Titanium Jewelry

FAQ Section

Why choose titanium jewelry?

In addition to looking good, titanium body jewelry is lightweight, water-resistant, comfortable, and affordable. This versatile material is the perfect balance of strong and stylish.

What grade of titanium do you use?

Spencer’s offers body jewelry in ASTM F-136 titanium and G23 titanium. Both types are considered high-quality titanium.

Is titanium hypoallergenic?

Only some titanium is hypoallergenic. ASTM F-136 titanium is generally 100% nickel-free; nickel is the most common cause of metal allergies. Hypoallergenic jewelry can help prevent rashes, itching, and skin discoloration.

What is ASTM F-136 titanium?

ASTM F-136 titanium is designed specifically for surgical implants. It is superior in purity and biocompatibility. ASTM F-136 titanium is almost always nickel-free.

What is G23 titanium?

G23 titanium is a high-quality grade of titanium that may contain trace amounts of nickel.

Does titanium jewelry tarnish?

Titanium jewelry is highly resistant to corrosion and tarnishing. Although it is not entirely scratch-proof, it is also highly resistant to scratching and discoloration.

Does titanium jewelry contain nickel?

ASTM F-136 titanium is generally 100% nickel-free. G23 titanium, while excellent quality, may contain trace amounts of nickel.

Is titanium body jewelry heavy?

One of the features that make titanium jewelry so popular is its lightness. Because titanium is so lightweight, it’s comfortable for all-day wear.

Can you swim or shower with titanium jewelry?

Yes, you can swim, shower, exercise, and move with peace of mind while wearing titanium jewelry. It is highly resistant to breakdown, rust, and tarnishing, even when exposed to water.

How do you clean titanium jewelry?

To clean titanium body jewelry, simply rinse it in warm water and use antibacterial soap to remove residue.

Does titanium jewelry come in different colors?

Yes, titanium jewelry can be plated with a different metal to alter its color. It can also be anodized to create vibrant colors without the use of plating, paints, or dyes. Anodization is the process of using electricity to change the surface color of certain metals like titanium.

Is titanium jewelry a good choice for fresh piercings?

Yes, titanium is a good choice for new piercings. Because it is lightweight, nickel-free (specifically ASTM F-136 titanium), and biocompatible (meaning it is rarely rejected by the body), titanium jewelry facilitates a safe healing process.
