materials:

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.

fine silverFine silver is 99.99% silver, and is a beautiful, pure metal. It is softer than sterling silver.

jadeThe term jade is used to describe two different minerals: jadeite and nephrite. Of the two, jadeite is more rare and valuable. Nephrite jade provides a beautiful glowing green color, for a fraction of the cost of jadeite. Additionally, it is rarely treated. All of the jade used in my work is nephrite.
