Hey there, jewelry enthusiasts! Are you ready to elevate your piercing game with a splash of color and a touch of elegance? Let’s dive into the world of anodized body jewelry – a must-have for anyone who values both safety and style.
Why Anodized Jewelry is Perfect for You
When it comes to body jewelry, safety is paramount. Anodizing, an electrochemical process, transforms metals like titanium and niobium into durable, hypoallergenic pieces that are perfect for sensitive skin. This means you can enjoy your favorite piercings without worrying about irritation or allergic reactions. Plus, anodized jewelry is incredibly resistant to wear and tear, ensuring long-lasting beauty.
ASTM Standards for Your Peace of Mind
We know you care about quality, and so do we. That’s why our anodized jewelry meets the rigorous ASTM standards (ASTM F136 and ASTM F1295), ensuring that every piece is safe for your body. These standards are your assurance of quality and safety, making anodized jewelry a smart choice for your next piercing.
Anodizing is a surface treatment process that enhances the corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of metal implants, particularly those made from titanium and its alloys. The ASTM standard that provides guidelines for anodizing titanium for medical implants is ASTM F86. Here's a brief overview:
ASTM F86: This standard outlines the recommended practices for surface preparation and marking of metallic surgical implants. It includes guidelines for cleaning, passivation, and anodizing processes.
Anodizing Process: Anodizing involves an electrochemical process that thickens the natural oxide layer on the surface of titanium implants. This layer improves corrosion resistance and can enhance the implant's appearance and color, which is sometimes used for identification purposes.
Benefits for Implants: Anodized surfaces are generally more resistant to wear and corrosion. The process can also improve the osseointegration of implants, which is the direct structural and functional connection between living bone and the surface of a load-bearing artificial implant.
Biocompatibility: The anodized layer is biocompatible, meaning it is safe for use in the body and does not provoke an immune response.
Testing and Verification: ASTM standards include tests to ensure that the anodizing process is effective and that the treated implants meet necessary safety and performance criteria.
These guidelines are crucial for ensuring that anodized implants are safe and effective for use in medical applications. Now apply this concept to jewelry and there you have it.
A Spectrum of Stunning Colors
Anodizing offers a dazzling array of colors that are sure to capture your imagination. From soft pastels to bold, vibrant hues, the color possibilities are endless. The best part? These colors are not painted or plated but are created through the anodizing process itself, meaning they won’t chip or fade over time.
Let's keep in mind that the green color spectrum is incredibly difficult to achieve and black niobium can only be achieved through heat treatment, not anodizing.
And unfortunately red isn't much of an option for safe metal body jewelry.
Sorry, folks.
