Argentium Sterling Silver or "AS" is sterling
silver as defined as 92.5% silver. In regular sterling silver the
remaining 7.25% is copper, in AS much of the copper has been replaced
with germanium. Since it is the copper in sterling that causes it
to tarnish, AS is highly resistant to tarnish. I think you will
enjoy having silver jewelry that retains its beautiful white color
and bright finish.
