Although gold has been the traditional precious metal that is exchanged at weddings, some couples prefer to exchange a silver wedding band. Silver is a great alternative to gold because it is very durable, friendlier to sensitive skin, and less expensive. Pure silver is not strong enough to maintain it's shape for long. That's why, silver is mixed with other metals to create strength and durability. When shopping for sterling silver, be sure you check the label and guarantee that it is 92.5% silver. Often times, other metals such as nickel are covered in a thin layer of silver to cut costs. Although it may look like genuine sterling silver, the silver plating comes off and must be replaced every couple of years.

We also carry premium silver rings from the brand, Benchmark, called Argo Collection, made of Argentium Silver. Check out the Benchmark's silver ring collection.
