Nickel-free and loving it!

July 6, 2010

What’s the wire that’s…

  • nickel-free,
  • inert metal,
  • made into jewelry components,
  • and actually exists?

99.9% pure niobium!

Did you know?

Niobium is safe for most people with metal allergies. It’s very resistant to corrosion and other reactions–so much so that it’s used in medical implants.

(Did you also know?)

Niobium findings are gentle on your skin, but we wouldn’t call them “hypoallergenic“. Why? It’s a great marketing term, but has never been turned into an industry standard.

We think the health benefits and durable colors of niobium jewelry parts speak for themselves!

So if anyone’s ears are burning from all the talk about niobium ear wires (and more), it ought to be ours–not yours!

    I also love the bright colors that the wire comes in. I will have to remember this the next time I place an order with Rings & Things. Thanks, Dave!
    Enjoy the day!
