Argentium sterling silverArgentium sterling silver is a new sterling silver alloy that uses germanium instead of some of the copper in the alloy. The metal has a nice silver color and is much more tarnish resistant than regular sterling silver.

peridotPeridot is a lovely green or yellow-green gemstone. It is one of the few gemstones that is mined in the United States (in Arizona) as well as other locations throughout the world.

topaz, blueMany people know of topaz as a blue gemstone that ranges from pale, sky blue to deep, vibrant blue. In nature, however, topaz is typically colorless. Colorless topaz is treated using irradiation and heating to turn it various shades of blue.
