A wedding is about personal taste. There is some tradition expected, but also the happy couple is free to choose rings that best suit their fancies and their lifestyles. Years and years ago, people turned to white gold as a replacement to yellow gold, then the very rich started buying platinum rings and when people saw stars and celebrities wearing the fabulous, sparkling pieces, they wanted it, too.

Black titanium wedding bands for men are actually quite sexy. Whether a simple band or one with gold inlays and even a diamond in the center, there is something sensual about black on a man’s finger. Highly polished black, cut into shapes such as octagons, makes for a very unique band. And for men, titanium may prove the better metal since it resists wearing, stays round and is lightweight. If the man works in a physical job where there is constant wear and tear on his ring, the practical solution is to own a titanium wedding band.

Many women receive both an engagement and wedding band. Diamonds complement black titanium very nicely. In fact, the luster of the diamond against the sparkling effect of the black titanium makes the diamond stand out. Other gemstones may be chosen as well. When choosing a single diamond setting as an engagement ring, the diamond usually stands on top showcasing the size and shape of the diamond. A band can be made to match the engagement setting so the bride has a complete wedding set.

Brides and grooms, who choose single bands only, the black titanium bands may be set with small diamonds in the titanium. Some settings have a larger diamond in the center with two smaller diamonds on either side while others have tiny diamonds all the way around the whole band. Expert titanium jewelers will allow couples to choose their desired patterns whether family crests, simple weaves or picture symbols of significance.

Lastly, many brides are adding a splash of color to their wedding gowns. Titanium is quite bold and daring in this regard as colors such as blue and red go magnificently with the black titanium.
