Titanium Wedding Rings

Titanium wedding rings are available in a wide variety of styles and settings. While some people like the simplicity of a plain band other like ones encrusted with gems and detail. The following are just a few of the settings and styles that are available for titanium wedding rings. A channel setting is designed by cutting a channel into the band and placing the diamonds or gemstones side by side with nothing in between. The diamonds or gemstones are set into seats within the channel and the channel walls are bent just slightly over the tops of the diamonds to hold them in place.

A burnished setting is popular design of titanium wedding rings. It is similar to a channel setting but the stones are set individually into the band. Stones are sunk into the mounting until they are nearly level or flush with the surface. Only the table of the stone and a bit of the upper pavilion facets show. This is a streamline design that adds a touch of glitter to band. The burnished setting is a nice way to add other gemstones to titanium diamond engagement rings.

A band inlaid with gold is also a popular addition to titanium engagement rings. It adds a touch of gold and glitter to the band, which can range in color from a silver white to black. The black titanium engagement rings are more expensive and harder to find. They are made from a special Black-Ti alloy that is much more costly than other titanium products due to the rarity of the alloy materials. Two-tone bands are also available on titanium engagement rings. A plain band can come with a shiny satin finish or a brushed finish. There are titanium engagement rings available to match your titanium wedding bangs.

Even though titanium is not considered a precious metal like gold or platinum, it is becoming increasing popular in jewelry design for its durability and strength, especially in titanium wedding bands. NASA primarily uses titanium in building the space shuttles because it is a very strong and lightweight material. These same properties make it an enticing metal for jewelers. It can be carved into intricate designs to give titanium wedding rings an upper hand on its precious metal opponents. It does not cause irritation or discoloration on the skin, making it a perfectly suitable material for the most sensitive skin types.
