Titanium Rings

Are titanium wedding rings good?

Yes. You might not have thought about titanium for your wedding ring yet. It is not usually discussed much when it comes to wedding bands, especially for women. But titanium wedding rings are a good option. The metal is hardy and very lightweight.

Due to these properties, you can also find titanium engagement rings with gemstones, like diamonds. Titanium is very easy to mould and manufacture. This often leads to some very interesting designs as well as custom titanium rings.

Titanium promise rings are also becoming popular because of their longevity. A promise ring is meant to symbolise long-lasting love, and titanium can last for a very long time. At the other end of the spectrum, titanium anniversary rings are also a very exciting choice. Particularly if you want to design your own.

Can you get coloured titanium rings?

Yes you can because titanium is a reactive metal. What this means is that the metal can be anodized. This means you can get purple and blue titanium rings among other colours. If you want a metal ring but you still want a pop of colour, then titanium could be your answer.

Black titanium rings are popular titanium wedding ring choices for men. Black titanium is a coated form of the metal. A black titanium ring won't necessarily remain black forever. This is because it can scratch. You should remember this if you want a black ring.

Titanium and zirconium rings are sometimes the better answer for black rings. You can mix the silver of titanium and black of zirconium for a textured look. Zirconium wedding rings are also less likely to scratch than titanium wedding bands.

Is titanium mixed with other metals and materials?

Yes. It does actually. Titanium and gold rings are made of an alloy called Ti-Au or Au-Ti. This blend of metals is very, very hard. It's much harder than titanium alone. It is used in many places, including dentistry and jewellery!

Titanium and diamond rings are another example of mixing titanium with other materials. This mix is always very interesting as many designs include much smaller diamonds than you usually see in wedding ring styles, like our molten gemstone style. They are a good choice for more glamour wedding bands for men.

You can find lots of diamond rings in our ring collection, like this moissanite diamond style.

Do men wear titanium rings?

Men's titanium rings are very popular. Firstly, because you can get coloured titanium. This means men can get coloured wedding bands, like black or blue options. For some men, this might be preferable to plain silver or gold.

Additionally, titanium is corrosion-resistant and doesn't scratch much. Men who work with their hands might choose a titanium ring because of this to ensure it doesn't get damaged.

Titanium is more associated with men, but this doesn't mean women can't wear it.

Are there cons to titanium rings?

Titanium band rings do have some cons. These include:

• Titanium usually has a matte finish. This means the ring won't be as shiny as a gold band would be.
• Titanium is soldered when made. This might make resizing more difficult than other metals.

With these cons is mind, it is also a good idea to dispel some of the myths about titanium ring styles.

Firstly, titanium rings can be cut off in emergencies. Some people claim they can't, but they definitely can. They also can be engraved even though people think that they can't. Usually, titanium rings are okay for people who have allergies to gold or silver as it's a hypoallergenic metal.

Lastly, it is harder to do, but titanium rings can be resized. So while we have listed it as a con, it's not the end of the world!

Can I shower in a titanium ring?

Yes. Titanium is resistant to rust and other kinds of corrosion. It's also waterproof. So you can shower in it. You can also bathe and swim in it if you'd like to. Technically, titanium rings are even safe in pools with chlorine or salt.

That being said, it is a good idea to remove your rings sometimes, even just to give your hands a proper clean.

Is titanium better than gold?

Titanium is actually the hardest of the natural metals. So, in theory, it is harder than gold. And even though it's harder, it's still lightweight. This makes it a really good choice for things like wedding rings. Whether it's better than gold is probably subjective.

In terms of price, gold is more expensive and so more sought-after. While titanium is very abundant, it's considered rare because it only appears in the crust of the earth when connected with oxygen. This means that it's actually rare to get hold of.

So, gold and titanium are both strong and hard and are both expensive. It is definitely subjective which is better.

How do I care for my titanium ring?

Caring for titanium jewellery means a few things.

• Wash with soapy water but make sure it's a detergent-free soap.
• Store your titanium pieces in a cloth bag - like the pouch you get your Camile & Stone pieces in
• Make sure to clean your ring regularly or take it to a professional to clean

Additionally, you can wear titanium in water but it is a good idea to remove your ring sometimes. A good time to do this might be while you bathe or swim!
