A Quick Note from Stella + Rose
We’ve recently added a new collection of earrings to Stella + Rose, and we wanted to take a moment to share more about the material behind them.
If you’re offering earrings alongside permanent jewelry, material choice matters. It affects how a piece feels, how it wears over time, and how it performs with consistent, everyday use. For this collection, we’ve focused on one material: implant-grade titanium.
What Is Titanium?
Our earrings are made from ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium, selected for comfort, consistency, and everyday wear.
Titanium has a smooth, lightweight feel with a soft, neutral tone. It’s slightly more muted than traditional silver, which gives it a clean, modern appearance that works across a range of styles. This material is commonly used in professional piercing environments, making it a reliable option for both new and healed piercings.
Why We Chose Titanium
When selecting materials for this collection, the focus was on wearability and client comfort. Titanium is well-suited for clients with sensitive ears and for those who plan to wear their earrings continuously. It offers a consistent wearing experience without requiring frequent removal or ongoing maintenance. For permanent jewelry professionals, this makes it a practical addition to your offering, especially for clients looking for something simple, reliable, and easy to wear.
Finish Options: Natural and Gold-Tone
Within the collection, titanium is available in both its natural tone and gold-tone finishes. The natural titanium finish has a soft gray appearance that leans slightly cool, while gold-tone options provide a warmer look for clients who prefer gold styling. Both options maintain the same lightweight feel and are suitable for everyday wear.
Durability and Everyday Wear
Titanium is designed for consistent, long-term wear. It holds up well under typical daily conditions, including exposure to moisture and regular activity. Because of its strength-to-weight ratio, it remains comfortable while still maintaining its structure over time.
Care and Maintenance
Titanium requires minimal upkeep. Basic cleaning as needed is typically enough to maintain its appearance. As with all jewelry, it’s best to avoid unnecessary exposure to harsh chemicals to preserve the finish, especially for gold-tone pieces. For general material care standards, guidance from the Gemological Institute of America can be referenced.
Final Notes
This collection was built around simplicity, comfort, and consistency. Titanium offers a dependable option for everyday wear and integrates easily into permanent jewelry services. Whether your client is prioritizing sensitivity, low maintenance, or a clean, modern look, it provides a strong foundation.
As always, the final selection should reflect your client’s preferences and how they plan to wear the piece.
