TITANIUM IS LIKE A MAGIC METAL .
Known for its low density and high strength , this lustrous transition metal is also ultralightweight .
And it gets even better : titanium is also extremely durable and corrosion-resistant .
All of these characteristics make titanium , named after the Titans of Greek mythology , ideal for creating durable and strong yet lightweight eyewear .
Glasses made from titanium also retain their colours longer than eyewear created
from other materials and they ’ re able to withstand considerable wear and tear . Titanium glasses also scream sleek and stylish .

Here are some of our favourite frames , made of either titanium or beta titanium . OP
