Modern Choice For Mens Jewelry And Wedding Bands
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 titanium wedding band is really very cost effective and this makes it a more popular choice for today’s groom. Considering how easy it is to afford the titanium wedding band still has a look of elegance and it does look like it is an expensive item.
The color of titanium is medium gray in is raw state. This is a piece of jewelry that will last for years because of its strength which is a good seven times greater than platinum and is comparable in strength to steel. Even though it is so strong, it has a polished sheen and is every bit as attractive as white gold or platinum.
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.
