Stylish and Eternal: Titanium Wedding Rings

When you think of titanium, you probably imagine long lasting strength. Could there be a stronger statement of the commitment and love symbolized by a wedding ring? This metal, while seemingly so common, has extraordinary properties that make it a perfect base for engagement and wedding rings.

When it comes to metals, titanium is one of the strongest. A large amount of force is needed in order for a titanium ring to get bent out of shape. Unlike gold wedding rings, for example, smacking your hand in the car door is unlikely to bend one. It’s possible to scratch it, but it’s not easy. A little polishing and it will look like new again.

In spite of this hardness, there is no need to worry about a titanium ring getting stuck in an emergency situation. In rare instances, a gold ring can be bent into a finger, causing painful pressure. That’s less likely with a titanium wedding ring. If it does happen, you can cut off the ring just like you would any other.

The aerospace industry and similar leading edge manufacturing sectors use titanium because of its incredible strength. Yet there is another. It’s approximately one third the weight of gold, making it very lightweight. Some like the whisper soft feel of titanium. It sits lightly on the hand and presents no resistance to moving the finger. For those who spend so much time at the keyboard these days, that can be a big plus.

As well, titanium is hypoallergenic and can be worn constantly with no worries about skin conditions. They won’t irritate the skin at all. Titanium is used in hip implants and other medical applications and is perfectly benign.

Titanium engagement or wedding rings aren’t just a practical wonder, though. Plus, they are incredibly beautiful.

Natural titanium is a grayish metal, similar to stainless steel only brighter. It can be polished to a bright sheen and can be made into intricate designs because of its strength. Those qualities make for a subtle, yet ultra-elegant and different style of jewelry. It can also be treated during manufacture to produce a lustrous black. However, make sure you get genuine black titanium; if it has just been coated it will have to be restored periodically.

Men especially like the edgy style that comes with this alternative wedding ring material. By mixing the black and gray kinds you get more of a design range. The end result is an outstanding wedding band that is extremely lightweight as well as distinct and fashionable.

Consider this different look and feel for your wedding ring. After all, you are unique. Shouldn’t your ring be too?
