Titanium Information



What is titanium?
Titanium is a natural element which has a silver-greyish-white colour. Titanium is one of the hardest natural metals in the world. It is stronger than steel and much stronger than gold, silver and platinum and yet is very light weight (45% lighter than steel!). Polished titanium is very similar to platinum in lustre and appearance, and just needs to be repolished to retain its original shine.  

Why choose titanium?
Titanium provides several unique factors that make it the ideal metal for jewellery. It is very strong, more dent, bend and scratch resistant than gold, silver and platinum, and is very lightweight. Titanium is also the only metal used in jewellery today that can be guaranteed not to produce skin irritation, our titanium is 100% hypoallergenic and will not produce skin irritation or discoloration.

Is titanium hypoallergenic?

Pure titanium is 100% hypoallergenic and allergy free and will not produce skin irritation or discoloration. Titanium does not react to sunlight, salt water, chlorine or anything that the body emits. This is why we only offer pure titanium to our clients. We do not use other metal alloys with our titanium to ensure only the purest and safest titanium is used in our jewellery. We use pure titanium with confidence knowing that anyone can wear it without the concern of an adverse reaction to your body.

 Did you know...?

Most Titanium comes from a mineral called Rutile, the majority of which comes from Australian beaches? Australia actually produces 55% of the world's naturally mined Rutile.

Titanium is as strong as steel, but only weighs 56% as much. It has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal.

Titanium forms a hard protective oxide film when it comes into contact with any oxygen (including both air and water based oxygen). If the film is scratched or damaged, so long as oxygen is present, the titanium will "heal" itself.

Titanium is the most biocompatible metal in existence, it does not react to anything the body emits, and is the "healthiest" metal you can wear.

Because titanium comes from sand, mining it has very little environmental impact. Additionally, no harmful by-products are generated in its production and 95% of its scrap is recycled. This makes it the most environmentally friendly metal.

The moon has a very high titanium content.
