Titanium jewels, original and contemporary

For those looking for something unusual and different from traditional jewelry, i titanium jewelry are the answer: a particular material that gives life to unconventional jewels, thanks to craftsmanship and precious combinations.

Titanium, from planes to glasses

Il titanium it was discovered in 1791 by William Gregor, chemist and mineral expert, in the rocks of Cornwall, but it was his German colleague Heinrich Klaproth, a few years later, who gave it this name inspired by Greek mythology. The Titans were in fact the gods born from the union of Uranus (the sky) and Gaea (the earth), older than the Olympians and considered the primordial forces of the universe.

In its pure state, titanium is shiny and metallic white in color, similar to the color of silver; it is present in abundance in numerous minerals, especially in Scandinavian countries, North America and Australia. Its main characteristics are resistance and lightness: it is hard like steel, but weighs about 40% less and it is also resistant to high temperatures and corrosion by acids.

These properties have made it possible to use titanium in many fields, from the aeronautical and aerospace industries to the production of bicycles, components for motorcycles and computers, watches and eyewear. Titanium is also biocompatible and for this reason it is also used for bone prostheses, such as the hip and knee, and for dental implants. Finally, the world of jewelry: between rings, necklaces and bracelets, i titanium jewelry have been an example of modern and trendy jewelry for years.

4 reasons to choose titanium jewelry

The characteristics we have seen make titanium perfect for creating original jewels, with a look that recalls the "industrial" use of this material, but which also perfectly matches precious stones.

Why should you choose titanium jewelry?

  • First of all because they are light, much more than those in gold. This feature allows you to make jewels even of large dimensions or with stones, while keeping them light and comfortable to wear.
  • They are also fresh: they do not risk to bend, even when the jewels are thin, nor to be damaged even by aggressive chemicals. In addition, they keep their shine unaltered.
  • Another valid reason is that they are hypoallergenic. Titanium, in fact, does not cause allergic reactions and can therefore be worn without any problem even by people who have sensitivities to metals.
  • Finally, the titanium jewelry is less expensive. Titanium, as we have seen, is easily found in nature and therefore is cheaper than gold or silver.

However, we must keep in mind that the final cost of the jewel also depends on other elements, such as precious stones, and on the workmanship. Titanium, in fact, being very resistant is also difficult to work and requires very high temperatures for melting. This is why it is not that easy to find handcrafted titanium jewelry.

Titanium jewelry, perfect for men

Titanium is one of the materials that are best suited to men's jewelry. First of all, the gray color and the materiality give to titanium jewelry a contemporary look that is best expressed in geometric and linear shapes, suitable for men's rings and bracelets.

The characteristics of titanium make it perfect even for those who do not want to fear the wear and tear of time or other elements. The jewels can be worn in any situation, for example even at the seaside.

Practicality, however, does not come at the expense of elegance. Titanium goes well with particular precious stones, such as black diamonds, which amplify the black effect in a bracelet or in one anello. And it is also perfect for the most traditional of jewels, the wedding ring, whether simple or illuminated by a central diamond.
