Titanium

Titanium is incredibly hard, lightweight, and resistant to corrosion. Traditionally reserved for the engineering and aerospace industries, titanium has only recently been applied to jewelry and its popularity is growing quickly.

The strength of pure titanium requires that rings be forged out of a solid block of metal. For this reason, titanium rings cannot be resized. Titanium is available in many grades, sometimes alloyed with other metals for even greater strength. This additional strength cannot be appreciated in jewelry, so we suggest you choose jewelry with the purest grade of titanium you can find. The titanium found in Jacob Ruth & Co. wedding bands is 100% pure.

This metal has gained popularity quickly for its incredibly light weight...roughly 1/3 the weight of gold. Many newly married customers tell us that their titanium band was very easy to get used to wearing because of its light weight and comfort.
