Today, I had to prepare some silver pieces for an exhibition.\u00a0 As I pulled the older pieces, which had been made with traditional sterling silver, out of their anti-tarnish bags, and saw the streaks of tarnish, I groaned.\u00a0 The newer pieces, made of Argentium Sterling, only needed a few swipes with a Goddard’s cloth to brighten the shine.\u00a0 The Argentium Silver pieces weren’t tarnished—they just were not gleaming.\u00a0 Several hours later, after going over the older pieces with cleaning compounds, and then waxing them so that they’ll stay good-looking during the exhibition, I felt that I had definitely experienced the difference between these two sterling silver alloys.\u00a0 Vive Argentium Silver!<\/p>\n

Below are images of some of the work.\u00a0 The silver pieces\u00a0 will be in an exhibition at the Cahoon Museum, in Cotuit, MA. http:\/\/www.cahoonmuseum.org\/<\/p>\n

I’ll be giving a talk about the work at 11am, October 17, 2009.<\/p>\n
