Saw Cut 18 gauge 1/8" inner diameter Anodized Titanium Jump Rings.

Titanium is an amazing metal.  It is light weight, Super strong, and Hypoallergenic.  It is a reactive metal, and colours with heat or electricity.  This is not a paint or a dye - but the outside layer oxidization of the metal when we electrocute it! It is hypoallergenic, so people with metal allergies can wear this metal.  This metal is the ONLY metal we hand cut, rather than saw cut.  Saw Cut titanium is VERY hard to work with.  The spring back causes the metal to relax after it's been closed... causing your perfect closures to reopen... we find that if the rings are hand cut with flush cutters, the closure isn't as perfect as saw cut, but it stays closed!!  We DO NOT RECOMMEND titanium as a beginner material.  It is VERY hard to manipulate and bend and is not a beginner friendly material choice!  Titanium will actually spark on occasion when you push the two ends of a ring together!

WE ARE NOW SAW CUTTING 18 Gauge RINGS!  We have switched our titanium to Grade 2 - which is softer, and no longer spreads opens once closed.  It's MUCH easier to bend - it is very similar to our Stainless Steel rings. It also colours BEAUTIFULLY, so possibilities are endless!

We have noticed that in some sizes of Anodized Titanium that the colour can alter a little with you bend the rings open and closed.  The colour appears to fade on the area of the ring that bends.  We are told this happens because the colour is a surface area coverage, and bending the wire is changing that surface area.  It's best if you don't over open the anodized rings.
