argentina = “argentum” = silver!

“Argentina” is derived from the Latin word ‘argentum’, which when translated means silver! It’s no wonder Argentine silver is known as the finest silver mined on earth!

925 Sterling Silver – Silver is a precious metal and much like gold it is too fine (or soft) to be made in its 100% form. To prepare a precious metal for crafting jewelry to last a lifetime, pure silver (999 fineness) is often alloyed with small quantities of copper (7.5%), thus becoming sterling silver. (92.5% or .925). It is the finest quality sterling silver available. (.900 sterling silver is of lesser quality, which is commonly used in machine manufactured silver or plated jewelry)
