Titanium Wedding Rings

Titanium entered the jewelry marketplace in the mid-1980’s. Since then, titanium wedding bands have become a rising star among wedding ring styles.

This fine metal had been discovered nearly two hundred years before it was used in jewelry and titanium wedding band design, but scientists were unable to separate the pure metal from the compounds it naturally occurred in. That changed in the 1940’s, and titanium began to make its mark on industries from aerospace to fine jewelry.

Why Titanium Wedding Rings

In the end, couples choose titanium wedding rings for the unparalleled look of the metal jewel, but there are some very good reasons, practical reasons, to make your wedding band choice a titanium wedding band.

• Titanium is extremely strong; so strong, it's the metal of choice for high-speed aircraft.
• Titanium is light-weight. Despite its strength, titanium weighs only about what aluminum does. Comparable strength in a light-weight metal is not found elsewhere.
• Titanium is virtually non-allergenic. Titanium is an inert metal that has virtually no effect on the human body. It is so compatible that it is used in surgeries to replace cartilage, joint, and bones.
• Titanium does not corrode easily. Titanium is unaffected by most of the corrosive chemicals people come into contact with, so you can worry very little about wearing titanium wedding rings on a daily basis. Chlorine, saltwater, and sea air can ruin other fine metals, but pose no problem to titanium.
• Titanium shows little response or conductivity to heat, magnetism, and electricity.

Titanium Wedding Band Styles

Titanium is a metal that serves well in a variety of designs. Here are some of the most popular styles of titanium wedding bands.

• Black titanium wedding band
Titanium can be processed to take on a flat, black finish that is very appealing. Black titanium wedding bands are especially appealing for a man. Titanium wedding band sets (for both man and woman) are very nice for a very sophisticated contemporary look.
• Titanium Celtic wedding ring
The use of titanium in Celtic wedding bands is common. Perhaps the reason is that these are styles that are well liked as 'manly' pieces, and the titanium can withstand a 'manly' lifestyle. Perhaps it is because a titanium Celtic wedding band is strong and pattern distortion is not an issue with wear. It’s probably a combination of these factors and the fact that the Celtic styles are 'in', so designers would have a great demand for Celtic titanium wedding bands.
• Gold titanium wedding band
Gold and titanium combinations in wedding rings are simply explained – the dual-tone look is fabulous.
• Mens titanium wedding bands
Titanium is used for both men's and women's wedding bands, but is more often sought and for a mens wedding ring. Titanium just suits a man's active, rugged, lifestyle better than metals that are more susceptible to abuse, so titanium mens wedding bands are a pragmatic choice as much as a fashion statement.
