Tantalum is rare, pure, and strong, with a high density, non-fragility, and high malleability — these qualities set it apart from other contemporary metals. In its natural state, tantalum displays a beautiful grey with a hint of blue, but when used in jewelry, it is coated with a special patented ceramic glaze that gives the metal a matte black appearance, enhancing its scratch resistance. Tantalum is an inert metal, meaning it does not react with most chemicals and is not soluble in acid. It is also hypoallergenic and heat-resistant, widely used in surgical and dental equipment.

Care and Polishing
To clean tantalum jewelry, use a solution of warm water and detergent-free soap with a soft cloth. When not wearing your tantalum pieces, store them in a soft cloth pouch or their original packaging to protect them from daily exposure. Tantalum does not lose its luster; although it is scratch-resistant, it may show signs of natural wear over time.
