If you decide you want to wear titanium rings, because they are cheaper than gold or silver, there are a few points to consider before you get your cash out of your pocket. First of all, the precious metals including gold, silver and platinum will have marks of authenticity and purity stamped on them. For titanium rings – or indeed any other kind of titanium jewelry – there are no such benchmarks. Titanium does not need to be stamped with any kind of symbol, so it pays to do a little research before you go shopping.
We found some absolutely rock bottom prices for cheap titanium rings for men and women, the prices are pretty unbelievable if you want our honest opinion.

If you go to a jewelry store and you are offered a titanium ring with a boast of 99% purity, are you going to be impressed? If you are, leave the store and go and continue doing research. All titanium rings should be greater than 99% purity, otherwise you have to consider what cheap metals are being used to make up the rest of the alloy. So you should definitely not be charged any extra for a claim of high purity; remember for gold and silver, the precious metal must be mixed with other cheaper metals to confer better physical properties on the jewelry. Both gold and silver are very soft metals and totally unsuitable for jewelry in their pure form.
The next piece of sales patter you may have to contend with is the need, or otherwise, for a special coating on your shiny new titanium ring. Again, this is something that stems from the coatings used on precious metal jewelry to protect the surface from tarnish; or to produce a uniformity of color, which is done with the rhodium plating of white gold, since white gold itself is often anything but white!
Titanium is a non-reactive, very inert metal and will not require any kind of coating at all. So be wise and don’t allow a salesperson to dupe you into buying any expensive extras that are not necessary.
It is a good idea to take a small magnet with you when you are buying a titanium ring. Titanium is only very weakly magnetic, but can often look like stainless steel. If you are a risk taker, and feel comfortable buying jewelry from small markets and shops rather than large reputable stores, you could be offered a stainless steel ring and told it is titanium. Your trusty magnet will immediately end that little deception. Steel sticks; titanium doesn’t.
The final thing to look out for, when buying titanium rings is what range of sizes are available. Titanium is an incredibly tough metal, which is great for men who do rough manual jobs and want hard jewelry to match. The problem is that the hardness of this metal makes it virtually impossible to size up or down. You basically need to find a ring that fits straight from the shelf.
After following all these tips, it is then up to you to decide on style and color; black titanium rings are very popular at the moment, as are blue ones, and titanium engagement rings are starting to gain in popularity too, but you might feel like getting a very bespoke design done just for you. After all, this ring is so tough it is going to last a very long time!
