Introduction

Introduction

Titanium Steel_X is a premium alloy that fuses the corrosion resistance and strength of titanium with the workability of stainless steel. The result is a bead with a distinctive gunmetal-gray hue, exceptional hardness, and a smooth, hypoallergenic surface. Perfect for those who value both form and function, these beads maintain their cool, matte-like appearance with minimal upkeep.

Titanium Steel_X is formed by alloying titanium with chromium, nickel, and other elements under high-temperature vacuum conditions. This process creates a uniform, dense microstructure that resists scratching and tarnishing. The beads are precision-cut and polished to achieve a consistent, satin finish that highlights the metal's natural depth.
