Mens Wedding Bands - How to Pick a Keeper

2008-03-07T11:09:00.000-08:00

Selecting a mens wedding band follows the same line of thinking implemented when selecting a suitable partner for marriage. When casually dating, you can try on different personalities, character traits, likes and dislikes with little to no harm inflicted on either party. But when you are looking for marriage, certain elements need to heed more attention than others. Goals, values and morals are as important as ambition, responsibility and accountability. Picking the right man to build and share a life with is the foundation for a wonderful relationship. Once you've found the man that completes you, picking a ring that completes him should be as important to you as finding the perfect wedding dress.

When you are in the market for a mens wedding band, you must consider his style, his build, and more importantly, the demeanor in which he portrays himself. First you'll want to assess his build. Does he have a large frame, medium or small build? If he's tall and fairly broad, a substantial ring with a wider, heavier band such as a tungsten carbide ring in the 7-10mm range would be ideal. A more slender man or one who is of short to medium height, would be better suited in a slimmer band, like a 3-6mm width.

Once you know the right width, you can then narrow your choices down further by identifying the type of mens wedding band that best suits his personality. If he is a sophisticated man that values quality and has the best TV, car, sunglasses and clothes, then selecting a wedding ring that caters to his desire for the best is top of list. You will most certainly want to look at wedding bands that are substantial in weight, keep a lustrous shine and possibly even embellished with diamonds or other gemstones. Tungsten rings are quite popular among this group, as they feel and appear luxurious and with the nearly indestructible quality they are known for. Mens wedding bands made from tungsten carbide will certainly exude confidence, class and most importantly, quality. If on the other hand your guy is lighthearted, values a sense of humor, carefree and spontaneous a lightweight titanium ring may be more suitable for him. Titanium rings are ultra light yet incredibly strong. They can be simple in design or carry a creative and stylish flare.

Style can also be determined by his noting his preference of metal. There are many popular metals that range in price, durability and appearance. Platinum rings are quite expensive and often times selected purely for the assumed prestige. On the other hand, a man who values quality over prestige may be more pleased with a tungsten ring. Far less expensive than platinum rings, tungsten weddings bands portray that same luster and shine as platinum, but have far more resilience to damage and destruction. They are a bit heavier as well, which is ideal for a man who likes a solid weight. Titanium rings are nearly as durable as tungsten rings but are significantly lighter in weight, hypoallergenic and offer a lighter grey color, or they can be shined to an almost reflective tone.

Another popular choice involves enhancing metals with other metals or gemstones. Titanium can be combined with white gold, yellow gold or platinum to create a more elaborate look. Diamonds, sapphires and other gemstones can add a unique touch for the refined gentleman.

Knowing your man, his likes, favorite pastimes and even the kind of friends he has can make shopping for a mens wedding band more productive and enjoyable. Taking into consideration what he does, both for business and pleasure can pinpoint a ring style that blends well with his lifestyle.

As a personal shopper, Sam Brown monitors fine jewelry trends, with an emphasis on mens wedding bands, titanium rings and tungsten rings.

Allergic to Your Engagement Ring?

2007-11-04T23:43:00.000-08:00

Buying an engagement ring is when most people begin to learn more about jewelry, or learn more of what they don't know. With the so many options, price points and places the buy rings, it may seem as though you're spinning in circles. More often than not, people think only of price, quality and style when buying an engagement ring or wedding rings. But, the single most important aspect should be the elements. More and more people are finding they are allergic to certain precious metals, specifically nickel alloys used in many gold engagement rings and everyday jewelry. The most common symptom of nickel allergy is contact dermatitis, causing itching, redness, and blisters. Not exactly what you want to propose to your life partner.

According to the June 2007 Issue of Dermatology Nursing, "an estimated 20% of women and 4% of men are affected by contact dermatitis." These numbers may seem nominal, but since 1980 these cases have doubled.

Precious Metals & Engagement Rings - What's in my Ring?

Precious metals used in jewelry are comprised of metal alloys which are mixtures of various elements including hydrogen, oxygen, copper, niobium, nickel, iron and gold. Traditionally, engagement rings have been made of gold. White gold, sterling silver, platinum and newer metals like tungsten and titanium have made their way onto the jewelry scene both for reasons of style, but also to address allergic reactions.

