What Is Titanium Jewelry
By Kylie Mayhew on Jun 17, 2009 in Jewelry
While the first word association to titanium is probably not jewelry, it seems that it is the new hot thing, especially among men. It is the new rising star of jewelry industry, slowly replacing gold and sliver.
Titanium, a silvery metal with low density and high strength, is a very useful material. It is as strong as steel but with a much lower density, which means it's about 45% lighter. Today, titanium is used in a variety of fields, especially because of its high strength to weight ratio. Aeronautical equipment, automobile parts, bicycle frames, and structural parts are just some common examples.
Why use titanium as jewelry? Well, as it turns out, titanium possesses many properties that make it a great material for jewelry. It's virtually indestructible, making it perfect for everyday use, it's hypoallergenic, light-weight and last but not least, much more affordable than gold or platinum. So the question is - why not use titanium for jewelry?
Titanium represents strength and masculinity, it is after all the strongest natural metal in the world. It's a combination of beauty, strength and durability, which is probably why men like it so much.
Titanium also makes a modern, stylish and unique alternative for wedding or diamond engagement ring. They are designed as both women's and men's wedding rings.
Titanium rings come in a variety of options and can be customized in many different ways. Many different stones (like diamonds, rubies, sapphires, or any other precious stone) can be used. They can also be made with gold, silver and many other precious metal inlays. When shopping for a titanium ring you have many designs and styles to choose from.
Titanium is certainly a good alternative to gold and other standard jewelry materials. Not just because it's cheaper, but because it's unique, stylish and just, if not more beautiful. Titanium jewelry has evolved and is here to stay.
