Titanium is the perfect choice for a wedding ring today. No other item of jewelry has played such important role in demonstrating affection as the wedding ring. Of the precious metals used to create wedding rings, titanium has merits that supersede gold or platinum in its beauty, quality and value that make it an ideal choice as the symbol of your love.
While titanium has been known to us for many years, it was originally used in aerospace and salt water projects, becoming widely used in commercial applications and now in jewelry designs during the last two decades. One reason why titanium rings are gaining in popularity, especially with men, is because of its strength that belies its light weight feel.
The style and design of your wedding ring aside, there are some practical reasons why choosing titanium makes sense. Because it is an inert metal, it is ideal for people with sensitive skin. This fact accounts for its use in the production of equipment and tools for medical procedures. You will never have to worry about damage from the elements to your titanium wedding ring, unlike silver, it will remain completely tarnish-free.
Whenever you buy jewelry, quality is always the primary concern. The wide spread use of titanium within jewelry industry confirms its quality and its market appeal. In respect to the purity of the metal itself, neither gold nor
platinum
can match titanium. Today, jewelry designers are using titanium for
more of their work, taking advantage of titanium’s beautiful grey sheen
that rivals the look of platinum at a more affordable price.
How
to Buy a Wedding Ring</b>
A wedding ring
is an investment that brings beauty and aesthetic pleasure. But keep
in mind that there is a distinct difference between the shape of the hand of
a man and a woman. Some are slender with tapered fingers. For this type of hand,
a ring that is designed with a diagonal pattern works well, even with an array
of stones. However if the hand is broad and fingers are very thick, a flat design,
perhaps with contrasting bands could be a good starting point. With the variety
of men’s titanium wedding
ring designs available, you are sure to be impressed. You can find
solid titanium as well as titanium rings in combination with gold or platinum.
What
to Look for When Choosing a Men’s Titanium Wedding Ring</b>
Be aware
that just like gold, there are different grades of titanium on the market today.
You will find many designs made from alloyed titanium, but if you want your to be pure titanium, make sure you ask your jeweler for the CP grade
of titanium of the ring you are interested in. Purchasing a titanium ring with
a CP grade of 2 will prove to be a good investment.
