What is Continuum Sterling Silver?

In the world of fine jewelry and luxury metals, silver has long held a place of timeless elegance. However, as design demands grow more rigorous and consumers seek longer-lasting, high-performing pieces, innovation in metallurgy has delivered an exciting solution: Continuum Sterling Silver.

What is Continuum Sterling Silver?

Continuum Sterling Silver is a patented, proprietary silver alloy developed by Stuller Inc., designed to outperform traditional sterling silver in both beauty and durability. While it retains the hallmark brightness and luster that makes silver so beloved, Continuum goes several steps further in terms of strength, tarnish resistance, and versatility.

Why should I choose Continuum? 

What sets Continuum apart is its unique alloy formulation. It contains a higher percentage of precious metals (over 95%) than standard sterling silver (92.5%), and incorporates elements like palladium—a noble metal from the platinum family—to dramatically improve performance without compromising on workability. This also gives it a brilliant, icy shine similar to that of white gold and platinum. 

In essence, Continuum performs more like 14k gold than it does common sterling, making it more fit for luxury pieces that stay within a lower budget.
