This course is designed for the aspiring Argentium Silversmith who has no jewelry training — or is a seasoned jeweler, but looking to get back to basics, and re-learn their jewelry craft from the unique perspective of what Argentium Silver is capable of.

Argentium Silver is fusible, fire-scale free, tarnish resistant, work hardens more slowly than traditional sterling, is purer and whiter than traditional sterling, and can be heat hardened in a kiln or oven. These unique properties make Argentium Silver ideal for jewelry creation.

In this introductory course, learn the basics of Argentium Silver forging, in creating these Forged Minimalist Earrings — a project that improves finesse and skill.