I've Worn Gold Before - Why Am I Allergic Now?
Many people, especially women, have found that their skin has a reaction to gold jewelry. This reaction is not really to the gold itself, but to the nickel that is in the chemical composition of gold. This reaction is caused by a sensitivity to nickel that builds up over time. Women begin wearing jewelry at a much earlier age than men and are more prone to allergic reactions, however with the increase in body piercing popularity in both sexes, the number of men effected by nickel is on the rise too.

Can I Buy A Gold Ring without Nickel?
Most engagement and wedding rings have traditionally been made of 14k or 18k gold. The reason for this is while 24k gold is pure, it is extremely soft. Wedding rings and everyday jewelry are exposed to water, sweat, scratches and dings that 24k gold can't stand up against. The other elements that are contained in 14k or 18k gold for both gold and white gold include different alloys such as silver, zinc, copper, and nickel. It's these other alloys that cause the allergic reactions, nickel being the biggest culprit. Nickel is added to make gold more durable, so if you try to buy a 24k gold ring, it will be pure but it won't be very durable.

How Do I Ensure My Engagement Ring Won't Cause A Rash?
There are many options in hypoallergenic jewelry. Platinum and titanium rings are not only beautiful alternatives to gold, but they are more pure.

What's the Difference Between Platinum and Titanium Rings?
Platinum - Platinum is known for being the rarest and the heaviest of the precious metals. It's also the most expensive. It's typically 90-95% pure and weighs twice as much as gold. It doesn't tarnish like gold and doesn't loose its luster over time. Platinum is durable but it can be scratched. There are many positives for platinum, but it's not for everyone. Price is a barrier to many, and some women while they admire the rare and expensive qualities of platinum, the weight on their finger gets tiresome over time.

Titanium Rings - Titanium engagement rings and wedding rings are becoming more popular. Titanium is 99+% pure and is inert and therefore completely corrosion resistant. It does not react to salt water, sunlight, or any body chemistry and it is 100% hypoallergenic. Titanium rings never tarnish like silver or gold and are more durable than any other element. Titanium is also extremely lightweight, and more affordable than platinum. Platinum, gold and silver must sacrifice style and function to reduce weight and costs. Titanium provides the stylish rich grey tones of platinum at a much more attractive price. It's also an excellent choice for tension set rings, check out this titanium ring as an example. Titanium is at the forefront in the designer jewelry community. No other metal has experienced such a dramatic rise in popularity as titanium.

Grooms Opt for Titanium Rings Due to Meteoric Rise in Precious Metals

2007-10-30T10:33:00.000-07:00

Contemporary Metals Offer Affordable Alternatives for Men's Wedding Bands

(Modesto, CA) October 29, 2007 – Titanium-Jewelry.com, a leading online retailer of titanium rings, tungsten rings and unique titanium jewelry, today announced that affordable and stylish alternatives are highly demanded as price increases in precious metals limit options for grooms seeking men's wedding bands.

Across the United States and abroad, many grooms have discovered that they are being priced out of the market when shopping for traditional wedding bands in gold and platinum. The average person does not pay attention to the price of gold, platinum and other precious metals on a regular basis. As such, most do not know that the cost of men's wedding bands made of platinum or gold, have tripled in cost over the last 5 years. "It can be shocking when a young man heads into the jewelry store with his fiancée and eyes a basic platinum wedding band selling for $2,000, or more. With the rising costs of weddings, many grooms simply can no longer afford the traditional platinum wedding band," stated Ron Yates, founder of Titanium-Jewelry.com and owner of Yates & Co Jewelers in Modesto, CA.

The reason for the dramatic increase in men's wedding bands made of white gold or platinum is due to the rising cost of precious metals, which have increased by as much as 30% over the past year. The price of gold has risen from $600 per ounce to over $750 per ounce. Platinum has also increased from $1100 to over $1400 per ounce since this time last year. According to Curtis Hesler, editor of the Forbes Newsletter, The Professional Timing Service, "The first quarter of next year, could see gold push the $800 level." The increases in the precious metal market, has negatively affected the choices available to many couples looking to select wedding or other fine jewelry.

The solution: modern, alternative metals such as Titanium, Black Titanium and Tungsten Carbide. For the past several years many younger grooms have been purchasing titanium and tungsten wedding bands mainly for their durability and hypoallergenic qualities. However, cost is becoming the primary motivating factor. With the increasing number of younger grooms being priced out of gold or platinum wedding bands, couples are overwhelmingly choosing contemporary metals. Wedding bands made of Titanium, Black Titanium, Tungsten Carbide and Carbon Fiber, are viable choices for wedding bands and wedding rings, offering customers affordable quality and modern styling.

