Easy to color, Easy to engrave, and looks kool. Only thing is , it's expensive.

Yep it's pricey, and harder to find sheet, wire, bar & tubing stock...

Reactive is the main supplier for our level of industry.

Does yield some stronger colors.

Much more expensive than Titanium Arnaud. Reactive Metals Studio is the go to place . The heaviest gauge they carry is 20ga. 6"x12" for $300 +.The pendant in the photo is 24ga. OK for earrings , but a little thin for a pendant. No acid etch necessary and I find the colors to be more predictable than Titanium.

a very remarkable looking piece.

If you acid etch the titanium you can get bold colors, but without the acid etch the high end washes out. With Nb you don't have to surface prepare or acid etch and the full spectrum is vivid.

VERY nice pendant. Your cutting and design look great.
