Titanium
Titanium is a light, strong, and corrosion-resistant metal. Titanium offers you seven times the strength of platinum at about 1/3 of the weight. It is the hardest natural metal on earth and therefore offers more scratch resistance than gold or silver. In addition, titanium is also hypoallergenic. When ordering titanium rings, be extra sure about your ring size. The biggest drawback of titanium rings is that they cannot be sized by traditional ring sizing methods. While we cannot size or cast in Titanium on our custom pieces, we do work with a world class manufacturer of wedding bands that can customize Titanium rings. In their standard stock rings, they offer trade back programs to get a different size if your finger size changes throughout your lifetime, (like most peoples do). So, if you love Titanium, just chat with us and we can fill you in on that program.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is a low cost alternative to traditional metals. It is naturally hypoallergenic and will not rust or tarnish. Stainless Steel will not break or bend under normal usage and is stronger than any other alloy. It does scratch, but the scratches can be polished out, just like on your stainless steel watch bands. It cannot, however, be sized.
Cobalt Chrome
Cobalt has a similar look to platinum, with great strength and light weight. Because of its temperature stability, cobalt alloys are often used in engine turbines and surgical implants. While we cannot size or cast in Cobalt on our custom pieces, we do work with a world class manufacturer of wedding bands that can customize Cobalt rings. In their standard stock rings, they offer trade back programs to get a different size if your finger size changes throughout your lifetime, (like most peoples do). So, if you love Cobalt, just chat with us and we can fill you in on that program.
Zirconium
Zirconium is utilized in nuclear reactors and explosive wartime applications. It is very resistant to decay and heat. While most commonly mined from South Africa and Australia, zirconium has also been found in meteorites and moon rocks. It is naturally a silver grey color with a darker oxidized layer. While we cannot size or cast in Zirconium on our custom pieces, we do work with a world class manufacturer of wedding bands that can customize Zirconium rings. In their standard stock rings, they offer trade back programs to get a different size if your finger size changes throughout your lifetime, (like most peoples do).
