<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 4389507, member: 5833&quot;]Niobium is its own separate element from titanium.&nbsp; It can be treated chemically to change its dull grey to colors.&nbsp; Not sure if it can be colors other than the green, blue &amp; magenta I have seen.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I love it.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t get my ears pierced until I was 40. Even though the starter earrings were gold, my piercings weren&#039;t healing &amp; were getting infected.&nbsp; After putting in some newly bought little niobium earrings &amp; leaving them in overnight, my ears were so much better in the morning &amp; healed quickly with them in place.&nbsp; I soon bought others so have a handful of pairs.&nbsp; The guy who made the first pair stopped using niobium, didn&#039;t like working with the chemical process.</p><p><br /></p><p>Always wonder if the name comes from the mythical Niobe (all tears).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
