Titanium Weddings Rings - Why not Gold
Today's fast paced lifestyle lends itself to changes in all aspects of life.
Traditions and family values have varied from ten years ago and are completely
different than thirty years ago. Nowadays most women work, fashion and jewelry
do not have to be originals and everyday living is more casual.
Women working outside the home require wedding bands or sets of wedding rings
that are durable, long lasting and fashionable at the same time. Depending on
the type of job, wear and tear may be excessive on a wedding ring. Titanium
seems to be the best choice when looking for durability. It is rather an
oxymoron because the material is stronger than steel, being used in super
airplanes, but at the same time, it is lighter than gold, much like aluminum.
So if a couple is recently engaged and needs to make a lifetime decision about
the wedding rings or if the woman is replacing her gold wedding band because it
has become worn over the years, titanium may offer superior protection against
damage. In addition, gold rings and bands tend to lose their round shape. They
can become flat on the underneath of the finger, may wear to a very thin line
and even wear to the point of the gold breaking. Titanium, once made into a
ring, does not lose its shape nor does it become flat. As tested in airplanes,
it does not break either.
Moreover, today's environment is one of hazards and toxic materials. People are
exposed to various chemicals on food, in clothing and at the workplace. Bodies
have become more susceptible to irritation and allergies. Even someone, who once
wore gold years ago, may find that when exposed to a particular environment they
may now have a reaction to the gold. Titanium has been found to be
hypoallergenic and without reactions. Of course, when an industry is trying to
promote anything, they try to find ways to sell more products. But in the case
of titanium. it has proved useful in implant surgery. This must be the best
testimonial suggesting that titanium is perfect for one's skin and body.
Price is a serious factor in choosing titanium wedding rings over other metals.
Gold and platinum are precious metals. Coupled with the scarcity issue, they are
also commodities. The prices of these commodities are tied to the futures market
and investors. Thus, the price can be driven up dramatically if a shortage is
suspected. In recent years, the prices of gold and platinum have skyrocketed. At
the time of this writing gold soared to an all time history highest price in
twenty-seven years. Couples looking to keep their savings intact for purchasing
a house or other major expense would readily welcome the price of titanium
wedding rings over gold.
Gold is passé. Yes, it true that many people are still buying gold and will most
likely continue to buy gold but titanium is the "in" thing to do. As more people
become aware of its positive properties and as people see the advertisements,
they will want to have the same as others. And while titanium is not necessarily
a fad, people are purchasing it now because it is different and not as many
people have their wedding rings made out of this new material.
