Is Argentium sterling quality?

We are often asked whether Argentium Silver can be hallmarked as sterling quality (identified by the 925 hallmark).  The answer is 'yes'.

To explain further, there are two grades of Argentium Silver...
  • Argentium 935 (93.5% silver purity)
  • Argentium 960 (96.0% silver purity)
As both of these alloys each contain a greater silver purity than the required 92.5%, they easily surpass the sterling quality standard.

Argentium 960 also surpasses the British Britannia standard set at 95.8% silver purity.
