Titanium Earrings - Handmade titanium jewelry

Before we talk about titanium earrings, it is very important to know more about titanium, its applications, and its properties.

Titanium is a transition metal, as hard as steel, but much lighter, and very resistant to corrosion. It does not oxidize, therefore it can be worn in any environment without worrying that it will have to be cleaned later. It is also one of the most biocompatible metals, being used in the manufacture of surgical utensils, and dental and orthopedic implants. In recent years, due to its resistance and hypoallergenic properties, it began to be used in making jewelry and especially piercings.

How many types of titanium are there?

To differentiate the types of titanium, it is classified by grades.

There are 38 titanium grades. Grade 1, 2, 3, and 4 titanium do not contain alloys, but only a very small amount of interstitial elements (impurities), which determine the hardness of each grade.

Grade 1 titanium is the purest, most malleable, and contains the least amount of impurities. It is the most hypoallergenic grade of titanium, the most biocompatible, and is ideal for making handmade jewelry.

Starting with titanium grade 5 to 38, it is combined with various alloys, usually in number two, the most common being aluminum. They have various applications, from orthopedic implants and jewelry to airplanes and yachts. Read more about titanium on Wikipedia.

Which titanium grade is used in titanium earrings?

Although the titanium grade is very important, most sellers do not specify what kind of titanium their products are made of. That’s why there are cases of people who are allergic to titanium: most likely they bought a product that contains alloys that cause allergic reactions. Titanium jewelry that has not specified the grade can be made of the following titanium grades: – Grade 5 (Ti6Al4V): 89.55% titanium, 6% aluminum, 4% vanadium, maximum 0.25% steel, maximum 0.2% oxygen; – Grade 23 (Ti-6Al-4V-ELI): 89.87% titanium, 6% aluminum, 4% vanadium, maximum 0.13% oxygen. ELI is short for “extra low interstitial” (very few interstitial elements) You can find more information about titanium alloy on Wikipedia.
