Titanium is an excellent metal for wedding bands. It is naturally silver-white in color, but it can be treated to different colors. Titanium is very light weight which is its hallmark feature and one of the reasons it is used so heavily in manufacturing. It resists scratching well, and it is both hypoallergenic and biocompatible. Titanium wedding bands are growing in popularity because they don’t tarnish at room temperature and are very strong. Titanium is abundant in nature (which helps keep price down), but it is difficult to shape - the techniques needed to refine it enough to shape for jewelry have only recently been developed.

Titanium is stronger than steel yet lighter than aluminum. It comes in different grades which have different properties like hardness and ductility. There are more than 30 grades of titanium with Grade 5 (also called aircraft grade) being the most commonly used due to its incredible strength and workability. Titanium is widely-recognized for its versatility throughout many industries. You’re likely to find different grades of titanium in use from the golf course to the International Space Station, from high-rise skyscrapers to joint replacement. The lightweight strength of titanium means the metal has endless possibilities for use in our everyday lives.

Titanium rings are both hypoallergenic and biocompatible. Alloys of titanium are used in joint replacement meant to last several years inside the human body, so titanium has to not only be tough enough to survive the rigors over everyday use but be able to have long instances of contact to human skin and tissue without causing reactions. Titanium rings have no nickel in them. It is resilient against sea water and chlorine so is ideal for those who will want to wear their ring when swimming

Titanium rings can be cut off with a diamond-tip ring cutter, but because of their very high strength, Titanium rings are much more difficult to cut off than other metals. Also, while it is a hard metal, titanium may scratch and show signs of wear especially when compared some of the other super-hard alternative metal options like tungsten.

Overall, titanium is a splendid choice for a man’s wedding band. It is light weight, has the cool image of being made of aircraft metal, and is named after gods. It has a contemporary look, an affordable price, and comfortability making it an outstanding ring to wear every day.