Platinum wedding bands for men in 6mm widths are selling for $2,000 and more. Titanium rings and tungsten rings in the same widths can be purchased at a fraction of the cost. A leading online retailer of contemporary jewelry, Titanium-Jewelry.com, has many styles of tungsten and titanium wedding bands for as low as $79.

"We've seen a huge increase in men choosing contemporary metals for their wedding rings. Just three or four years ago most guys never heard of titanium rings or tungsten rings," stated Yates. "Now couples are considering these rings as a viable choice for their wedding rings. They like modern designs, durability and the affordability," Yates concluded.

Titanium-Jewelry.com has many styles and price points to choose from, offering couples more affordable solutions, without compromising quality, style or comfort. For more information on titanium rings and tungsten rings, please navigate to http://www.titanium-jewelry.com.

2007-10-29T12:48:00.000-07:00

You've waded your way through the first few steps of wedding to do's and now you've paused for the ultimate in wedding decisions, the rings. Titanium rings, Gold, Silver, Platinum, Tungsten and even Palladium are among the many choices available today. Wedding and engagement rings are not only symbolic of your love and commitment, they are the one lasting physical piece of the big day that stays with day in and day out, year after year. It therefore, should be not only your most important decision, but the one that you find the most pleasure in.

Tens years from now, you won't care if you had mints or nuts, pink or blush, the red toaster or the silver one; but you will care if your ring has tarnished, scratched, bent or corroded. Selecting rings that are quality, timeless and representative of your unique tastes is of the utmost importance. Weddings are also the single most expensive event you'll probably experience in your lifetime, even a college degree can run a distant second behind most weddings today. So every dollar needs to be weighed and appropriately distributed. You don't have to limit yourself to luxurious wedding rings with luxurious price tags, there are many options and styles at a variety of price points. Ensuring you get the highest quality and the rings that best fit your tastes and budgets requires a little homework, but this article will help you make your way down the aisle of wedding rings to selecting the perfect rings for your lifetime commitment.

Selecting The Ring - Style & Color
When it comes to wedding rings, you have to keep in mind that despite the special day associated with the ring; this will be an everyday ring. You need to ensure that the style, weight, form and fit result in comfort and a look suitable for everyday wear, from casual to elegant. Simple bands are always a solid choice, whether you're in favor of gold or silver, titanium rings or tungsten rings, you can never go wrong with simple elegance. Whatever metal you decide, make sure it fits with your lifestyles. If your active, a fan of the water or tend to work with your hands often, you may want to stay clear of gold which is a softer metal and more prone to corrosion and look towards titanium rings, which are corrosion resistant and adverse to reactions with salt, water and skin. If the cool gray of titanium is not of your liking and brilliance and sheen are important, consider tungsten rings. Tungsten carbide rings are not only exotic, but they are really the only metal that can be permanently polished. Unlike gold, platinum, silver, and even titanium rings, Tungsten carbide rings hold the brilliance and shine, looking freshly polished forever.

Comfort & Fit
Titanium rings are extremely lightweight, almost as light as aluminum, offering comfort to those who are not used to wearing rings. When you are wearing a titanium wedding band, it's not uncommon to forget you have a ring on your finger. Tungsten rings are on the opposite end and a bit heavier, perfect for those who like the feel of heavy jewelry. In between you'll have gold, silver and platinum. It really is a matter of personal preference and lifestyle.

Quality Selections
Whether you decide upon white gold, yellow gold rings, platinum, titanium rings or tungsten rings, the most important part of the purchase is the quality. The right style or look is irrelevant if the ring is not made to last through the years. For gold, 24k is the most pure, it is also the softest. Sticking to 18k is best if you want to avoid scratches. Platinum is a good choice for those who tend to wear both silver and gold, but it is also the most expensive of options. A better alternative to the warmer tones of gold, is titanium and tungsten rings. Titanium rings are ideal for people who are not used to wearing rings as they are not only light weight, they are very strong. Tungsten rings are also nearly indestructible, and adverse to scratches, dents and other imperfections.

Additional Features
If a simple band is not your style, you can customize and modify your wedding rings with the addition of precious gems, diamonds and other stones as well as include different finishes such as multifaceted or two tone rings. When it comes to gems and stones, aesthetics and symbolism aside, there is a reason people go with diamonds, they are the toughest stone, ranking a 10 on the Mohs Hardness Scale. This scale measures the resistance to abrasion and fracture under pressure.

