Titanium is the metal of choice! It is strong, clean and will never rust or tarnish. It is perfect for jewelry purposes because it will not turn skin green or black, and is in fact best for people with metal sensitivities! It is not the easiest material to bend and manipulate, but in the smaller jewelry sizes it is not overly difficult to work with.

Titanium has a strong “spring back” tendency which means the rings will be slightly larger than the rings of the same size in soft metals like silver or copper. Please remember that ring sizes correspond with the size of the mandrel that they were wound on, not the exact inner diameter of the jump ring.

Currently we are only offering Titanium rings that are snip, rather than saw cut. When Titanium rings are saw cut, they are very difficult to push together to make a clean closure, due to the strength of the material (spring back). We have also noticed a tendency for the rings to spread open again after they were closed tightly. The snip cut on our Titanium jump rings is not perfectly flush, but it is a nice snip cut that is very easy to work with.

Titanium is very strong and light, and because it is a reactive metal it can be anodized into a whole range of colours using an electrical anodizing process. However, it is difficult to control this colouring process, which makes for an amazing mix of colours, but which also makes it tricky to duplicate exact colours. Also, the colour of the rings may even vary in one batch of anodizing, so please keep this in mind when ordering.

If you want a batch of rings as close to the same colour as possible, please order all of your anodized Titanium rings at once, because 2 months down the road we may not have the exact same shade of colour.

The length of time the colour will last is dependant on body chemistry and amount of time worn. Some people find the colour fades quickly with wear, while some people find they have a full year of daily wear with little fading. The oils from your skin can also affect the colour, so washing anodized Titanium jewelry with hot soapy water can restore the colour.

Our supplier for Titanium wire buys Aerospace surplus, which offers a better price for a higher quality material. However, this means that each spool of wire will vary from one to the next. Some are super hard, some much softer, some anodize wonderfully and some won't anodize at all.

We do our best to buy a large amount at a time, but we can not be certain when our supplier will change alloys on our wire supply. Because of this, we highly recommend you buy all the rings you need for one project at the same time. This will ensure that all the rings in your order are uniform.

Please Note: Each different gauge of Titanium is a different alloy and each alloy anodizes differently, so please expect colour variances between different ring gauges.
