Q. Which titanium alloy do you use?
A. Ti™ rings are individually machined from a solid bar of Ti 6Al-4V*.
This alloy is comprised of:
90% titanium
6% aluminum
4% vanadium
While "pure" grades of titanium [99.9%] used in most other
titanium jewelry is very durable, Ti 6Al-4V is 2x stronger
and 2.5x to 5x harder.
Ti 6Al-4V is more expensive and more difficult to machine. However,
discerning titanium customers treasure its increased strength and durability.
Q. How can I ensure the correct ring size?
A. Before placing your order please confirm the proper finger size. All of our titanium
carbide rings are comfort fit. This means extra metal is used to make the inside of the band slightly domed, resulting in a
very comfortable fit. The center part fits closer to the finger than the outer edges. A comfort
fit ring will fit looser on the finger because it is not flat on the inside but rather rounded.
Therefore when you are getting sized please use the narrow finger sizer which is 3 mm wide,
(as opposed to the wider one of 6.5 mm.) This will provide an accurate finger size. Do
not use the wider finger sizer as your ring will fit too loosely.
Q. Which finishes are available?
A. Here is the manufacturer's description of titanium finishes:
Polished: Tripoli and green ruge bring a near mirror finish to titanium and inlays alike.
Satin: Subtly brushed using emerly cloth, this finish serves to enhance contrasts of titanium and inlays.
Stone: A mizzi wheel provides a rough looking but very lustrous finish.
Sandblast: Sandblasting darkens the colors and allows for stark contrasts.
This finish will wear to a deep sheen.
Q. Which ring widths are available?
A. Our titanium rings are available in a variety of widths. Please contact us if you need a ring in a special width!

Q. Can a titanium ring be sized?
A. titanium rings CANNOT be sized like a gold, silver or platinum ring. The metal is too hard for conventional jewelers' tools.
Q. Do you engrave titanium rings?
A. YES - by special request. The engraving fee is $50.00. Please note: because engraving is permanent and creates a heirloom, we cannot accept returns on engraved items.
Q. Are titanium rings comfortable?
A. YES. Your titanium ring is made using our full inside round comfort fit feature. This makes the ring more comfortable to wear. Most other titanium carbide rings do not have this feature.
Q. When will I receive my order?
A. Please allow 7-10 business days for manufacturing. Then add 3-5 business days for UPS Ground, 2 days for 2nd-day air, and 1 day for next-day delivery.
Q. What are the warranty terms?
A. All Ti™ titanium jewelry is guaranteed for life. If a piece
should EVER fail structually, it will be replaced at no charge.
Furthermore, should any stone be lost from any piece during
normal wear, it will be replaced at no charge. Colored stone and
nugget inlays are guaranteed for one year. Insurance coverage
provides additional protection.
Q. My titanium ring doesn't fit me anymore. Can I get an exchange?
A. All rings are covered by the manufacturer, exclusive lifetime
insurance. Coverage includes exchange for a new ring in the
event that a different finger size is ever needed or if a ring
ever needs to be cut off. Also, any insured item will be
replaced in the event of loss.
At the time of exchange or replacement, a deductible will be
charged. Deductibles are currently:
Non-inlayed titanum: $15
gold or silver and titanium: $35
platinum and titanium: $50
Titanium with dimaonds, other stones or nuggets: $100
Exclusions: The warranty is voided if the ring is altered
in any way. Engraving, soldering, sizing, polishing, ultra sonic cleaning, steaming or other
signs of abuse will void the warranty.
Q.
What if a titanium ring gets stuck on your finger, can it be safely removed if necessary?
A. If a Ti™ ring must be removed, but it is too small to
fit over the knuckle, an electric ring saw may utilized.
A separating or cutting disk on a flex shaft will cut through
a Ti™ ring. Most bench jewelers possess this equipment
and may assist you. The ring should be cut on opposite sides
so that it comes off in two pieces. The metal can get hot, so it
may be desirable to lay the hand in a shallow pan of cool water
during this procedure.
