Amy's accessories now luxuriously tarnish-resistant

Our designs are now made with Argentium sterling silver wire and available Argentium silver findings* in place of standard sterling silver. This new more costly silver is virtually tarnish-free and will keep its shine for months and even years without the need for polishing. Argentium silver can be wiped clean with a cloth, and even cleaned with soap and water! It is more durable, and environmentally friendly, and now available at Amy's.

For more information about Argentium, go to www.argentiumsilver.com.

*Because this metal is so new, only some components are available. All of our wire, headpins, french ear wires and jump rings are available in Argentium. All other silver components will be sterling silver.

HOW LONG WILL YOUR SILVER SHINE?

There are a lot of bridal jewelry options these days. But what are you really getting when you purchase that discount piece? At Amy's, we take pride in our designs and quality. And while any bridal jewelry company can say the same, we've yet to find one that offers the same quality materials that we do.

How about your silver?

Most companies use silver plated metal, which results in a very inexpensive piece of jewelry. But did you know that silver plated metal cannot be polished? This means that once it tarnishes (and quickly!) it cannot be restored. You are then left with a tarnished piece of jewelry that has lost it's beauty.

And what about sterling silver bridal jewelry? When left in open air, sterling silver will tarnish quickly. Multiple polishings may be required and can damage genuine pearls. Who needs the hassle?

At Amy's, we use the new, amazingly tarnish-resistant Argentium sterling silver in our bridal jewelry, headpieces and hairpins! The result is a longer-lasting, more beautiful piece of valuable bridal jewelry. Does Argentium cost more? Of course. But the cost is less than rhodium (another tarnish-resister) and just as beautiful.

It just goes to prove the saying: "You get what you pay for!"
