subject: Let Mens Titanium Wedding Bands Become A Family Heirloom [print this page] When they walk into a jewelry store in search of a wedding band, most men are not looking for a collection of mens titanium wedding bands; they probably have something more traditional in mind like gold or platinum. However, as word gets around about alternative metals, todays couples are getting a bit more creative in their choice of rings. They are choosing titanium over gold and platinum for several reasons, not the least of which is the price.
A lot has been written about mens titanium wedding bands over the past couple years, and the more people learn about this space-age metal the more they are sold. The general public first learned about titanium from a cutting edge designer, Edward Mirell, who started the trend of wearing non-traditional mens titanium wedding bands with striking silhouettes and unusual colors. As more men look for alternatives to pricey precious metals, the trend has gone viral in the world of mens jewelry. Previous articles on this site have even alluded to the fact that buyers of titanium rings are smarter and more tech-savvy, but at the risk of offending people who prefer other metals, I like to call them early adopters.
If you try to learn about mens titanium wedding bands by doing an internet search, you may end up a bit confused about the properties of this metal. For example, some sites will tell you that titanium rings can be resized, or that the metal scratches easily, but neither is correct. One of my colleagues over at the Edward Mirell Company told me that pure, legitimate titanium is too hard a metal to be resized. Fortunately, the metal is also affordable enough to be replaced with a larger sized ring. As for its scratch-resistance, I learned that these rings are very easy to maintain with little help from a jeweler. To buff out scratches on mens titanium wedding bands, all it takes is a light rub with a Scotch-Brite pad, and they can be polished quite easily with some hand sanitizer on a cotton ball. With very little effort, your ring will be restored to its natural brilliance.
So what does a titanium wedding ring have to do with family heirlooms? The truth is, these rings are just as likely as your precious gold wedding bands to last for generations to come. One reason some couples have shied away from purchasing alternative metals for wedding bands is because they lack the perception of intrinsic value that comes along with precious metals, but the true value of a ring for future generations will be more about the way it symbolizes a marriage and less about the value of the metal. Chances are, your titanium ring will look a whole lot better in a hundred years than a gold ring purchased in the same year; primarily because the metal is too hard to wear down or lose its shape over time.
Titanium is scratch-resistant, easy to care for, extremely hard, and yet surprisingly lightweight. It is also hypoallergenic and relatively inexpensive. If you are looking for a wedding ring that will stand the test of time, and look just as good for future generations as it does for you, then start shopping for your family heirloom a mens titanium wedding band.
