Modern Choice For Mens Jewelry And Wedding Bands

By Andrew Jacobsen

Mens jewelry has changed a lot over the years. It wasn't that long ago that men did not wear jewelry but a man without his jewelry today looks a little naked. For the groom, the wedding band is an important item and rather than gold or platinum, the modern groom is choosing a titanium wedding band.

The wedding band that is made of titanium is smoother to the touch and much lighter than the traditional choices of white gold or platinum. When you look at the titanium wedding band it looks like it is either a brushed platinum or a white gold.

The cost of the titanium wedding band is much more affordable than other choices for the modern groom. Even though it is more affordable, the appearance of the band is superb and looks very expensive.

Medium gray is the natural color of the titanium metal. This is one wedding band that will last for a the duration of a very long marriage because it is about the same strength as steel and about seven times stronger than platinum. The wedding band is as nice in appearance as platinum or white gold plus it has a polished shine.

The properties of the titanium metal are hypoallergenic so this makes it a good choice especially for the man whose skin is sensitive to metals. The titanium metal will not tarnish over time and will not be affected by oxidation and change color besides not causing any negative reactions when in contact with skin.

The titanium alloy has two distinct grades which are commercially pure or chemically pure. Wedding bands made of titanium are the CP or commercially pure grade of metal. The grades for the metal run from 1 to 4 with 4 being the hardest grade and 1 being the softest grade of metal. The grade of the metal depends on the amount of oxygen that is added. - 30299
