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.

garnetGarnets are available in a wide variety of colors, from the rare green tsavorite and demantoid garnets to the rare orange spessartite garnet to the red or pink rhodolite, pyrope, and almandite garnets. The most plentiful garnets are pyrope, almandite, or a combination of the two. Garnets are rarely treated.

turquoiseMany people know of turquoise as a blue gemstone used in southwest-style jewelry. I like to use Sleeping Beauty turquoise, which has a bright robin's egg blue color. This turquoise has been stabilized so that it is less likely to become stained or discolored.
