(niobium jewelry wire)
- Anodized Niobium
- Anodized niobium is strong, corrosion resistant and hypo-allergenic. The colors are beautifully vibrant. In raw wire form it is a dark silver/grey color.
- Our 18g and 20g niobium has the same strength as 1/2 hard sterling silver. The 22g niobium is slightly more pliable and has the same strength as 1/2 hard fine silver.
- Niobium weighs about the same as most common chainmail materials - its 6% heavier than steel and 22% lighter than sterling silver.
-
- Anodizing niobium creates an oxide layer. The thickness of this layer creates the colors.
- The color may vary from batch to batch slightly, but the alloy we have is pretty consistent so it will not vary a lot.
The anodized layer has appropriate properties for jewelry, but it is not indestructible. It can wear off with rubbing against a harder material - care must be taken with pliers as well.- In order to provide a consistent product we are listing the colors by a number system. The name of the color is for reference only.
