Stunning green Verdite stones hang on sleek, hammered Argentium - The Finest Sterling Silver. I form the wire into a dangle style earring, gently curving it around a wooden circular mold, then hammer its end for a sleek, modern look.
Verdite has a vivid green color that often gets mistaken with Jade. However, Verdite is more irregular in its finish, and sometimes appears naturally with yellow, blue-green, brown and even in a swirling pattern. Verdite gets its vivid color from chromium, the same mineral that gives Emeralds their green hue!
Since it was first located in Zimbabwe, Verdite has been associated with fertility. The stone has many metaphysical values, and is believed to bring one stability in their life.
Argentium® – The Finest Silver - is a purer version of Sterling Silver that is also highly tarnish resistant. Standard "Sterling Silver" is an alloy composed of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. Thus, you see "925 Sterling Silver".
Argentium® is made with 93.5% silver and 6.5% other metals, including germanium and copper, which gives Argentium® additional beneficial properties for jewelry makers. For my jewelry, the biggest benefit of using Argentium® instead of regular Sterling Silver is that it is much more tarnish resistant.
In addition, Argentium® is responsibly manufactured, ethically sourced, and certified to be made with 100% recycled silver.
Unlike many other shops, I charge no additional fees for all USA mailing locations including Hawaii, Alaska, US Territories and military APO/FPO/DPO addresses.
