Materials & Finishes

IGNIS ARGENTUM uses different materials and finishes across its catalog. The product title, description and variant selector identify the exact option available for each piece.

925 Sterling Silver

When a product is labeled 925 Sterling Silver, it is made from an alloy containing 92.5% silver. Sterling silver can develop natural patina with wear and time; it can be gently polished according to the care needs of the piece.

Nickel Silver

Nickel Silver is a durable copper alloy containing nickel and zinc. Despite its name, it is not sterling silver. It is selected on certain pieces for its color, strength and substantial hand-feel.

Silver Finish or Silver-Plated

When a listing says Silver Finish or Silver-Plated, it describes a surface finish rather than a solid 925 Sterling Silver body. Refer to the individual product page for its exact construction and available options.

Gold and Other Precious-Metal Options

18K, 24K or other precious-metal choices are offered only where they are specifically listed on the product page or confirmed through a custom commission.

Personalization

Depending on the design, personalization may include a name, initials, date, short message or custom artwork. If you are unsure which material or finish suits your idea, contact us before ordering.