Diamonds are expensive and while diamonds are forever they are not for everyone.
Rubies are a good choice as well, red in color and symbolic of love, they are rated a 9 on the Mohs scale.
Sapphires are also a 9, with Emeralds holding a strong 8.
Opals while beautiful for their rainbow like color, are not ideal for your wedding ring as they are only a 6 and too soft for everyday wear.
As long as you select a stone that is at least a 7 or higher you shouldn't have any reason to worry. Just keep in mind this is an everyday ring, designed to be worn for the rest of your life.

So the higher the quality, the harder the stone, the better off your investment will be long term. Always keep in mind that stones are priced by the 4c's cut, color, clarity and caret.

Titanium Rings - The Obvious Choice for Discerning Tastes

2007-10-23T08:49:00.000-07:00

When searching for titanium rings, be it for a man or a woman, you can take pride in your choice and know that you are selecting not only a superior ring, but one of character, history and charm. Titanium rings draw their origins from the 18th century when titanium was first discovered.

Derived from Greek Mythology, the titanos (Titans) the sons of the Earth goddess, titanium represents extreme and superior strength. Titanium rings are unique in that they are lightweight, like aluminum yet stronger than steel, embodying the highest ratio between strength and density of all metallic materials. Of particular importance for jewelry, light weight translates to comfort and value. The strength of titanium rings allows for design capabilities that were otherwise impossible. Tension set rings made of titanium, provide maximum security for the stone; something gold, silver and platinum cannot compete with. More importantly, at least for the fashion minded, titanium rings are sleek, sexy and exotic.

Titanium rings provide stylish grey tones similar to platinum, but are more attractive in price. With its rich luster, many designers offer cutting edges titanium rings. Titanium is at the forefront in the designer jewelry community. No other metal has experienced such a dramatic rise in popularity as titanium. Leave gold and silver to the Jones, Titanium Rings are for those who know luxury, style and liken themselves to none other than Greek gods.

So What Makes Titanium So Unique?
It's no wonder that titanium was given its name. No other element has had as much impact in as vast and diverse environments as titanium. “Few materials have as much potential for dynamic growth during the 1990's, and beyond, as titanium. It's on the cutting edge of some really exciting and extraordinary developments, many of which are in newly emerging technologies." - Sen. John Glenn. From the ocean floor to the stars and beyond, titanium has been at the core of more life changing devices, from medical implants to space shuttles, to the wonderful world of fine art and jewelry. With its unique combination of beauty, strength, light weight and bio-compatibility, Titanium rings, like this Black Cable Titanium Ring, provide the ideal balance perfect for a king, Greek God or man or woman of the house. Ego aside, titanium rings are worth more than their weight in gold. Titanium commands the highest levels of quality for a variety of consumer products such as sports equipment, art and architecture, medical, automotive and marine supplies, and of course, jewelry.

As the first new element to enter the noble metals arena of platinum and gold in over 3,000 years, Titanium is among the elite. Its inert qualities make it completely corrosion resistant and 100% hypoallergenic. Displaying no reactions to salt water, sunlight, or any body chemistry, titanium is the preferred material for surgical tools, implants, pacemaker cases and other internal casings. Titanium rings are also the ideal choice for active and sensitive skin individuals. Often times, people allergic to gold or silver or who have skin sensitivities are steered towards titanium jewelry. Titanium rings, unlike silver and gold never tarnish, leaving your ring looking as flawless and new as it was from day one.

Similar to other industries where titanium entered the scene, with jewelry it is easily the fastest growing category, symbolizing the new standard for excellence. Just look at other industries, for example titanium credit cards and titanium golf clubs. Titanium always means the best, representing the highest standard of excellence and quality. Titanium is pure. Leveraging the World Titanium Council's endorsement of Spectore's titanium, no other conventional material can claim this level of purity. In comparison to 58% purity for 14kt gold and 90% purity for platinum, Spectore’s grey titanium is 99+% commercially pure. If pure metal is of interest for those who have discerning tastes, titanium is the only choice. For the very best selection of titanium rings, I continue to rely on Titanium-Jewelry.com for the best quality, ease of purchase and superior customer service.

Tungsten Rings - Information for Couples Looking to Symbolize an Everlasting Bond

2007-10-22T16:00:00.000-07:00

Tungsten Rings, also known as Tungsten Carbide Rings are growing in popularity as more people become aware of the many benefits they offer. Envision a ring that always looked new, permanently polished and scratch free. With tungsten rings, your wedding ring can maintain the same luster and shine on your 25th anniversary as it had on your first day of marriage.

