GRADE 1 TITANIUM VS. GRADE 2 TITANIUM
Grade 1 Titanium WIRE AND Grade 2 MACHINE MILLED Titanium

OTHER THAN HARDNESS, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE between Grades 1 & 2 Titanium
Titanium is available in commercially pure grades and titanium alloy grades. The commercially pure grades are grades 1 through 4. Medical grade titanium commonly used for earrings are grades 5 & 23.
Grade 1 titanium is the least hard of the 4 pure grades and responds to the forming and shaping of wire and sheet metal with hand tools, which allows for the range of skill levels seen in handmade titanium jewelry.
Grade 2 titanium earrings are machine milled from harder titanium bar and will stand up to more abuse.

I DESIGN AND CRAFT ALL GRADE 1 PURE TITANIUM EARRINGS and have used the same reliable source for materials since 2008.
MACHINE MILLED GRADE 2 PURE TITANIUM EARRINGS are made in the USA Grade 2 PURE TITANIUM earrings are becoming harder to find. If it is marketed as "Pure Titanium" and does not say Grade 2...it probably is alloyed. |
