Derived from Greek Mythology, the titanos (Titans) the sons of the Earth goddess, titanium represents extreme and superior strength. Titanium rings are unique in that they are lightweight, like aluminum yet stronger than steel, embodying the highest ratio between strength and density of all metallic materials. Of particular importance for jewelry, light weight translates to comfort and value. The strength of titanium rings allows for design capabilities that were otherwise impossible.

So What Makes Titanium So Unique?

It's no wonder that titanium was given its name. No other element has had as much impact in as vast and diverse environments as titanium. “Few materials have as much potential for dynamic growth during the 1990's, and beyond, as titanium. It's on the cutting edge of some really exciting and extraordinary developments, many of which are in newly emerging technologies." - Sen. John Glenn. From the ocean floor to the stars and beyond, titanium has been at the core of more life changing devices, from medical implants to space shuttles, to the wonderful world of fine art and jewelry. With its unique combination of beauty, strength, light weight and bio-compatibility, Titanium rings provide the ideal balance perfect for a king, Greek God or man or woman of the house. Ego aside, titanium rings are worth more than their weight in gold. Titanium commands the highest levels of quality for a variety of consumer products such as sports equipment, art and architecture, medical, automotive and marine supplies, and of course, jewelry.

As the first new element to enter the noble metals arena of platinum and gold in over 3,000 years, Titanium is among the elite. Its inert qualities make it completely corrosion resistant and 100% hypoallergenic. Displaying no reactions to salt water, sunlight, or any body chemistry, titanium is the preferred material for surgical tools, implants, pacemaker cases and other internal casings. Titanium rings are also the ideal choice for active and sensitive skin individuals. Often times, people allergic to gold or silver or who have skin sensitivities are steered towards titanium jewelry. Titanium rings, unlike silver and gold never tarnish, leaving your ring looking as flawless and new as it was from day one.

Similar to other industries where titanium entered the scene, with jewelry it is easily the fastest growing category, symbolizing the new standard for excellence. Just look at other industries, for example titanium credit cards and titanium golf clubs. Titanium always means the best, representing the highest standard of excellence and quality. Titanium is pure. Leveraging the World Titanium Council's endorsement of Spectore's titanium, no other conventional material can claim this level of purity.
