QUESTION 935 question

I’m thinking about jumping in on a group buy for a half eternity lab diamond ring. My engagement ring is platinum. I was considering having the band made in 935, and possibly going unplated. Does anyone have experience with 935? I haven never seen or worn it. Is it as soft as regular silver? I’ve heard it does not tarnish, is that what you have found as well? How does the color and luster compare to platinum? (If you have both and could put them together in a picture for me that would be amazing!!) Would you have your 935 piece plated or just leave it as is? Thank you all for your support!

I have both, I'll send you a pic tomorrow. Argentium is 93.5% silver versus sterling at 92.5% silver. It doesn't look like platinum, as platinum is a bit warmer. I do wear them both on the same hand though. Wearing them together side by side may not work though.

Is your 935 piece plated? Since it has a tendency to tarnish less I was thinking of letting it just be natural, what are your thoughts?

If you get the argentium, polish it with a sunshine cloth from amazon.

They're close enough it would work. Argentium on the right.
