If you are ring shopping you may be thinking gold, or possibly platinum, but a titanium ring may not have crossed your mind. More and more brides and grooms as well as people who like to wear jewelry in general are turning to titanium as their metal of choice. A titanium ring is durable, strong, practical, and most importantly, great looking. Especially if you are looking for a ring to symbolize eternity, you cannot go wrong with titanium.
A huge advantage that a titanium ring has over some of the other, softer metals is that it will not wear down, get scratches or bend easily. People who do a lot of work with their hands or work with heavy equipment while wearing a ring will appreciate this feature.
Some people have very sensitive skin and are not even able to wear gold jewelry without discomfort because it is an allergen to them. But, a titanium ring is even more hypoallergenic than a gold ring and jewelers are recommending them to their customers who have had skin problems in the past.
One of the fun and more unique features of titanium is that it can be colored. You can have your titanium ring made in black, gold, copper, or even red or blue. It is really up to you, so you can be as creative as you like.
A concern that many people have with putting a stone in a ring is that the brackets will come loose and the stone will be lost. You can have your stone in a titanium ring set with a tension setting which essentially “squeezes” the stone in the brackets. Because the titanium ring is hard the brackets will not loosen. Some people choose to have matching stones put around the entire ring, while some have several multi-colored stones or a single stone setting.
Engraving, etchings, and inlays of different metals or different colored titanium are also easy to do in the hard titanium and they will not wear down like on some gold rings. Titanium also does not tarnish.
If you are interested in other types of titanium jewelry like earrings, bracelets and necklaces you will find a wide selection available with the same contemporary styling as the rings.
Where can you find titanium jewelry? If you go online you will find a number of different sources where you can get a good idea of what is available on the market. Take a look.

Interesting post!
True that. I think the problem is that men go on the cheap. Check out these reasonably priced designer bands.