Tungsten rings are made from a unique process in which Tungsten and Carbide powder are forged together, creating a nearly indestructible ring. Men especially love tungsten rings, although women are learning to embrace them as well for their sleek look, durability and low maintenance traits. Tungsten rings truly offer the perfect combination of strength, style and comfort.

Looks aside, Tungsten rings are not only exotic, but they are really the only metal that can be permanently polished. Unlike gold, platinum, silver, and even titanium rings, Tungsten carbide holds the brilliance and shine, looking freshly polished for years. Slightly heavier than other metals, tungsten rings provide a feeling of substance. A true tungsten carbide ring is skillfully polished using diamond polishing tools and wheels, which creates a permanent luster and polish that is not seen with other metals. Many couples find comfort in the symbolism of tungsten rings, likening the solid, beautiful brilliance to that of their commitment to one another. Nothing expresses an everlasting bond like tungsten rings. Holding claim to the most wear resistant rings available, tungsten rings are 10 times harder than 18k Gold and 5 times harder than steel. Using the Mohs hardness scale (1-10); tungsten measures between 8 and 9 just below Diamonds, which represent the hardest coming in at 10. Nothing represents an everlasting bond like tungsten, especially when paired with a beautiful diamond.

There are many tungsten rings available today from a variety of designers and retailers. When making your selection, you should be aware of the quality. Like any trade, there are those retailers that will try to pass off low quality imitations as quality products. Many retailers claim to have quality tungsten rings, but you must make sure that you are getting true tungsten carbide rings. You make ask yourself, "what's the difference between tungsten rings and tungsten carbide rings?" Even though the names are often used interchangeably, you want to make sure that the ring you are selecting is tungsten carbide. Tungsten rings that don't have carbide, tungsten only rings, is really nothing more than a steel ring. It is still hard, but it's the carbide that makes the ring scratch proof. A true tungsten carbide ring, can only be scratched by a diamond or a product containing the mineral corundum. An easy way to tell, is if a ring has carved details, it is not a tungsten carbide ring. Another area of concern is tungsten rings containing cobalt. Cobalt can develop oxidation spots that cannot be removed or polished out and the ring can even cause a negative reaction with your skin.

One of the best ways to ensure you are getting the best ring at the best price is to go with a reputable retailer, like Titanium-Jewelry.com. Take a look at the customer testimonials, the amount of information, resources and inventory of quality products that are made available. Nothing is more reassuring to me, than information, service and knowing that customer service extends beyond an easily navigatable website. Still, some people are leery when it comes to online shopping, but there really are a number of benefits to online shopping. Once you find a site that has excellent customer service and top quality products, you really are getting the best of both worlds. By reducing the overhead associated with offline stores, you benefit from the reduced expenses which are often passed along to the consumer in greater savings. These unique wedding rings epitomize today's man and tungsten rings can be enjoyed and cherished forever.

Make a Statement with Your Appearance & Add Glimmer to an Ordinary Wardrobe

2007-08-30T15:57:00.000-07:00

- There is no simpler way to give life to a drab appearance than tasteful, elegant and transitional jewelry, like black titanium rings
. One of the easiest ways to spice up a wardrobe is with accessories. For men, there are fewer accessories to choose from, but that means making a statement is even easier. -

One of the easiest ways to spice up a wardrobe is with accessories. For men, there are fewer accessories to choose from, but that means making a statement is even easier. Take jewelry for example. A man wearing a stylish watch or sleek ring, immediately displays intrigue. It says he has a personality, an attention to detail and knows how to portray his inner self. Jewelry creates a focal point. It draws the eye in and dazzles the beholder. Women love trying to read a man, why not make it a little easier? I am all for making fashion as easy as possible, especially for men. I personally enjoy seeing simplicity in apparel, but simplicity does not mean careless.

More often than not, men have a difficult time navigating the world of fashion and style which leads to blatant avoidance. I have many clients that come to me for advice on selecting clothing that can easily pass for casual attire without looking like they just rolled out of bed. To impress a woman, especially a woman who cares about her look, clothes do make a difference. I would never promote wearing something just because it is in style, but I always recommend promoting a self image that is unique to each person. A white t-shirt with a pair of jeans can be staples for anyone, yet can be customized and enhanced with the addition of a nice pair of shoes or even something as simple as a unique ring or classy watch. There is no simpler way to give life to a drab appearance than tasteful, elegant and transitional jewelry, like black titanium rings
.

