About Titanium

Titanium is a transition metal that is found in abundance on Earth. It is also present in certain meteorites and assumed to be found on the Sun too. Its color is light white/gray and you can change its finish through polishing, brushing, and other techniques.

Titanium is a very strong and lustrous metal that is light in weight and imparts a shiny and sophisticated look. Because of these properties, many brides and grooms are choosing to buy Titanium wedding bands. The strength to weight ratio of Titanium is higher compared to all other transition metals. The density of Titanium is 4.11 which is around 5 times lower than that of Tungsten, therefore feels much lighter on the finger.

My Bridal Ring  professionals are here to answer all your questions with our pros and cons list for Titanium wedding bands.

Pros:

1. Titanium wedding bands are very durable and can endure wear and tear for a long time
2. As Titanium is a bio-compatible metal, it is hypoallergenic and does not cause any allergic reactions
3. Titanium can resist corrosion and tarnish and does not undergo tarnishing even under salt water
4. These wedding bands will not become hot even when they are exposed to heat because they are poor conductors of heat and electricity
5. You can find Titanium rings in a wide price range. Whether you are looking from rings at reasonable rates or designer bands, you can get both these options in Titanium
6. Titanium wedding bands are prepared from a low-environmental-impact metal

Cons:

1. It can be really difficult to resize and repair Titanium rings because of its strength
2. You may have limited options in the styles of the wedding bands due to the same reason listed above
3. Forming Titanium into intricate looking designs can be tough, but it can be inlaid with metals and given a contemporary smooth design

Some Points to Consider while Shopping for Titanium Wedding Bands

• Make sure you purchase wedding bands that are prepared from Conventional Titanium Grade 2-4 metals
• For brides or grooms wanting to buy black Titanium wedding bands, the black color should be in its entirety rather than just the plating
• Titanium wedding bands featuring different metals should have the metal features inlaid into the ring
• Such customized rings should be handled with care as they are not as durable and scratch resistant as Titanium
• Purchase only from jewelers who have an easy-return policy with a money back guarantee
• Ask whether or not you can get the ring resized and if they offer a lifetime exchange policy so that you are able to replace your ring if your finger changes in size over time
• Aircraft Grade Titanium is never recommended for wedding bands. It is best to go for Commercially Pure Grade Titanium that is 99% pure
