Titanium Wedding Rings: Pros and Cons – 15 reasons why titanium can’t be beat

Pros

The advantages of titanium are many, I’ve explained the top 15 here. In fact, even its teeny number of cons can easily be seen as pros. Here’s why:

1. Superior strength:

   One of the world’s top 4 strongest metals. Its unique combination of both strength and lightness when worn makes titanium a great choice for a men’s wedding ring.

 

Titanium is also a natural rival for steel, it matches steel in strength but is much lighter. As a result, titanium is widely used in manufacturing for robust builds such as: aeroplanes, tennis rackets, bike frames, surgical equipment, golf clubs and many more. 

 

2. Unrivalled durability:

   Superior endurance means titanium wedding rings are highly durable, delivering a practical yet stunning band that will last for a lifetime.

 

3. Water-resistant:

   Superb functionality includes resistance to water and sweat meaning you can wear your titanium wedding or engagement band in the shower, at the gym (mind the knurled bar bell grips) or swimming with ease.

 

4. Heat-resistant:

   Titanium is resistant to heat providing an all-weather wedding band you can wear in the summer, on holiday and whilst working in hot environments without worrying about it getting hot. The is particularly useful for Chef’s or firemen whose hands will be around hot environments. See - Best wedding rings for Chefs or Best Wedding rings for Firefighters

 

5. Permanent shape:

   As you would expect from such a hardwearing metal, a titanium ring will never lose its shape. Unlike other metals, titanium rings won’t bend or dent, which is important for jewellery you’ll wear every day

 

6. Hypoallergenic:

   Free from nickel alloys, pure titanium is hypoallergenic and widely used in items for more sensitive areas such as: earrings, piercings, and human implants

 

7. Scratch-resistant:

   The outstanding hardness of titanium rings means they won’t scratch deeply, easily. Delivering an exceptional level of scratch-resistance which even outperforms stainless steel, you can wear a titanium wedding band at work without worry. The surface of a Titanium ring will acquire its own patina with wear.

 

8. Lightweight:

   Alongside all its first-rate sturdy qualities, titanium is a lightweight metal. Much lighter than gold or silver, titanium bands are super comfortable to wear daily for both work and play.

 

9. Won’t tarnish:

   The all-important question – will titanium jewellery leave you with embarrassing green marks? No, titanium jewellery certainly does not leave green stains on your fingers! Titanium is hypoallergenic.

 

10. Eco-friendly & recyclable:

    Though titanium is 100% recyclable, it’s long-lasting benefits ensure a titanium wedding ring will last for generations. With a beautiful heirloom you can pass on to your children, you know you’re buying a fine-quality, non-toxic wedding ring that will last.

 

11. Non-magnetic:

    As a non-ferrous metal, titanium is non-magnetic and a poor conductor of electricity - benefits particularly handy for everyday safety

 

12. Low maintenance:  Maintenance for such a high class of metal? Very little. Unlike gold, silver and platinum, a simple wash with soap and water from time to time is all that’s required to look after your titanium ring. You may wish to get the surface finish touched up from time-to-time, your ring will look like new again.

13. Non-corrosive:

Cons
