Frequently Bought Together:

This unprecedented, patented material is redefining the jewelry  industry. Argentium sterling silver has dramatically better tarnish  resistance than standard sterling silver and is much more durable.  While it still contains the 92.5% fine silver legally required for  sterling, Argentium replaces about 1% of the normal copper content  in sterling with germanium, significantly altering the alloy's  properties.   Benefits of Argentium® Sterling  Silver      Tarnish resistant: A light dusting or  occasional wipe with a soft cloth is all you need to keep its  shine. The resistance actually increases over time (the germanium  atoms migrate to the surface, which allows the protective germanium  oxide layer to regenerate).    Resistant to dents, scratches and  abrasion.    Better for the environment because it doesn't  develop firescale (a reddish patina) when heated, which eliminates  processes that use hazardous materials needed to strip firescale  from standard sterling materials.    Laser weldable, opening new design  possibilities.    Can be hardened (through thermal conditioning)  to be almost twice as tough as standard sterling.

     Basic Loops         The loop size will depend on how much wire you leave past the  end of your beads, and around which part of your pliers you bend  the loop. A good loop size is usually about 1/3 of the way from the  tip of your pliers, with about 8mm of wire.    Use round needle-nose pliers.    If using an eye pin, decide which way you want the loop to go -  the same direction as the premade loop on the other end, or  90º off. Keep this direction in mind as you bend the rest of  the wire.    Cut off any excess wire (we suggest retaining 8mm above the top  of your beads).    Grip the pin just above the top bead (at the arrow above), and  bend the wire sharply toward you.    Grasp the tip of the wire with pliers, and bend smoothly away  from you, around the pliers.               Wrapped Loops       Use chain-nose pliers to grasp the wire just above the top of  the bead.    Use your fingers to bend the wire sharply over the top of the  pliers, at a 90° angle. You should have 2-3mm of straight wire  between the bead and the bend.    Use round-nose pliers to grasp a spot just above the bend, and  use your fingers to smoothly bend the wire all the way around the  tip of the pliers.    Now use pliers to grasp the wire firmly across the loop. Use  your fingers or chain-nose pliers to carefully wrap the wire around  the stem. For best control, experts recommend you break this step  into a series of half wraps.    Trim excess with flush cutters.
