    Hello all, i have noticed several discussions on Argentuim
    silver....which I know nothing about.  i have always used ss, but it
    sounds like argentium may be better for keeping a non-oxidized look.
    From what i understand the peice stays "fresh".....is this correct?
    Is Argentium as popular as sterling?  Should I switch over?  i
    guess I am asking what the benefits are. 

Thanks!
