Titanium Wedding Rings are Strong and Lasting
11 Feb 2009
When you think of titanium, you probably imagine long lasting strength. What better symbol for the devotion and commitment of a wedding ring could there be? 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 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.
Strength is one reason that titanium makes its way into jets and other high-tech applications. 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. This is a real bonus for those who spend a lot of time using a keyboard.
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.
There’s more to titanium engagement and wedding rings than just their practicality, however. They’re also stunning in appearance.
Natural titanium is a grayish metal, similar to stainless steel only brighter. It polishes to a high sheen and, because it’s so hard, can be worked into brilliant designs. Those qualities make for a subtle, yet ultra-elegant and different style of jewelry. During the manufacturing process, it can also be treated so it becomes a shining black in color. Don’t settle for a titanium ring that has just been coated and will need to be recovered from time to time; be sure to get genuine black titanium.
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 result is a stellar wedding ring that is ultra-lightweight, stylish and unusual.
When deciding on a wedding ring, take a look at this distinct style. Remember, you’re unique. Why not let your ring reflect that?
