Titanium Wedding Ring- for the Future and Forever
Executive Summary about Titanium Wedding Ring By Sam Serio & Victor Epand
You can say “forever” with just one ring – if you will make it a titanium wedding ring. The chemical element Titanium (Ti) was named after the Titans, ancient mythological creatures who were more powerful than the Graeco-Roman gods. Think of titanium, then, as the father of all metals, which may be more popular than titanium… but at the same time inferior in integrity and strength. The metal titanium is corrosion-resistant, even against salt water and chlorine, which wear away most other metals. The supremely resistant properties of the element would make a titanium wedding ring basically indestructible.
In fact titanium is used for a variety of beauty and health care products. Zirconium is very similar in composition to titanium, hence zirconium-titanium combinations are used for many pieces of jewelry. Moreover, the titanium metal used for jewelry is hypoallergenic. Many have said that titanium shapes the future of art.

The First, make sure you have white gold and not yellow. Both colors of gold are used as additions on titanium rings. White gold can turn a yellowish color but generally not so yellow as yellow gold. If white gold, the yellowish tarnish should come off and show the true color.
If not, likely the gold is yellow to start. Yes, the gold will look differently against titanium than with metals of other colors. I cannot say that white gold would look yellow since the rings I have seen look either yellow or white, depending on the original color of gold. White should look whiter, in my opinion.If made for sale in the UK, 9kt is a possibility but generally the gold is of higher karat on titanium rings.
Refinshing the ring. Unfortunately, with the innate hardness of titanium even in jewelry alloys, home polishing will not restore the ring. If the gold is white but tarnished to a yellow tinge, you may ask the gold area be plated with rhodium, a very hard and durable white metal often used to preserve white color in white golds. The metal is simply too hard to polish without motorized buffing with the proper buffing wheel and polishing compounds.
