Description
What is niobium?
Niobium is a nickel-free inert metal. It is very resistant to corrosion and other reactions, and is used in medical implants. Niobium is not plated or painted, so will not flake or chip. It is anodized, meaning it is colored by dipping it into an electrically charged "bath." Because it contains no nickel, lead, or other additives, most people with metal allergies can safely wear niobium.Niobium Colors will vary: Colors from different batches, especially teal, may not exactly match. Teal ear wires and teal jump rings will look nice together, but are almost guaranteed to be different shades.

Tierra Cast French Hook Ear Wires, Niobium
I'm new to all this. I'm not making earrings, though, so much as going through all my old pairs, which have made my ears break out. So I ordered just a few of these and used them on some old earrings I love--wow! NO NASTY GUNK in the piercings, and I can wear some old pairs again! Will be ordering more, for sure. Thanks!
