    I've just started using it and so far, I love it! I didn't care for
    Argentium that much because I didn't like the way it would crumble
    if overheated (yes, my fault, but I'm an impatient solderer), I hate
    working with white gold because it is so very unyielding and brittle.
    Sterling tarnishes, but sometimes that's okay. This seems as
    malleable as sterling, inhibits tarnish and sounds good, too. Much
    more expensive thatn sterling, far less than gold...a very nice
    compromise where a white metal is called for.
