Fine Silver

Discover Serendipity Jewelry's fine silver collection — handcrafted pieces made from .999 pure silver by Johanna Rodriguez in her Sydney studio. Fine silver (also called pure silver or argentium silver) is the purest form of silver used in jewellery, containing 99.9% elemental silver with virtually no other metals added. The result is a metal of extraordinary brightness — more reflective and whiter than sterling silver — and a surface that is naturally resistant to tarnish in a way that sterling cannot match.Fine silver (.999) is distinct from sterling silver (92.5% silver) in both appearance and behaviour. Because it contains no copper, fine silver does not oxidise in the same way — it stays bright longer and, when it does tarnish, cleans up effortlessly. The trade-off is softness: fine silver is more malleable than sterling, which makes it ideal for certain handcrafted techniques like PMC (precious metal clay), granulation, and delicate filigree work where the metal needs to be shaped with great precision. Johanna works with fine silver for pieces where the purity and lustre of the metal is central to the design.Fine silver is the most hypoallergenic form of silver available, making it the ideal choice for people with nickel sensitivity or sterling silver allergies. Because it contains no copper and no alloy metals whatsoever, fine silver sits comfortably against even the most reactive skin. It is also the safest choice for carrings, particularly for freshly pierced or sensitive ears. Store fine silver in an airtight bag or a tarnish-resistant pouch between wears.Serendipity's fine silver pieces include delicate earrings, pendant necklaces, and small sculptural forms that showcase the purity and brightness of the metal. Each piece is made in very limited numbers — when it's gone, it's gone. Free standard shipping across Australia on orders over $99.
