Titanium Ring issue

We are aware that resizing is not really possible with the titanium bands, but then yesterday, someone at work said that if our fingers swell up, they can't cut off the band and they have to cut off our fingers! Is this really true? AsianHalfPint

If anything happens, say a broken finger, go to the fire department, they have the equipment to cut it off. Others say it's about as difficult to cut as platinum. Some suggest that you might be in trouble if something happens. The truth: I'm not sure what the absolute truth is. Scintillating...

He's an athlete and coach and all the other materials are too soft for a band for him. Is titanium the same as tungsten? I wonder if this goes for all the hard metals. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If you were an ocean, I'd learn how to float.

It is true that a special cutter or blade has be to used to get through titanium..(emergency centers are aware and always ahead of us). Kinda like rock sissors paper....but if you are in an accident that the ring has to be cut off...it wouldn't matter if it were sterling, gold, or platinum. The cutting off of the ring is still going to happen regardless of the matterial. The issue is the blade to use. Call the titanium dealer. Tell him your reservations...and then call an emergency center. I think your mind will be at ease. Also type in the word titanium in the search box...there are many postings that refer to stretching titanium for the resizing comment you made. DKS PS. I haven't seen any more ring fingerless people around than usual. Have you? Oh, maybe that is the Wendys chili thing.

Apparently it's an urban myth and possible fabricated by jewelers who saw the rising sale of the very less expensive titanium rings rising and cutting (no pun intended) into their profits. Here are some links that debunks the claim: http://www.titaniumconnection.com/ http://www.cascadiadesignstudio.com/faq-cut-off-ring.htm http://www.titanium-jewelry.com/whytitrinjew.html Sorry for any scare.

AmberWaves Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,421 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 10/19/2005	Thanks for checking into it. May I ask why you chose the titanium bands? And if this isn't too nosy, what metal is your e-ring? I want a w gold e-ring (bf is working on it) and a white gold band as well. But my bf wants the titanium like I said earlier. I wonder if I got the titanium band as well if it would clash with the e-ring. Any opinions? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If you were an ocean, I'd learn how to float.
