NIOBIUM is a very rare, pure metal which is one of the natural elements on the periodic table {#41}. Titanium and Tantalum are other metals that are similar to Niobium, all are in general use as jewellery materials.
Niobium is good for people who are allergic or sensitive to other metals. Jewellery made from Titanium and Niobium is widely used for body piercing. Jewellery made of these materials is a good choice for people with known metal sensitivities or allergies, as they do not contain nickel. In addition, Titanium and Niobium can be put through an anodizing process resulting in varying colors of jewelry without the use of toxic inks or dyes.
Niobium’s unique properties include:
- hypoallergenic
- light-refractive
- very strong
- light weight
