Argentium sterling silver jewelry can be cared for very easily. Argentium sterling silver does not tarnish as easily as standard sterling silver; however it can tarnish. To clean your Argentium sterling silver ring you can simply wash it in warm water mixed with a few drops of mild dishwasing soap. You do not want to use hot water as it can discolor the silver. If that doesn’t remove the tarnish you can use a cotton swab or cloth to rub the areas that still have tarnish.

If you are not wearing your Argentium sterling silver ring daily you might consider storing it in a plastic zip lock bag, squeezing out as much air from the bag as you can before zipping it shut. This will help stop any potential tarnishing. Make sure your ring is completely dry before putting it in the zip lock bag.

If you take your ring to a jeweler for them to polish it, please make sure that they use a separate polishing wheel for Argentium Silver rings to avoid contamination from other alloys in the workshop.

The Benchmark Difference

You have plenty of options when you're searching for wedding bands, so why Benchmark? Benchmark began more than 40 years ago with one goal in mind: to become wedding ring specialists. Every thing is based on the desire to provide the highest quality product.

The Right Fit

A Benchmark band is engineered for comfort. They were the first to introduce the "Comfort Fit" design to the United States. The design allows for a better fit since the inside of the ring is curved so that it doesn't cut into your finger during wear. They still apply that same commitment to innovation and customer care to everything they do today.

The Perfection of Precision Setting

Benchmark is one of the few manufacturers to master the technology behind precision-setting. Their process allows as much of the diamond's surface to be displayed while also providing superior security for the stones. Hand-set diamonds are often inconsistently secured and have an uneven surface. Benchmark bands are engineered for perfection. Our customers have come to expect the best, and we take pride in delivering it every day with benchmarks ayyention to craftsmanship.
