I just noticed that some traffic has been driven to The Wedding Ring Blog by the following phrase being typed into the search engines – “argentium vs titanium.” Therefore, I decided to offer a simple explanation of the differences. Ready? Okay, because here we go!
Argentium Sterling Silver can be considered a precious metal that is new to the wedding band and wedding ring scene. It fills the price point between lower-priced titanium rings and palladium products. Argentium Sterling Silver wedding bands and wedding rings are affordable, do not tarnish easy, and can easily be cleaned with mild soap and a soft cloth. All-in-all, it is worth asking your jeweler about wedding bands and wedding rings created with Argentium Sterling Silver. In fact, Novell is one manufacturer that does currently work with this metal. Argentium Sterling Silver wedding bands and wedding rings can also be sized.
Titanium is a sleek looking man-made metal that can not be considered precious. A titanium wedding band or wedding ring can not be sized, but I have noticed that a lot of e-commerce websites and manufacturers have a liberal exchange policy. This can be because unlike a precious metal, the market value of titanium does not seem to fluctuate much due to supply and demand; more titanium can always be made. And titanium wedding bands and wedding rings are very affordable. They also wear very well. There is a lot of flexibility with designs and colors, the latter which limits precious metals in some ways. Check out the selection of titanium wedding bands and wedding rings that are available on Amazon.com so you can get a good idea of the wide variety. Or if you are looking to strictly purchase in a jewelry store, Wright and Lato carries basic titanium designs as well.
