What is 940 Argentium Silver and Why Choose It?
Argentium silver is a modern upgrade to traditional sterling silver. With a higher silver content and the inclusion of germanium, 940 Argentium silver offers exceptional tarnish resistance, a brighter, whiter finish, and increased durability. It’s also hypoallergenic and more eco-friendly, making it the preferred choice for both sensitive skin and sustainable jewellery making. With less need for polishing and better longevity, Argentium ensures your jewellery retains its beauty with minimal upkeep.

Frequently Asked Questions
A sterling silver cable or belcher chain - This metal choice matches the colour of the charm to the bracelet for colour cohesion. The link styles of belcher and cables chains are strong, evenly spaced, and usually soldered closed, so they handle the weight of multiple charms, let the charms move freely, and make additions or removals easy over time.
Start with theme that reflects your story or interests - Many collectors pick milestones (travel, birthdays) or visual themes (animals, letters) and balance sizes so the bracelet hangs evenly. Mixing textures and finishes keeps the design interesting while still cohesive.
No, 940 argentium silver charms are not magnetic. Silver won’t stick to a magnet unless the alloy contains significant iron, nickel, or cobalt. Clasps or jump rings made with base-metal springs may attract weakly, but the charm itself will not.
Prices typically range from $10 to $500+ AUD depending on design, weight and craftsmanship. Vintage or artisan, pieces may cost more.
Yes, 940 argentium silver charms are suitable for daily wear, but exposure to water, sweat, and chemicals can cause tarnish. Regular cleaning and storage in anti-tarnish pouches help maintain shine.

Charm bracelets have been popular for centuries and never truly vanish. From Queen Victoria’s gem-set chains to mid-20th-century sweetheart bracelets and today’s personalised stacks, charm jewellery cycles back every decade because storytelling through jewellery never goes out of style.
940 Argentium silver charms are designed for exceptional longevity, often lasting for decades or even a lifetime with proper care. Argentium silver is a modern sterling silver alloy that contains a higher percentage of pure silver (94%) and a small amount of germanium, which sets it apart from traditional 925 sterling silver (which contains copper). This unique composition significantly enhances its durability and tarnish resistance.
While 940 Argentium silver is far more resilient than traditional sterling silver, adopting the habit of removing your charms before showering is the best way to ensure they retain their exceptional brilliance and extended lifespan with minimal effort.
Yes, but rinse them afterwards. Perspiration is mildly acidic, which can leave a film and reduce shine. A quick rinse and gentle dry keeps the polish bright and prevents build-up under stones or inside engravings.
They combine precious metal value with skilled craftsmanship. You’re paying for the intrinsic cost of silver, plus design, finishing, and collectible status / limited availability.
Yes - sales have risen with the personalised jewellery boom. Online searches and social platforms show growing interest, and many big jewellers now run “charm bar” experiences where shoppers curate bracelets in-store or online.
5–9 charms give a balanced look on an average 19 cm chain. Space each charm a link or two apart; too many pieces can tangle, while too few may look sparse. Add in stages so the bracelet remains comfortable as your collection grows.
Use a jump ring, split ring or link lock. For jump rings; open the ring sideways, slip it through the chain link, then close. don't pull jump rings apart front-to-back, as that it distorts the metal. For split rings; these work like mini key chains - feed the charm onto the bracelet like adding a new key to your set. For link locks; use pliers to gently pry open the link lock, feed it through the chain, and use the locking mechanism to permanently attach.
Yes - most charms double as pendants. A standard bail or jump ring slides onto chains up to ~3 mm thick; heavier charms pair well with sturdier curb or rope chains for balance.
Definitely - small charms create interchangeable drops. Hook-style hoops and huggies with a 1–2 mm wire allow you to slide charms on and off, giving instant variety to your earring wardrobe.
Yes - there’s no biblical rule against them. Christian wearers often choose charms like crosses, doves, or verses to express faith; as with any jewellery, the meaning lies in personal intent rather than the object itself.
Measure your wrist and add 2 cm (¾″) for a comfortable drape. Wrap a flexible tape around the wrist bone; a charm bracelet needs extra room for charm bulk and movement, so size up slightly compared with a snug bangle fit.
Most are lost-wax cast, then hand-polished. A wax model is carved or 3-D-printed, encased in plaster, then melted out to form a mould. Molten 940 argentium silver is poured in, the casting is cooled, sprues removed, surfaces filed, polished, and fitted with a jump ring.
