Titanium
engagement rings are all the rage! With an appearance that is just
as elegant as traditional gold, white gold, and platinum
rings at
a fraction of the cost, more and more people are turning to titanium
as the material of choice for wedding and engagement rings. Titanium
engagement rings are resilient, beautiful, less costly, and can hold
a diamond setting as well as any precious metal. If the choice can
be just as lovely, more durable, and nearly half the price in some
cases, what’s
not to love?
Titanium wedding
bands have also emerged as an option for those looking to spend
a bit less but still have an attractive piece of jewelry. Because
titanium is more durable and far more attractive than marcasite
and other substitutes for gold, it achieved this status rather
quickly. Today, however, many choose a titanium engagement ring
on its own merits, rather than simply because it costs less than
gold.
Space-Age Jewelry
Titanium is
the same material used in the construction of NASA rockets, ballistic
missiles, and the Space Shuttle. It is incredibly durable, nearly
unbendable, and can withstand exposure to extreme levels of heat
and cold. While it’s not likely that you would need to
worry about such situations with your titanium engagement ring,
it would be interesting to see a marcasite ring try to stand up
to such punishment.
Titanium diamond
rings of all sorts are particularly attractive. The natural silvery-white
color of titanium adds to the sparkle of a white diamond and really
brings out the color in certain fancy diamonds as well. It’s
not just a choice for the frugal, but a metal that is every bit
as attractive as the more expensive gold, platinum, and silver
when used in creating jewelry. Titanium rings with Celtic designs
and Challah braids are also available.
With the popularity
of titanium rising, more jewelers are using the material for wedding
and engagement jewelry purposes every day. If you’re looking for a unique
way to pop the question or just want to save a bit of money, you
may want to consider titanium engagement rings.
