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.
One of the strongest metals in existence is titanium. It takes considerable force to cause a titanium ring to get out of round. For example, a gold wedding ring is far more likely to be damaged if you slam the car door on your hand. It can be scratched, but not easily. A little polishing and it will look like new again.
Yet, despite this hardness, wearers need have no concerns about being unable to remove a titanium ring in an emergency. In extreme circumstances, a gold ring can be bent out of shape and create painful pressure on the finger. That’s less likely with a titanium wedding ring. But if it should happen, the ring can be cut off just as any other.
The strength of titanium is the reason it is used in high tech industries such as aerospace. However, there is another. It’s extremely light, weighing in at two thirds less than gold. Many enjoy the feathery feel of a titanium ring. It sits lightly on the hand and presents no resistance to moving the finger. This is a real bonus for those who spend a lot of time using a keyboard.
And, because it is hypoallergenic and medically safe, titanium wedding rings can be worn full time with no concerns. There’s no effect on the skin. Titanium is used in hip implants and other medical applications and is perfectly benign.
There’s more to titanium engagement and wedding rings than just their practicality, however. Plus, they are incredibly beautiful.
Natural titanium is a grayish metal, similar to stainless steel only brighter. Not only can it be crafted into detailed designs due to its hardness, it can also be polished to shine brightly. Those attributes can produce an elegant and unique piece of jewellery. It can also be treated during manufacture to produce a lustrous black. Be sure, though, to get a genuine black titanium ring, not one that has merely been coated and will have to be retreated.
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.
When deciding on a wedding ring, take a look at this distinct style. Remember, you’re unique. Shouldn’t your ring be too?
