At one time when couples shopped for their wedding rings they could choose any type of metal for their rings as long as it was gold. The modern shopper now has a wide choice of metals available. One of these metals is titanium. Titanium engagement rings, while unusual, can be excellent choices for many people.
Titanium is a lightweight metal that makes beautiful, durable jewelry. It can be polished to a high sheen or be carved with ornate patterns. It has been used in jewelry making for twenty plus years.
Some men don’t care for the heavy feel of gold or don’t care for the traditional look of gold. Titanium is much lighter than gold and has a grey or silver-grey sheen. It is possible to find mens titanium engagement rings that will use both colors in the final piece. It can even be used in the design of custom rings that allow the use of precious and semi-precious gems. Designs such as mother-of-pearl inlay can also be found.
Ring styles are affordable. It’s possible to find rings in price ranges of fifty to sixty dollars for basic rings with minimal design. Prices can of course rapidly rise if diamonds or semi precious stones are added to the ring. Titanium can be used in modern styles of stone settings such as tension mounts where it appears as if the diamond is free floating in the ring with no visible means of support.

If you have ever had allergic reactions to gold or silver there is a good chance that you won’t have those same problems with this type of metal. It is often used in pacemakers because body chemicals don’t interact with the metal causing it to corrode. Nor does it tarnish like silver.
