Making titanium ear studs

I had to make some four claw ear studs out of titanium the other
day.

I posted a blog showing the process.

Hi Hans,

Nice work.

Questions?

  1. what grade of titanium? did you use? I use only 999 commercially
    pure.

  2. did you fire oxidise them ? before the stone setting of course,
    to colour them? The best colours are the blues and the greens. Blue
    is easy ,mallard green v difficult.

Best on the 999 grade. Not so good on the V4A6 range.
