We have been looking at men's bands , and have seen some in Tiatanium...how does it compare to plat/gold?  Are there any men's titanium bans w/diamonds??

Well, Ti has it's own personality (much lighter, stronger and a tad darker gray than platinum... basically) and makes wonderful jewelry IMO.

There are lots of diamond band types made in titatiun. Here's a sample. And one more, quite elegant IMO.

Anything that can be done in the usual jewelry metals, you may find done in this as well. Including any type of engraving (anything, not just writing), I found recently

Do you have a particular model in mind? Chances are I might have seen it somewhere online or off.

STONGER THAN PLATINUM MUCH CHEAPER THAN PLAT. CANT BE SIZED AND CAN'T BE CUSTOME ORDERED TO A SPECIFIC DESIGN OR SHAPE.

True about sizing... except that some shops will offer cheap replacements instead.

But custom made jewelry of titatlium can definitely be had. There are quite a few shops that offer custom services, as far as I know.

I was looking at titatium for my man too and several of the jewelry stores did mention no sizing and they also mentioned that if his finger swelled for any reason they cannot cut off the ring...would have to make cut to drain fluid from the finger.....Then again, maybe they were just trying to scare me into buying the more expensive platinum :)

HEY JOEY, CAN YOU TURN OFF THE CAPS LOCK?!

It's a bit annoying as it is generally used to  indicate shouting!!


We are ordering my hubby a titanium right hand ring and were told to get it tight enough to stay on but loose enough to allow for some swelling in the summer.
