Ring Retainer
Tungsten, titanium, palladium, platinum, and gold. No we are not describing credit card colors, but the various metals now available for wedding rings. Before selecting or ordering your wedding rings, do you know which metal is best suited to you? Whether you have sensitive skin, an active lifestyle, price considerations, or are just concerned about your wedding ring lasting a life time, these points may help you decide.
Color of the Metal. Do you like yellow gold, the look of shiny white metals, tinted metals, or rose or pink gold? Gold is available as yellow, pink, or white. Palladium and platinum are shiny white metals. Titanium wedding rings are naturally whitish gray but can be tinted various shaded of blues, greys and black. Tungsten has a silvery gray color and is a popular color choice for men.
Hypoallergenic. This is an important consideration for anyone with skin irritations. You don’t need a wedding ring that is going to give you a bad case of eczema every time you wear your ring. Platinum, palladium, and titanium are all hypoallergenic metals.
Purity. This is a measure of just how much of the real metal is in the actual jewelry. So as an example, wedding rings made from palladium, tungsten, titanium, and platinum are between 90 and 95% pure. Compare this to gold jewelry which can be as little as 58% gold for 14 karat gold jewelry, or 75% gold in 18 karat wedding rings.
Surface strength. This is another fairly important factor to consider for a wedding ring. While some metals, such as gold, will lose tiny particles each tine the ring is scratched, other metals like platinum are more impervious. Banging a platinum wedding ring may well leave a mark, but the metal is merely displaced not lost. Titanium wedding rings are considered highly scratch resistant.
Pricing. Palladium is much less expensive than platinum, even though it is from the same family of metals and shares the same important properties necessary for wedding rings. Like platinum, it retains its shine. Palladium wedding rings generally cost about the same as white gold but the palladium will never need to be replated and the white gold will if you want it to retain its luster.
Corrosion proof. Titanium wedding rings are an excellent choice for anyone planning on exposing their hands to harsh chemicals and conditions.
Precious Metals. If you are wanting a wedding ring made from a precious metal then your choices are gold, palladium, platinum, or titanium.
The various metals available for wedding rings ensures that there is a perfect choice for every couple’s lifestyle and budget.
