Over the years mens jewelry has taken on a new look. Not that many years ago men just were not known to wear a lot of jewelry but now it seems strange to see a man without jewelry. For the modern groom, the choice of the perfect wedding band has become an important thing and many are deciding that instead of the traditional platinum or gold band, they want the look of the titanium wedding band.
The wedding band made out of gold or platinum is heavier than and not as smooth to the touch as the titanium wedding band. The titanium band has the appearance of either white gold or brushed platinum.
The cost of the titanium wedding band is much more affordable than the wedding bands made of white or or platinum. Even though this is a more economical choice the band looks like it is very expensive and has a very exquisite look.
The natural state of titanium is a medium gray in color. The titanium metal is extremely strong. Actually it is about seven times stronger than platinum and when compared to steel it is about the same. The look of the band is a polished shine and is just as pleasant to look at as platinum or white gold even though it is so much stronger.
One of the best reasons that the titanium wedding band is growing in popularity amount today’s modern man is that the properties of the metal are of a hypoallergenic nature. This means that the metal does not adversely react when in contact with skin. It also will not change in color over time because of oxidation and it does not tarnish.
There are basically two different grades of titanium alloy; chemically pure and commercially pure. The titanium wedding bands are made from CP grade titanium or commercially pure. These are graded with a numbering system of 1 to 4. The grade 1 titanium is the softest grade and the hardest grade is then the 4. The strength of the titanium and the number of its grade is controlled by the oxygen added to the metal.
