Titanium wedding rings

Experts believe that titanium is a unique metal that has no analogues in the modern world. Scientists predict a great future for him. There are legends about its super strength: it is used in the space industry, a monument to Yuri Gagarin was made from it. And now, relatively recently, it began to be used for the manufacture of jewelry, in particular - for wedding rings.

The fashion for wedding rings made of titanium and its relative tungsten came to us from America. What are these mysterious materials and what is their attraction?

Most often, an alloy of tungsten and carbon, later called tungsten carbide, is used to make jewelry. This alloy has unique properties. Many believe that titanium is the hardest material on Earth. However, tungsten exceeds it in hardness four times.

Impressed by watching the famous saga of the lord of the rings, many men want to buy rings made from these materials in order to feel like masters of the universe. Indeed, their appearance is impressive. Rings made of tungsten and titanium cannot be called elegant. If you are looking for paired rings for your wedding, you need to know that thin and narrow ones simply do not make them.

The narrowest ring is 4 mm. These are most often women's rings. Jewelry with a width of 6 mm is considered universal and is suitable for the option of paired rings. Brutal men often choose specimens with a width of 8 or more millimeters.

Despite the fact that this material is less durable than tungsten, it is also quite hard. In appearance, it resembles platinum. It is often referred to as the gray mirror. Products made of titanium really have a smooth, shiny surface of dark gray color, only reflecting light rays much brighter. Today, tungsten and titanium jewelry is not just a blind imitation of the new fashion. This is a kind of way of thinking, a certain self-esteem.

To make a ring from tungsten or titanium, several blanks are made. Titanium begins to melt at a temperature of +1660C, and tungsten at t+2780C. Those. it is extremely difficult to change the shape, and the washer - the workpiece will break faster than deform. In this regard, the question arises - how to choose the right ring size?

If you buy a ring personally in a store, everything is simple: you choose by simple selection. If you order jewelry in an online store or choose a gift for your loved one, here you can offer several options for resolving the issue.

1. Take the ring that you or your fiancée wears on the ring finger and measure its inner diameter with a caliper. The number of millimeters will indicate the size of the ring.
2. Go to the nearest jewelry store or workshop, ask for a finger meter and find out your size empirically. Each copy is numbered here. It is believed that this is the most reliable way to find out the size.
3. In the same store, you can choose a ring of the width that you are going to purchase from titanium, measure it and remember the size. However, with this method, an error may occur. Due to the fact that different metals have different casting technologies, products made from them can differ quite significantly.
4. The size of the ring is directly proportional to its width: the larger it is, the larger the size of the product, respectively.
5. It is highly not recommended to determine the size of the ring using ribbons, ropes and pieces of paper. There will almost certainly be an error.
6. If your knuckle is slightly wider than the knuckle itself, rings with a comfortable fit will work for you.

When choosing wedding rings made of titanium, remember that you cannot change its size, as in the case of gold or silver. This, perhaps, is almost the only drawback of titanium.

1. Strength. Considering that people almost never take off their wedding rings, this is an extremely important factor. In titanium rings, you can safely do all your homework. This is not to say that they do not scratch at all, but compared to similar jewelry made of silver, gold and even platinum, they are much more resistant to all kinds of damage.
2. The color of the ring over time remains exactly the same as it was originally. It will not darken or fade. In addition, it does not leave dark marks on the finger.
3. Decor. If you think the traditional steel sheen of titanium is too gloomy and boring for an engagement ring, you can choose jewelry with various decorative elements. It can be, for example, a gemstone insert. Also, modern technologies make it possible to give jewelry made of titanium a noble shade of platinum, mysterious purple, deep blue, cheerful pink. In stores you can even find frankly brutal black titanium. It is also called black gold.
4. Price. Often it is she who is the decisive factor when buying wedding rings made of titanium. Externally, titanium wedding rings can be no different from platinum ones.But at the same time, the price for them will differ at times in a smaller direction.
5. Hypoallergenic. Titanium products are not afraid of time. They are not subject to oxidation and rust. Titanium is resistant to all kinds of chemical reactions. In addition, this is just a salvation for those who are allergic to silver and even gold alloys.
6. Ease of maintenance. Titanium rings do not require any special care. It is enough to clean and polish them from time to time. At the same time, the period between cleanings is much longer than for products made of other metals.

Many newlyweds choose to engrave their wedding rings with a wedding theme. Some prefer sages quotes in Latin, some ask to decorate the rings with their initials. But there are those who prefer rings with a wedding man. This is a specially engraved pattern.

As you know, the ancient Slavs were pagans and worshiped Yarila - the god of the Sun. Therefore, it is it that is often found on amulets found during excavations. A fairly common drawing - the sun between two crosses - is a philosophical interpretation of the life cycle - the movement of the luminary from dawn to noon as to the highest point and a gradual fading until sunset. Such titanium rings must be paired. They symbolize the strength of feelings and the seriousness of intentions.

In the modern world, wedding rings with a Slavic theme can become the first brick in building a family, a relationship between two people who love each other. Titanium rings, especially paired ones, will become a symbol of procreation with the energy support of ancestors.
