About Titanium Jewelry
- Titanium's natural color is gunmetal gray. Because it is one of the refractory metals, oxygen can be combined with electricity to create an oxide that structurally changes the surface crystals in the metal, creating a color change that can vary from pink, purple, green, blue and turquoise, to black and even gold.
- Titanium does not tarnish, and its surface may either be polished to a high sheen resembling platinum, or brushed for better scratch-resistance.
- Many brides and grooms are turning to titanium as a beautiful and cost-effective alternative to platinum or white gold. The durability of the metal is an added bonus that helps to ensure that the wearer will get a lifetime of use from the piece.
- Titanium may be inlaid with gold, silver, wood or gemstones for a truly unique ring.
- Titanium has long been used in the medical industry due to its being completely hypoallergenic. This also makes it perfect for use in the jewelry industry, as everyone can wear it.
- Most rings are made from aircraft-grade titanium, which means they cannot be resized or engraved. Also, should your ring need to be cut off in an emergency situation, your finger could be at risk. If you are having a titanium ring specially made, you should request pure titanium in order to avoid this risk.
