チタンの魅力とはじまり

Are you familiar with the material called "titanium"?

From the aerospace industry to everyday items like eyeglass frames, mugs, and outdoor gear.
Although many have heard of the name, not many know its true nature.

Titanium / Titanium is

A metal represented by the element symbol [Ti].


It was given its name in 1795.
German scientist Martin Heinrich Klaproth named it after the Titans, giant gods of Greek mythology.

However, it was thought for a long time that it was impossible to extract pure titanium, and it was not until 1910, about 100 years later, that metallic titanium with a purity of 99.9% was extracted for the first time.
Titanium, which emerged in this way, possessed a hidden charm not found in other metals.

A metal that is both light and strong

The great appeal of titanium is its lightness
The moment they pick it up, many people are surprised at how light it is.
Despite its heavy appearance, it is actually very light.
Its weight is about 60% of that of iron or stainless steel.
It is so comfortable that you will forget it is there and it will not burden you even if you wear it for a long time.


Corrosion resistance that maintains unchanging beauty

Another attractive feature of titanium is its corrosion resistance.
Titanium is much more resistant to rust than iron or copper.
It can withstand harsh environments such as seawater and sweat.
Sweaty summer days, sports and outdoor activities
No matter how active you are, titanium will retain its beauty.
It is also semi-permanently resistant to deterioration and highly recyclable.


Biocompatible to match your body

Titanium is also highly biocompatible.
Titanium is not easily recognized as a foreign substance by the body and easily binds to bones and tissues.
Due to these properties, it is widely used in the medical field, such as in artificial bones and implants.
In addition, metal ions, which are considered to be the main cause of metal allergies,
The oxide film on the surface of titanium prevents leaching and is less likely to cause metal allergies.
In other words, titanium is a rare material that is scientifically stable and can coexist with the human body.

Value created by the challenges of craftsmen

But titanium is not an easy metal.
Because of its high strength, advanced technology and experience are essential for processing.
Wisdom, skill, and passion are poured into each piece of work.
That is why titanium products bear a "trajectory of challenge."

Light, strong, rust-resistant, and gentle on the body.
"Metals selected to harmonize with the body"
Everyone had given up because of the difficulty of processing, but we decided to take on the challenge.


As if breaking into the unknown, we are taking titanium to a new stage known as "jewelry."
Titanium is a new option.


Titanium is now becoming a part of jewelry.
