The Chemistry Is In Titanium Rings

The phrase "titanium rings" may bring back memories of the periodic table (Ti) hanging on the wall in your high school chemistry classroom. But, titanium rings are now a growing choice in popularity. Whether for a wedding band, diamond ring or a casual accent ring, titanium rings offer a lot of solutions. Many ring wearers do not realize that they may have an allergy to small amounts of nickel found in the gold metal of some bands. Titanium rings do not contain any nickel at all. Titanium rings are completely hypoallergenic. Titanium rings are very lightweight, providing for additional comfort and mobility. The strength and durability in a titanium ring surpasses many other standard precious metals. Titanium is so strong that post World War II the United States Air Force deemed the further production of titanium to be a priority. In

addition to being very resistant to corrosion, a titanium ring is also virtually non-magnetic. Using titanium in rings supports an environmental positive also as titanium is very plentiful on earth and has even been found to be present in meteorites. A titanium ring may not sound as elegant as "gold" or "silver". But, a titanium ring reflects just as much beauty and elegance as any of the other standard metals used in jewelry bands. When shopping for a titanium ring it is important to inquire about the grade of titanium found in the selection of titanium ring before purchasing. Any qualified jeweler would be happy to explain the meanings of these specific grades in the titanium rings.
