Does lustrium ever fade ?

Answer 1

he three metal choices offered for the Academy ring are:

1. Silver Lustrium - A non-precious metal alloy that is silver in color. It is a hard metal and fairly durable, but does not have the same value and characteristics as gold and platinum. Lustrium will react to oxygen and thus may require additional care and cleaning.

2. Gold Lustrium - A non-precious metal alloy that is gold in color. It is a hard metal and fairly durable, but does not have the same value and characteristics as gold and platinum. Lustrium will react to oxygen and thus may require additional care and cleaning.

3. 10k Gold - 41.7% pure gold, 58.3% metal alloy

Each ring, handcrafted by Jostens in the USA, is approximately 24 pennyweight. Additional charge for special shipping with insurance is applied at checkout. Please allow 8-10 weeks for delivery.

Please provide the required personalized information for your ring, including your assigned student number, cage group letter, first or last name for side (12 char. limit), year of graduation and ring size.

Answer 2

Nothing lasts forever, but lustrium will maintain its "luster" much better than most as it is not as easily oxidized.

Here is an excerpt from a catalog:

1. Silver Lustrium - A non-precious metal alloy that is silver in color. It is a hard metal and fairly durable, but does not have the same value and characteristics as gold and platinum. Lustrium will react to oxygen and thus may require additional care and cleaning.

2. Gold Lustrium - A non-precious metal alloy that is gold in color. It is a hard metal and fairly durable, but does not have the same value and characteristics as gold and platinum. Lustrium will react to oxygen and thus may require additional care and cleaning.
