| What is Titanium:
Because of its durability, Titanium has become more popular for designer jewelry in recent years, whereas until recently the metal was too difficult to work into the intricate shapes with the precision necessary for fine jewelry. Today, Titanium rings — including engagement rings and wedding bands — are one of the fastest growing segments of the Titanium jewelry market, in part due to the ability of the metal to be grooved, inlaid, and carved without losing strength.
At Men’s Ring Store, we carry two brands of Titanium, the Triton Collection and the Cambridge Collection. Both collections offer Titanium rings incorporating inlays, precious and semi-precious metals and stones. The Triton Collection offers solid Gold inlays and Diamond inserts, and a few rings in this collection contain Platinum and Silver. The Cambridge Collection offers a more price-sensitive line of rings incorporating Gold Plating and Cubic Zirconia. Both collections offer the Men’s Ring Store Lifetime Guarantee.
Titanium is similar to Tungsten when considering its unique combination of sheer beauty and durability. One of its main differences is that unlike Tungsten rings, Titanium rings are lighter in weight (comparable to Aluminum in weight). Why is light weight an advantage to Titanium rings? Other rings made of products such as Platinum, Gold and Silver oftentimes must reduce weight to their settings/fashions at the sacrifice of style and durability – Titanium’s light weight and high strength allow it to be fashioned by skilled craftsmen into one of the hottest brands of fine rings.
And again, like Tungsten, Titanium rings hold their shape and luster due to its extreme hardness – in fact it has the highest strength to weight ratio of any known element. Many think that this characteristic makes Titanium one of the leading categories in the men’s fashion jewelry industry.
Why Titanium Rings:
Titanium, as mentioned above, is at the forefront in the designer jewelry community; there are many reasons for this phenomenon including fashion, freshness, price, durability, and style.
Titanium rings have many positive characteristics when compared to other conventional materials used in rings with the possible exception of Tungsten. It is far stronger and harder and wears better and doesn't mar easily. Titanium is a lighter metal which allows for far more design opportunities. Check out Men’s Ring Store’s varied collections of Titanium rings – you will find stylish designs in both the Triton and Cambridge Collections!
Titanium rings are also Cobalt free which is extremely important when considering potential allergic reactions; it does not rust, is corrosion and scratch resistant and will never tarnish.
Due to titanium's light weight, most rings are more durable and thicker than their counterparts in Silver, Gold and Platinum increasing the durability and potential for a life time of enjoyment. Titanium rings are also more resistant to scratches and color abnormalities in that Titanium Rings are not “pigmented” or “painted”. Just one more reason why Men’s Ring Store offers a free Lifetime Warranty on all of our Titanium rings!
Caring for Titanium Rings:
As with Tungsten, Titanium rings are virtually maintenance free. Titanium rings are best cleaned with soap and water using a soft rag – avoid the use of harmful abrasive cleaners – even those used by retail jewelers.
