Forming and decorative techniques

Ductility is an important property in any alloy that is required

to be shaped and formed by operations including spinning,

stamping, raising, drawing and hammering.

Argentium 960-Pure has greater ductility than traditional sterling

silver - this means that the metal can be worked longer and

further between each annealing, thus decreasing manufacturing

time and labour.

Hardness and durability are not compromised by the ductile

properties.

Argentium 960-Pure has very good machining and engraving

properties. Unlike traditional sterling, Argentium is not 'sticky'

and will cut cleanly with a bright, sharp finish.

Argentium 960-Pure's fusing properties enable techniques such

as granulation and Keum-Boo to be applied.

Instruction DVDs by Ronda Coryell are available to purchase.

Each DVD beautifully demonstrates how to carry out different

processes with Argentium, including fusing and granulation

techniques. Please visit rondacoryell.com or riogrande.com for

further information.

A dark, rich patina can be achieved with patinating solutions

including liver of sulphur.

The process takes a little longer than with traditional sterling

silver due to the tarnish resistant properties of Argentium.
