Titanium Jewellery Info
Information about our Titanium
In the past the traditional metals used for creating wedding rings has been gold, platinum, or a combination of several precious metals. But as these prestigious metals have become increasingly popular over the centuries the price of gold has touched unprecedented heights. For many people gold is simply unaffordable.
An alternative metal that is becoming extremely popular amongst newly-weds is titanium. The beauty of titanium jewellery is its vast array of elegant styles, designs, and attractive colours. Not to mention it is only a fraction of the cost when compared to precious metals. It has a number of properties that make it an ideal choice for a wedding ring.
Strength
Commercial grade titanium is 99.2% pure making it around ten times stronger than eighteen carat gold. Because of its strength it is also more resistant to scuffs, scratches, and marks. That is not to say titanium will not scratch, because it can, and it will, but because of its strength it usually takes a lot more time and abuse to damage.
Lightweight
Titanium rings are exceptionally light weight and weigh approximately 40% the weight of a platinum ring. Titanium is also known to be the lightest metal on earth.
Hypoallergenic
Titanium is perfect for anyone that has overly sensitive skin. It is completely inert and will never cause any kind of allergic reaction. In fact, there is not a single documented case of an allergic reaction caused by titanium.
A common complaint that arises from conventional metal jewellery is something called a "nickel itch". Conventional metals contain nickel that cause a nasty, irritating, itch on the skin directly under the ring. Because titanium is hypoallergenic, and does not contain any nickel, allergic reactions such as this will never occur.
Titanium is completely safe and harmless to wear.
Exotic and Spectacular Designs
Titanium wedding rings are available in a stunning variety of colours and styles for both men and women. Some popular styles include:
* Gold and precious metal inlays
* Diamond and gemstone settings
* Tension settings
* Stunning black zirconium
* Custom engraving
* Polished or matte finishes
Titanium's natural colour is silver-grey. It is darker than ordinary silver or white gold, but still looks beautiful. Through a process of called anodization it is possible to change the colour of titanium to any colour you desire.
If you struggle to find the perfect design, you can also create your own. Most jewellers will allow you create your own unique ring from a custom design.
Whether you are looking for a tradition style wedding ring, or something with a little more elegance and pizzazz, titanium is the perfect choice. Titanium wedding rings are an excellent alternative to tradition rings that have a number of additional properties when compared to gold, platinum, and other precious metals. Their strength makes them a favourable choice because titanium will last for generations without tarnishing or degrading, and the price of titanium is much cheaper than gold.
