There is no more important jewelry buying decision than purchasing your wedding bands. It’s the only piece of jewelry you will wear every single day for the rest of your life. There are as many styles and options for rings, as there are reasons to love a person. The most popular types of metals include gold, silver, platinum, and of course titanium.
Titanium wedding bands are becoming more and more popular because they’re so durable, affordable, and just so gorgeous. Titanium is an almost white metal, but it is a darker, more powerful color than platinum. The color is best described as gunmetal grey. This makes for an especially stunning and lovely contrast when the ring has diamonds or a design etched into the band.
Titanium itself is incredibly strong, and is in fact commonly used to manufacture aircraft parts and surgical instruments. Titanium has the added benefit of weighing a third less than gold. Many wearers forget they are even wearing their ring until the glance at their hand and see it shining back at them. Beauty, strength, and wearability rarely go so hand in hand. This makes titanium wedding bands the perfect choice for couples embarking on the beautiful and often challenging journey that is married life.
Although titanium has a reputation for being nearly indestructible, it can be scratched by abrasives like sandpaper and metal tools, albeit to a much lesser extent than either gold or silver. Fortunately, should this happen to your titanium wedding band, a jeweler can easily polish out any imperfections the ring may pick up with years of wear and tear. In addition, when titanium wedding bands are polished they have a striking appearance that invites compliments from friends and strangers alike.
It’s important when buying titanium bands for men or women to get the sizing exactly right. And buyers are discouraged from experiencing major weight gains or losses, because it is impossible to make a ring smaller. A ring can be made slightly larger by removing a small section on the inside of the ring. The exact thing that makes resizing so difficult, adds to the beauty of the rings. Bands are made by skillfully crafting solid bars of titanium into a seamless ring. It is noteworthy that with the time and care that it takes to make a wedding band that titanium is such a less expensive option than gold or platinum. Titanium wedding bands are beautiful and will last a lifetime just like the love they symbolize.
