Application of Niobium in Body Piercing Jewelry
1. Advantages of Material Properties
✔ Excellent biocompatibility: Niobium is highly compatible with human tissues and hardly causes allergic or rejection reactions (good news for people with nickel allergies!).
✔ Strong corrosion resistance: Stable in body fluids, not easy to oxidize or rust, and maintains luster after long-term wear.
✔ Lightweight and flexible: Lighter than stainless steel, suitable for making fine piercing jewelry such as earrings and nose rings.
✔ Color diversity: Through anodizing treatment, it can present unique electroplating effects such as rainbow colors, blue-purple, and golden yellow to meet personalized needs.
2. Common types of piercing jewelry
Ear studs/earrings: Hypoallergenic, suitable for the healing period of newly pierced holes.
Nose rings/lip rings: Flexibility reduces friction on soft tissues.
Navel studs/tongue studs: Resistant to chemical rust in body fluids, safe for long-term wear.
Implant-grade jewelry: Niobium or titanium is commonly used in high-end piercing jewelry (such as cartilage studs).
3. Why choose niobium over other metals?
VS stainless steel: nickel-free, avoids allergy risk.
VS titanium: richer colors, more cost-effective.
VS silver/gold: more resistant to sweat corrosion, low maintenance cost.
