Titanium rings

[the_mother_thing]

Calling @Dancing Fire & @lovedogs since you both have Boone ring’s (anyone else, please also chime in), can you please comment on the metal and how it feels, weighs and wears compared to traditional jewelry metals (gold, platinum)? I am thinking about maybe trying one for a CS.

Thanks in advance

I think titanium wears well and feels light. My husband says he really likes his for these reasons and he hardly notices that he is wearing it.

Titanium is not heavy like PT but not as light as I thought it would be. It feels just right and very inexpensive. My size 9 ring weigh in at 6.2 grams.

Thanks so much @m51galaxy & @Dancing Fire

How does it wear in terms of dings and scratches? I prefer high polish finishes, so this concern crossed my mind as well.

I was thinking about doing one of the ‘daintier’ bypass styles, and just don’t want it to feel overly ‘light’. Would you say it’s comparable to gold in weight?

I think gold and platinum get scratched up much more easily than titanium, but they all do get some scratches. Titanium is lighter, but harder. All can be buffed and polished.

IDK since I had only worn the ring for 3.5 months. There are no dings or major scratches on the ring and the polished finish still looks new after 3.5 months.

As for its weight? ...I think 18K gold will weigh 2.5 X more than titanium.

Brushed titanium picks up scratches annoyingly quickly IME (wearing a Ti watch) but I think a lot can depend on the exact alloy being used.

I think BB does a Cobalt Chrome finish that is heavier in weight and more resistance to scratches - I think it could be worth dropping him a line to chat stuff through, as he seems to know his stuff and be open to helping as much as needed

TY! I was curious about his other metals as well so may just do that ( reach out to him).
