We suggest that you have your finger sizes checked by a local jeweler before you order to double check your finger size. Make sure ;they are US size.

Cleaning titanium rings

Simply use a soft cloth and warm soapy water to clean your titanium rings. Do not use strong detergent or chemicals and never use toothpaste to clean your jewelry. For polished natural color titanium rings, we suggest that you have your titanium ring polished about one or twice a year. This will help to keep the ring looking great.

Can we custom design a specific idea of yours?

Titanium is difficult to work with, not manipulated easily, cannot be welded or soldered and takes a heavy toll on jewelry machine tools. For this reason, at this stage we are not able to offer styles other than those displayed on our website.

Does the color fade or wear - How to care for your titanium rings

Although titanium is a very strong metal, much stronger than gold, platinum and silver, and is more scratch, bend and dent resistant, it is not completely scratch resistant. As with any jewelry, titanium rings will scratch. Scratching of any metal, including titanium can happen within one day or one year - there is not a certain time frame when scratching and wear will begin to occur. To help keep your ring looking good, we suggest that you not wear your ring while doing manual work, while gardening, while working with abrasive substances, at the gym, playing sport or at the beach. As with gold rings, polished titanium rings can easily be polished by a local jeweler for only a few dollars to make the ring look like new again. Remember, the more respect you have for your jewelry, the longer it will stay looking good for you. You do need to appreciate however that titanium rings, as with gold rings, can and will scratch with normal every day wear and not just with heavy wear.
