Titanium Engagement Rings

Titanium is just a baby in the jewelry marketplace, but is settling in for the long haul. There are some very good reasons to choose titanium as the metal of choice for wedding jewelry, starting with titanium engagement rings.

Titanium is not a new discovery. Titanium was discovered in the late 1700’s. But it was not until the 1940’s that a way to extract titanium from its material compounds was discovered. From there, titanium came to be used in the production of airplanes and also in the medical field. Before many more years, titanium was recognized as an excellent fine metal choice for jewelry making, and today titanium has found its way into the design and crafting of titanium engagement and wedding rings.

Titanium engagement and wedding rings benefit from some very advantageous characteristics of titanium. The titanium in a titanium engagement ring is as light as aluminum, but stronger than gold and platinum. Titanium resists just about everything without marring its appearance as golds and silvers can. Saltwater, heat, electricity, and acids do not have an effect on titanium. Titanium is also extremely easy on the human body. It is so compatible with the human body that titanium is used internally for bone pins and replacement hips. People with allergies who cannot tolerate other metals against their skin are usually able to wear titanium without trouble (note – buy as a pure a titanium as possible to avoid possible reaction to alloyed metals).

Titanium is a silvery-gray color metal with lustrous sheen. The color of titanium can be varied, and processes can also change the shading of titanium for some beautiful design features on titanium diamond engagement rings. These features can be applied to create custom made engagement rings in titanium with the help of a good jewelry maker. They are also applied to create some of the most popular styles of rings, including black titanium engagement rings and titanium engagement rings and Celtic wedding bands.

A black titanium engagement ring is a very sleek-looking choice. Black titanium diamond engagement rings have an ultra-modern look to them, and are an excellent choice when looking for an engagement ring that is unique and not likely to be seen often.

Because the Celtic culture is so full of symbolic meaning, Celtic engagement rings have become very popular. Titanium engagement rings in Celtic styles are particularly nice, because the color and variability of the titanium is very well suited to the style of Celtic titanium engagement rings.

Jewelry choices are more frequently departing from the strict traditional styles that dominated the engagement ring marketplace. Today, more styles and fine materials are becoming options for buyers. Titanium is one of those options that deserve our attentions.
