Description
This statement chain is handmade with solid Argentium Sterling Silver. The links are formed one by one, each individually soldered and formed from 12 gauge silver. This thickness gives the chain such a nice, solid feel! I hand hammer the sterling silver before forming all of the links to give it a very subtle texture all of the way around the links. After polishing the chain to a high reflective shine, this subtle texture adds just a bit of sparkle and dimension. There are three heavy circles which serve as the clasp so you can choose to wear this chain at 16", 17" or 18" for a varitey of different looks. You could even opt to put the toggle in the front to make a Y drop style. I hand stamped the quality hallmark for Argentium Sterling Silver on the toggle which marks the high quality 940 pure silver content and the unicorn Argentium Silver logo. Traditional sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver while this Argentium Sterling Silver is 94% pure silver. This translates into a metal that is brighter white in color and 7 times slower to tarnish so you won't need to polish your chain like you might with sterling silver. Argentium Silver is also hyporallergenic, nickel free and sustainable as it's made from recycled silver. This design really shows off the beauty of this metal with it's nice solid weight, dimensional links with subtle hammered facets and bright, shiny polished finish. I think this style would make such a statement, it's edgy but at the same time a bit glam and classic all at the same time making it really versatile and sure to become a favorite!
