THE ADVANTAGES AND DRAWBACKS OF TITANIUM

5 REASONS FOR CHOOSING TITANIUM:

1. Titanium is as strong as steel but much lighter and over twice the strength of aluminium.

2. It is highly durable and almost as resistant to corrosion as platinum.

3. It has hypoallergenic qualities; you won't find any allergic reactions or skin discoloration from it. In fact it is even used in bone implants, hip-joint replacements and medical devices.

4. It is so light that it is used in the manufacture of spectacles to spaceships!

5. It is very inexpensive in comparison to White Gold and Platinum.

5 REASONS FOR AVOIDING TITANIUM:

1. It may be at the height of fashion now… but as with most fashions that come around, it will soon be gone.

2. Titanium is the ninth most common metal in the universe, which gives it little value.

3. A wedding ring should not just have sentimental value, but actual value so that future generations will see it as a truly precious item.

4. Any finish you can get with titanium can be reproduced on white gold or platinum.

5. It can only be used in the manufacture of jewellery in a very engineered way, therefore any adjustments like sizing cannot be made (unlike gold and platinum which can be very artistically crafted).
