These post earrings feature dark blue sapphires dangling from hammered discs of argentium sterling silver. Tiny spheres of 24 karat gold sit at the top of the silver discs.
I use only argentium sterling silver for my ear wires and the other silver elements in my jewelry. Argentium sterling silver is a hypoallergenic alloy of silver. It contains more pure silver than ordinary sterling (93.5% or 94%, vs. a minimum of 92% for other sterling). It contains no nickel. It is very durable, and unlike ordinary sterling silver, it is tarnish-resistant.
