NEED LONGER POSTS unless you have thinner earlobes
cleans up with soap and water or alcohol...do not use chemicals or hydrogen peroxide
Larger backers can also be used to shorten a post that is too long

7MM x 4MM thick backers $6 pr
9MM x 5MM thick backers $12 pr.

EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR METAL BACKERS

TITANIUM, NIOBIUM, GOLD AND SILVER ARE ELEMENTS OF THE EARTH AND ARE NATURALLY FREE OF ALLOYS.

PURE gold and silver are too soft to be practical for most jewelry. NICKEL ADDS STRENGTH TO SOFTER METALS AND IS IN MOST METALS USED FOR JEWELRY, INCLUDING GOLD, SILVER, PLATINUM AND SURGICAL STAINLESS STEEL...there are exceptions.
