Titanium Rings

Titanium, named for the Titans, gods of Greek mythology, has earned that name for the wonderful properties it possesses.

So lightweight that it is used in aircraft production, while possessing the greatest strength to weight ratio of all crystalline metals known, titanium makes the ideal wedding band for its resilience and comfort of wear.

Corrosion resistant in extreme environments, titanium rings can be worn without a risk of damage in both salty ocean water and chlorinated pools. The material’s aversion to reaction with the human body makes titanium rings perfectly suited for individuals with allergies.

Titanium’s resistance to tarnishing will ensure that your titanium wedding ring will retain the lustre it gleamed with on the day you saw it. Just like the sparkle of your relationship.

For all these amazing properties, titanium is still more affordable than both gold and platinum.

Titanium is one of the newest materials to be utilized in the jewellery as the main component of a piece; it has only become widely available since the 1990s. Yet, despite its late entry to the field, it has gained immense traction and its widespread popularity among people of all ages has seen titanium rings become highly coveted accessories.

Part of the secret behind this surge in demand is titanium’s ability to be crafted to a veritable kaleidoscope of colours without changing its intrinsic properties. There is no need to alloy titanium with less precious metals, or to imbue it with dyes and paints to alter its appearance – a harmless chemical process called Oxidization transforms its appearance to any of a broad spectrum of possibilities.

This process requires only the application of an electric current to the surface of the titanium. However, the exact method and process are highly precise, complex and labour intensive and this makes the beautiful titanium rings reminiscent of rainbows you see slightly more expensive than those of the plain variety.

The strength of titanium commonly precludes it from being used in rings that are studded with precious stones. This is because it is extremely difficult to craft titanium prongs to hold the gems in place. However, developments in technology are resulting in an increasing number of titanium rings featuring inlaid jewels.

There are four common varieties of titanium rings.

The most simple titanium ring is the Classic, which is a simple halo of the metal machined to the degree of finish required.

Sable titanium rings have the appearance of soft silk and are a particular favourite of women.

A Frost titanium ring, as the name suggests, has the look of a ring left out in the snow or in a freezer. Its glistening, multi-faceted look appeals to both men and women.

Apart from these methods, titanium rings are frequently inlaid with other precious metals, especially gold for a spectacular juxtaposition of contrasts.
