Titanium 17-4014, it's a funny colour. You think of titanium as something hard, something solid, something cold and dark, but actually, most of the examples I found to show, as a colour at least, were beautifully soft and delicate.

But titanium to me, is yes, hard and solid but it's also somewhat magical.

In my first year of jewellery, we got taught how to anodize titanium. It's a relatively simple process by which heat or electricity is used to change the colour of a piece of titanium, and the colour depends on the heat or voltage used on the piece of metal...

Each colour on this chainmail bracelet by Melissa Randolph, is indicative of a different voltage passed through the titanium turning it beautiful golds, blues, yellows, pinks, purples, blues, greens and coppers. A rainbow from grey.

I told you it was magic.
