The Art of Anodizing: The Science Behind Colorful Titanium and Niobium Jewelry
If you’ve ever admired the colorful hues of titanium or niobium jewelry, you’ve seen anodization in action! Unlike paint or coatings, anodization is an electrochemical process that changes the color of metal without adding anything to the surface. Instead, it alters the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the jewelry, affecting how light interacts with it—kind of like how an oil slick or soap bubble creates shifting colors.

Body Piercing As Self-Expression
As humans, our diverse interests, unique aesthetics, and cultural values are often reflected in how we present ourselves to the world. For centuries, many cultures have used make-up, tattoos, and body piercings as vehicles of meaning, status, and identification. Studies indicate that the concept of body decoration has existed even longer than the habit of wearing clothing.
