Question

What do you think about titanium wedding bands?

Answer 1

cool industrial looking. makes you look like a rebel, non-conformist.

Answer 2

Overrated, overpriced, and generally OTT. Get some white gold ones for a fraction of the price. Nobody will be able to tell anyway.

Answer 3

I think they look rough. Can be dangerous if something happens that the ring needs removing quickly.

For men who need a ring which can take some abuse, go with a 10k yellow gold band.

Answer 4

I think they are great and well worth the money and they hold up well but the only thing my jeweler to me was that they cant be re sized so if your fingers get bigger then you have to get a whole new band

Answer 5

They are the way to go and well worth the amount.

Answer 6

I personally like the thought behind the titanium (lasts forever, like the marriage should) but I don't like the finish. I personally like the shine that sterling silver offers as opposed to the matte finish of the titanium.

Answer 7

Titanium is a good choice for rings.  It is strong and lightweight and often less expensive than gold.  Emergency room equipment has no problem cutting them off as easily as they cut off gold rings.  Despite misconceptions, they can be re-sized although not all jewelers will do it.

Answer 8

Lovely and very strong. Titanium lasts forever and cant be broken or scratched. I think it's more romantic than gold to have titanium. The only problem is that you can only wear titanium or silver or white gold jewelery with it

Answer 9

They are great!!! My future husband is going to have one and he loved it from the day we bought it. They are a bit more, but worth it, especially if your man works with his hands a LOT!

Answer 10

My husband has one.  It's a very lightweight metal that can withstand a lot.  However, if it would ever be necessary for the ring to be cut off, it can be very difficult.  Most hospitals probably have equipment to get the ring off, but depending on the alloys in the metal, it could be nearly impossible.

Answer 11

I've seen a few and they were all pretty decent.

None of them had any stones but I don't really think men need them.

And I've heard they're durable as all h**l.

Answer 12

We looked at getting Titanium rings, but in the end opted for gold.

Why???

Most First Responders don't have the equipment to cut through Titanium or Tungston (according to my girlfriend who is a Cop.)  Since my husband works in construction and uses his hands alot, it seemed like a bit of a gamble.  In an emergency, I would rather they cut the ring off then have him loose a finger.

That may be a little alarmist, but there you have it.  They are beautiful though...

Answer 13

They feel a bit strange because they're so lightweight, but my husband really likes his. He works so much with his hands, and we needed something that wouldn't get all bent up.
