Why are Titanium earrings dull and dark?
Standard Titanium VS Bright Silver Titanium
If you're addicted to piercings like us, you'll already know that Titanium is a naturally dark metal with a dull grey appearance compared to the brighter finish of Sterling Silver or White Gold. This means if you're wearing a combination of different metals, your ear stack could look very unaesthetic.
We wanted to create a solution!
What Is Bright Silver Titanium?
Bright Silver Titanium is an exclusive and innovative coating bonded to the surface of standard Titanium, resulting in a bright and durable finish. It is suitable for daily wear without risk of tarnishing or fading and better yet, it's hypoallergenic and nickel free.
Why is Titanium jewellery dull and dark?
Titanium is unquestionably one of the highest quality metals available for your piercing, it just has one slight downside - it's naturally darker than other metals such as Sterling Silver or White Gold. Titanium is a naturally dark metal, while it can be polished to have a brighter surface finish, it still appears darker in comparison to other cool-toned metals.
Does Titanium jewellery turn green?
No, Titanium jewellery will not turn green or tarnish. It is a waterproof metal that can withstand pool and sea water without changing colour so you can wear your earrings worry free. It will stand the test of time!
A note from founder, Natasha
"When curating your ears, the perfect formula is a combination of high quality skin-friendly jewellery and a seamless aesthetic. If you're mixing standard Titanium with Sterling Silver, the Titanium often looks grey and dull in comparison. That's why I created our Bright Silver finish, to transform your look and offer the best of both worlds without compromising on quality."
