People sometimes ask me, as a jeweler, what kind of metal is your ring? I wear a titanium wedding band and I love it! Titanium provides several unique factors that make it a great metal for use in jewelry. Titanium is very affordable, making titanium wedding bands a popular option. Titanium rings also come in many variations and can be easily engraved.
Its strength and durability make titanium a great choice for a ring. Titanium is the hardest natural metal in the world making it a very durable option. It is very strong and is three times the strength of steel and much stronger than gold, silver, or platinum. Titanium is also very light weight. It's more resistant to dents and scratching than other metals as well.
Pure titanium is safe for anyone to wear as it is 100% hypoallergenic so it will not react to skin as some other metals do. Titanium does not react to sunlight or salt water as some other metals do. This is especially important for titanium wedding rings which will be worn every day for many years.
Titanium does not require any special maintenance to keep it looking its best. Unlike white gold rings, which often have a coating to help them stay more white, titanium rings do not require a coating. The natural color of titanium will not fade. To clean a titanium ring, a soft cloth and warm soapy water can be used.
One of the drawbacks to titanium rings is that they are not able to be re-sized. Since titanium is so strong and durable, once the ring is made, it cannot be made larger or smaller. This should be considered when buying a wedding band that you plan to wear for the rest of your life.
Another concern some people have about titanium is whether or not it can be cut off in case of an emergency. Titanium can be cut off but it may take longer than a gold or platinum ring. Most hospitals and jewelers carry necessary tools to remove a titanium ring if an emergency occurs.
As with any jewelry item, it is important to make an informed decision about titanium rings. They do offer affordability and are hypoallergenic. However, not being able to be re-sized can be a drawback for some people.