Take the Timoku grey and black titanium ring from designer Edward Mirell. This ring is no ordinary ring, it can take an ordinary outfit and create a meaningful fashion statement plus an excellent conversation starter. Made with the same technique used for ancient Japanese swords, this grey and black titanium ring symbolizes the joining of souls and the blending of personalities. Due to the nature of the material and process used to design the Timoku ring, each grey and black titanium ring will have a slightly different pattern, lending to originality. Now, I don’t know about you, but if I saw a man wearing a ring like this and he told me the meaning behind the ring, I’d certainly take notice and maintain attention.

Dressing with intent makes a statement about the individual. What you wear and how you wear it says a lot about how you feel about yourself. If you just throw something on without effort or thought, your are essentially projecting low self esteem or lack of interest. Now, you don’t have to be decked to the nines, but like most things in life, it’s the little things that leave the biggest impressions. That’s why I like to utilize jewelry as the mainstay for any outfit, for men or women. Some people can get away with lots of jewelry and others fair better with the less is more theory. Either way, when worn tastefully, jewelry can and will make a statement, and it doesn’t need to be plastered across your derriere to do so.

What to Look for in Men’s Wedding Bands

2007-08-09T22:24:00.000-07:00

When shopping for men’s wedding bands there are many options to choose from. Style, comfort and character in wedding jewelry, brings to light a rising fashion trend in men’s wedding bands. One of my favorite shopping adventures revolves around the hunt for men’s jewelry. The excitement that comes over my clients is contagious; some are more excited about picking the right men’s wedding band for the hubby to be, than their own.

When it comes to wedding bands, a popular choice among couples is to design their own bands, but selecting a style that is unique and characteristic for each person is just as special. Wedding bands today don’t just come in gold, newer metals such as titanium, tungsten and platinum are gaining attention among the newly engaged. Some of the hottest wedding bands for men today, include cutting edge styles in exciting metals.

Men’s wedding bands today don’t differ all that much from women’s wedding bands, as most can be worn be either sex. Selecting the right wedding band can be a wonderful experience and a great way to set the tone for the many days and years that lie ahead. When looking for a men’s wedding band, consideration should be given to size, weight and quality, plus color and cut, if diamonds or other gems are to be included. The weight of the band is key as comfort is critical since wedding bands are worn on a daily basis and meant for long term wear. There are numerous styles, but one of my personal favorites that gets a high rank from clients, is the titanium ring.

Titanium represents a growing trend in fine jewelry, and it’s quickly becoming the preferred metal for wedding bands in particular. Due to its lightweight, corrosion resistant qualities and hypoallergenic characteristics, titanium rings are respected both by designers as well as the individuals who wear them. Fashionable, sleek, lightweight and extremely strong, a titanium ring makes an ideal men’s wedding bands. Available in a variety of styles such as natural titanium rings, exotic black titanium rings and hardcore tungsten carbide rings.

Men’s wedding bands are often selected based on weight and what he does for a living. Gold which is a heavy metal, is also more prone to scratches and thinning over time, whereas with a titanium ring, not only is it much lighter in weight, it is more durable. Style plays a significant role as well. There is the classic band which is simple in form, or more intricate designs such as two tone rings like the titanium ring with a gold inlay. Diamonds can also be included, as well as brushed or hammered finishes. Regardless of your style or preference, you can find the right ring for your man at affordable prices. Titanium-Jewelry.com, one of my standby retailers has a wide selection of men’s wedding bands starting as low as $94, allowing you to find the ideal titanium ring for your special day regardless of budget.

Once you selected the men’s wedding band of choice, you will need to ensure the proper size. Many people get nervous when it comes to sizing, but it really is a non issue if done properly. Ideally, you will want to have the ring finger professionally sized, but if this is not an option, no need to worry. Titanium-jewelry.com offers comfort fit rings. This means that the inside of the ring has a slight roundness, allowing the center of the titanium ring to fit closer to the finger than the outer edges. Choosing a comfort fit titanium ring reduces pinching that can occur with a flat design, making the ring more comfortable. A comfort fit ring will be looser on the finger since it is not flat on the inside but rather rounded, making a more comfortable fit. Therefore, when you are getting sized use the narrow finger sizer, which is 3 mm wide, (as opposed to the wider one of 6.5 mm.) This will provide a more accurate finger size. Titanium-jewelry.com will even provide you a plastic finger sizer for free. Additionally, they have a “Ring for Life” program which features an exclusive Lifetime Sizing policy. For more information on this program or men’s wedding bands, please visit http://www.Titanium-Jewelry.com.
