Thick, flat aluminum wrapped around large Garnet bead, then headpin through all of it, 3 pretty fluorites at the other end. The bail, which you can't see, is squarish. I call this an art piece. I believe everything except the aluminum is sterling.  |

Titanium anodizes easier. Is more durable. Costs more, therefore sells for more.
