Anyone who has ever experienced itchy skin, constantly watery eyes or sneezing knows how allergies can make life much more difficult. Hypoallergenic materials may be the only option for people with severe cases of allergies since they can be reacted by almost anything. Sensitive skin can be affected by almost any metal or material. Picking a metal that is 100% hypoallergenic prevents any irritating side effects on a person’s skin while still being an attractive piece of jewelry.

Titanium is a completely hypoallergenic metal that is slowly growing in popularity. The metal is as durable as steel, while being as lightweight as aluminum, making it the perfect metal for creating the best jewelry. Surprisingly, 10% of the population is allergic to nickel, which is frequently found in gold and white gold. Every grade of titanium that has been tested has displayed that it was 100% hypoallergenic and will not irritate or discolor skin at all. Because of its hypoallergenic element, it is also used for surgical implants and instruments. Its strength and hypoallergenic qualities makes it perfect for medical operations since titanium is immune to corrosion and bio-compatible. These qualities also make it the ideal choice for jewelry because it can resist the general wear-and-tear put onto it every day.

Titanium jewelry is rising in use because it’s much more affordable than other types of hypoallergenic material while still being an attractive piece. It can be changed to virtually any other color, ranging from bright, vibrant blues to dark forest green. The best part is that the color is created by anodizing. This is the process where oxygen changes the metal’s surface crystals. The change in colors doesn’t change the materials surface completely, and it is still 100% hypoallergenic so it will not irritate the skin.

Purchasing a piece of jewelry that is created with titanium eliminates any worry that the skin will get a reaction from the material. It is perfect for gift giving since there is no guess on whether or not they are allergic to particular metals. Titanium is the perfect material for bracelets, necklaces, rings and earrings because there is no chance that the skin will become discolored or a rash will occur.

Since many titanium jewelry shops specialize in titanium rings for men, it can be frustrating for a woman who has a style in mind and wants titanium, due to quality, durability and strength, but finds only the same simple titanium wedding bands over and over again. For ladies who seek something unique, sophisticated and high quality and know that Edward Mirell is the name for titanium, they may still be disappointed to find that the Edward Mirell collections cater mostly to elegant mens titanium ring designs. However, to help, I have selected a few womens titanium rings that may be in keeping with a woman’s need to have a touch of color.

One line that can be found easily Online is the South Beach collection. This Edward Mirell collection also has rings such as the Rainbow Sapphire Ring that incorporates scattered sapphires across a polished titanium band. There is also a company called ArtCarved which also sells online via Titanium-Jewelry, and offers a collection of delicate titanium Celtic rings with etching of knots and eternity symbols that are graceful and feminine. Another online shop to keep in mind is Apples of Gold, who offer just about everything from Celtic wedding bands to Christian crosses for womens wedding bands and engagement rings and even fashion colored jewelry that is reasonably priced. Cheap titanium rings are not easy to find, but there are many good options for under $200.

Womens Titanium Engagement Rings

Most ladies want some sparkle in their engagement rings, be it diamonds or cubic zirconia or some colored gemstones, and because titanium rings are often advertised as rather plain looking bands, many women don’t realize that there is a whole world of engagement rings that use a technology called tension setting. This style of ring is unique because the stone is not set into a band with prongs or elevated settings, but is clasped in a small opening in the titanium band somewhat like a vice grip which holds the diamond fixed in place due to the tensile strength of the titanium which will not release the gemstone even in changes of temperature or pressure.

The wonderful part of these titanium engagement rings is that because they float in space, so to speak, and have no metal to infringe on the light that passes through the stone, they appear even more brilliant and dazzling than traditional diamond ring settings.

Affordable Womens Tension Set Diamond Engagement Rings

There are some very affordable tension set diamond ring designs online like the womens black titanium ring that has a tension set diamond, made by the famous Edward Mirell, that retails for just under $300. There’s a slightly more expensive Contoured womens titanium ring with tension set diamond for just under $500, and a grooved titanium ring by Edward Mirell also for $500. For a bit of gold in a black titanium ring there’s a titanium band with 18K gold inlays and tension set diamond or a titanium womens ring with 14K rose gold that’s also about the same price. All of these titanium rings are guaranteed not to tarnish even for people active in sports or swimmers who leave their rings on while in chlorinated pools.

Titanium with Diamonds, White Sapphires and Cubic Zirconia Rings

Women titanium ring styles, with gemstones and cubic zirconia, are plentiful at a little online shop called Titanium Era, a division of Avalon Diamonds & Jewelry. They offer a wide selection of womens titanium promise rings, wedding rings and titanium engagement rings that have tension set stones or embedded jewels. They have a few gorgeous pieces of womens tungsten jewelry and plain titanium bands for women or traditional titanium engagement rings and also titanium Celtic rings or ones with Chinese characters.

Others have gold inlay or brilliant diamond studded womens wedding rings such as the ultra polished titanium engagement ring with .5 carat diamond in a tension setting called the Diamond Ophelia and costs only $300, or the elegant sandblasted titanium version of a womens titanium engagement ring called the Diamond Countess which retails for under $500.

There’s also a ring called the Diamond Silva which is also set in polished titanium band and incorporates tension set diamond all for under $400. But the really wonderful thing about all the titanium engagement rings that Titanium Era sells is that the gemstone can be a genuine diamond or for a cheap titanium ring option you can select a white sapphire or a cubic zirconia that cuts the ring price almost in half while still having the same basic look and still maintaining thehigh quality, solid and durable titanium in the band. The best prices for CZ rings with titanium are just over $200. A great price for such a high quality ring.
