niobium jewelry wireNIOBIUM ~ 99.9% Niobium is a naturally occurring element from the periodic table. Niobium is extremely hypoallergenic, unlike common color coated copper wires or nickel. It is more rare and precious than gold, and commonly used in the electronics and space industries. You probably already own some in your cell phone or computer. Niobium is electrically oxidized to create brilliant colors that are long lasting, as long as the oxidation is not rubbed off from harsh abrasives (polishing). The colors are created by the reflection off the layer of thickness of oxidation. Titanium compares to niobium as copper compares to silver in value. Niobium dulled from dust and oils can be brought back to vibrance with a gentle non- abrasive soap and dried with a soft cloth. The color is very durable, so long as the oxidization is not scratched off by abrasives.
