Titanium Wedding Rings

Experts believe that titanium is a unique metal that has no analogues in the modern world. Scientists predict him a great future. There are legends about him beyond his strength: he is used in the space industry, he made a monument to Yuri Gagarin. And so, relatively recently, it was used to make jewelry, in particular - for wedding rings.

The fashion for wedding rings made of titanium and its relative of tungsten came to us from America. What is this mysterious material and what is their appeal?

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

Impressed by watching the famous saga of the lord of the rings, many men want to buy rings of these materials in order to feel like the masters of the universe. And indeed, their appearance is impressive. Rings of tungsten and titanium can not be called graceful. If you are choosing a pair of wedding rings for yourself, you need to know that thin and narrow they simply do not.

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

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

For the manufacture of tungsten or titanium rings make several blanks. 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 blank will break faster than it deforms. In this regard, the question arises - how to choose the right size of the ring?

If you buy a ring in person in a store, everything is simple: choose by simple selection. If you order the jewelry in the online store or choose a gift for your beloved, here you can offer several solutions to the issue.

1. Take the ring that you or your bride wears on the ring finger and measure its inner diameter with a caliper. The number of millimeters and will denote the size of the ring.
2. Go to the nearest jewelry store or workshop, ask for a fingermeter and find out your size by experience. Here on each copy number is written. It is believed that this is the most reliable way to determine the size.
3. In the same store, you can choose a ring of the width that you are going to buy from titanium, measure and remember the size. However, with this method an error may occur. Due to the fact that different metals have different casting technology, their products may differ and 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 not recommended to determine the size of the ring with ribbons, ropes and pieces of paper. An error will almost certainly occur.
6. If you have a bone on your finger a little wider than the phalanx itself, rings with a comfortable fit are suitable for you.

When choosing a wedding ring made of titanium, remember that it is impossible to change its size, as is the case with gold or silver. This is perhaps the only shortcoming of titanium.

1. Strength. Considering the fact that people practically do not remove the wedding rings, this is an extremely important factor. In the titanium rings you can safely do all the homework. It cannot be said that they do not scratch at all, but compared to similar decorations made of silver, gold and even platinum, they are much more resistant to any kind of damage.
2. The color of the ring with time remains exactly as it was originally. It will not darken and fade. In addition, there are no dark marks on his finger.
3. Registration. If you think the traditional steel luster of titanium is too gloomy and boring for a wedding ring, you can choose jewelry with various decorative elements. This could be, for example, a gemstone insert. Also, modern technologies make it possible to add a noble shade of platinum, a mysterious purple, deep blue, cheerful pink to titanium jewelry. In the shops you can even find frankly brutal black titanium. It is also called black gold.
4. Price. Often, it is she who is the deciding factor when buying wedding rings made of titanium. Externally, titanium wedding rings can be no different from platinum. But at the same time, the price for them will differ significantly in the smaller direction.
5. Hypoallergenic. Titanium products are not scary time. They are not susceptible to oxidation and rust. Titanium is resistant to all kinds of chemical reactions. In addition, it is just a salvation for those who are allergic to alloys of silver and even gold.
6. Easy to care. 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 that of products made from other metals.

Many newlyweds prefer to decorate their wedding rings with an engraving with a wedding theme. Some prefer quotes of sages in Latin, some ask to decorate the rings with their initials. But there are those who prefer wedding rings. This is a specially engraved drawing.

As is known, the ancient Slavs were pagans and worshiped Yarila - the god of the sun. Therefore, it is often found on charms found during excavations. A fairly common pattern - the sun between two crosses - a philosophical interpretation of the life cycle - the movement of the star from dawn to noon as the highest point and gradual extinction until sunset. Such rings made of titanium 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, the relationship between two people loving each other. Titanium rings, especially pair, will become a symbol of procreation with the energy support of ancestors.
