Introduction

Introduction

Titanium steel, also known as titanium-coated stainless steel, is a popular material in contemporary jewelry making. It features a dark, gunmetal-like appearance that resists tarnish and corrosion. These beads are lightweight yet strong, making them ideal for everyday wear. The material is hypoallergenic, suitable for sensitive skin, and maintains its color over time without fading.

Titanium steel beads are crafted from high-grade stainless steel that undergoes a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process. In this process, a thin layer of titanium is bonded to the steel surface under high heat and vacuum, creating a durable, scratch-resistant coating. The result is a bead with the strength of steel and the aesthetic of titanium, available in various shapes and finishes.
