The Secret of Titanium Jewelry

What is Titanium?

The name titanium was derived from the Titans of Greek mythology, known for their extreme and superior strength. Titanium is naturally a platinum gray color. By applying heat or electricity in the manufacturing process, the special ability to reflect light in unique ways is enhanced and the surface of the metal becomes especially beautiful to see. This process, called anodizing, causes the creation of a surface film on the metal called titanium oxide and it is this oxide that provides a surface hue similar to the luminescent colors of oil on water, a peacock's feather, or a rainbow.

Titanium has had a greater impact on the progress of mankind than any other single element known. It has allowed us to probe the depths of the seas and the infinite vastness of space, and it has made possible advances in medicine and health care never before imagined.

Titanium is a brilliant white metal in its pure form and one of the most abundant elements in the EarthÕs crust. Obtained from rutile, ilmenite and sphens, as well as vitanites and many iron ores, titanium is lighter than steel but just as strong. It is this amazing character of Titanium that has made it the darling metal of the aerospace industry. It can be mixed with several other metals to make specialty alloys, and is used in industrial machinery where the critical combination of lightness with super strength is essential.

Titanium is more resistant and has the highest strength to weight ratio of ANY known element, which is why 85% of the Space Shuttles structure is titanium. Titanium is extremely durable and strong. In jewelry applications, titaniumÕs strength allows for design capabilities that were otherwise impossible. Titanium can be worn throughout active and demanding lifestyles without any concern for wear and tear, as it is virtually impervious to the beating it takes in any environment. Titanium survives in its original lustrous state under conditions that would destroy normal gold or silver jewelry.

Titanium is the most biocompatible element known to man, and therefore the material of preference in the medical world for surgical tools, implants, pacemaker cases, and other internal casings. It will not react to ANY chemistry other than Hydrofluoric acid. (That means itÕs completely non-reactive to salt water, chlorine, detergents, alkaloids, or body acidsÉ not any, not ever!!). Pure titanium is 100% hypoallergenic. It wonÕt react with any part of the body, making it a great choice for even those persons most sensitive to other materials. And, unlike silver, titanium will never tarnish!

Titanium Rings and Bracelets

Titanium may be the perfect metal for rugged, masculine-look jewelry that creates a unique fashion statement. Titanium jewelry is the perfect combination of beauty, strength and durability; sporty enough to wear any time, beautiful enough for special occasions. It offers that unique look for todayÕs contemporary male.

Jewelry That Looks and Lasts

Titanium is an ancient mineral that has become a most modern super- alloy. Valued for use in spacecraft and aerospace, its light weight and durable finish make it ideal for jewelry that lasts a lifetime. With a luster that renews with a light rubbing, the cool gray satin finish emotes a subtle color palette similar to the luminescent colors of oil on water, a peacock's feather, or a rainbow, providing a most exotic look.

The Distinction of Wearing an Exotic Metal

Worn as the entire outer coating of the SR-71 Blackbird spy plane, Titanium is more resistant and has the highest strength to weight ratio of ANY known element, which is why 85% of the Space ShuttleÕs structure is also titanium. The name titanium was derived from the Titans of Greek mythology, known for their extreme and superior strength and this is the image imparted to the discriminating man who wears it.

Titanium: The Metal of Medicine and Health

Titanium is the most biocompatible element known to man, and therefore the material of preference for surgical tools, implants, pacemaker cases, and other internal casings. It will not react to ANY chemistry other than Hydrofluoric acid. (That means itÕs completely non-reactive to salt water, chlorine, detergents, alkaloids, or body acidsÉ not any, not ever!!). Pure titanium is 100% hypoallergenic. It wonÕt react with any part of the body, making it a great choice for even those persons most sensitive to other materials.

Can a Titanium Ring be Engraved or Stretched?

A local jeweler using standard engraving tools can engrave most Titanium jewelry. The engraving will not be as deep as in softer materials but will outlast most other inscriptions you find on any other type jewelry. Ring stretching is usually not viable for 6/4, aircraft grade Titanium and should never be attempted if the ring is designed with an inlay of any kind. Stretching an inlayed ring will cause a separation at the joining point of the inlayed material resulting in damage to the item.

How Do I Care for My Titanium Jewelry?

Titanium can be cleaned with any non-abrasive soap or cleaner. Anodized or colored products are best cleaned with warm soapy water, then dried with a soft tissue. This will restore it to the same level of optical purity and display the original vivacity of colors that are the signature of Titanium jewelry.
