Titanium wedding rings

Options
My finace isn't actually all that bothered about rings - except to say that he wants a silver coloured one. After we looked in palladium, I found a display case of titanium rings, the cheapest of which was only £40. I spoke to the jewellers and asked about durability, hardness, how long it would wear etc, and whether in general there would be any problems with using it as a wedding ring, and came up with no problems or issues.

My question is this - anyone else looked into this? What do you think of titanium for wedding rings, and has anyone heard anything to make them weary? I'm just cautious because £40 is so much cheaper than anything else!

    My OH is having a titanium ring. He wants something a bit more "masculine" (his words!) than a traditional band. It's costing £37, and I know what you mean about it seeming too cheap, but he loves it and they're very hardwearing.

    His logic for liking it so much - robocop was made of Titanium!!!!
    Nobody I'd rather be ;)

    you will be fine with a titanium ring

    I used to work in a jewellers, and I always suggested the groom went for titanium (unless the couple were going for matching rings)
    Its amazingly durable, and hard wearing, dont be worried by the price :)

    The only thing I could see wrong with them is that you can't get them resized if thats ever an issue :D

    My DH has a titanium ring as he uses his hands a lot at work for ligting and carrying etc and it's more hardwearing, we've had no problems with it.

    We got it from www.johngreeddesign.co.uk which is highly recommended on a number of other wedding forums, we ordered several and returned the ones DH didn't want, no problem - the service was excellent.

    At the time we were planning the wedding (which was last Oct) actually we didn't know of any other husband to be who WASN'T having a titanium ring instead of gold/platinum or whatever, so I would say if you go with titanium then it's been well researched and given the thumbs up!

    We both have titanium rings - no problems at all except the resizing thing as OH has lost some weight and his is a bit loose now.

    The colour of mine is the same as my white gold engagement ring.

    Ours are matching and have diamonds in from the beautiful company.
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    My h2b likes the look of a titanium ring, must say they do look more modern and 'masculine'. Plus gold looks quite chavvy on most men IMO xx
  • We have bought purple titanium for our wedding later in the year. They ended up being £200 for the pair from Aus :D
