The Color of Titanium
Color
Pure titanium is a cool, silvery white — almost like platinum. Its truest color isn’t painted on. It’s coaxed out of the metal itself with heat.
Heated to somewhere between 570°F and 1,650°F, the surface awakens into living blues, violets and gold — color made of light, not dye.
The heat controls how thick a layer of natural oxide forms on the titanium’s surface — and that thickness is what creates the color. We work with heat instead of electrical anodizing on purpose: the perfectly even tone that electric anodizing produces looks flat and plastic to us. That’s not the kind of color we want on a piece you’ll wear for a lifetime.
Our palette is wide, and every finish is a gradient that leans toward one signature tone. Coaxing color from heat is less a rigid technical process and more like painting with the wind — the result is always touched by a little chance. That’s exactly why no two pieces are ever the same, and why the color you end up with is entirely your own.
