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.

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.
