Titanium is a lustrous, silver grey metallic element. It is very light but has the strength of steel. It is used to create protective surface layers, which gives good resistance to caustic attacks by saltwater, sea air and certain acids. It is even able to be submerged in water for long periods of time without being damaged.

It has been discovered by a British mineralogist in 1791.It has been named "Titanium" by a German scientist who has been inspired by the Titans of Greek mythology; they used to symbolised extreme power and strength.

Titanium hasn't be used until the twentieth century as the technology of separating it from its compounded material wasn't found. As soon as it has been discovered, Titanium became really popular in the aerospace, medical and construction industries. Titanium also joined gold, silver and platinum to be one of the Noble metals.

In the 80's, jewellery pieces started to be created and it has been detected that titanium is very compatible with the human body so titanium earrings suddenly became a "must" for people with sensitive skin. Also, after an experiment made in Japan it appears that Titanium would increase blood circulation.

As any other piece of jewellery, your titanium earrings will require special care. To avoid rubbing, they will need to be taken off at night and store separately in their original velvet pouch. When they require cleaning, use a soft cloth and they should last you forever.
