Titanium Wedding Band

Titanium wedding bands often come in very modern designs with clean lines and angles. This is partly because titanium is fairly new to wedding jewelry, but is becoming increasingly popular with men. Titanium is not a precious metal, which is one of the many differences between it and more traditional wedding band precious metals. It is darker in color than platinum and white gold and is often referred to as "gun metal" gray.

Titanium is ideal for people with allergies or sensitivity to metals used in jewelry. Titanium is often used, not only for jewelry, but also in aerospace engineering and medicine. It is much stronger and more durable than gold, white gold, or platinum.

It is also incredibly lightweight. Titanium is much lighter than the precious metals used for wedding bands. If weight is a factor for you, titanium will never feel heavy or cumbersome. The only drawback of titanium is that because the material is so strong and durable, it is very difficult to have rings re-sized. Many jewelers will say it's not possible. The metal's strength and firmness is also part of the reason that titanium rings are made in such simple designs.

Despite the fact that titanium is not a precious metal, titanium wedding bands can still be expensive. You can find small bands for as little as $80, but many are priced at several hundred dollars. The cost of a titanium ring is valued by the labor that went into creating the ring. Titanium is a difficult metal to work with, so any design or inlaid stone will drive up the price. If you are looking for a lightweight, durable ring in an unconventional color, then a titanium wedding band may be right for you.
