The titanium ring has come of age. There has been a big interest in contemporary metals like 
tungsten, titanium and black titanium. Folks in their twenties often search for these types of metals after having been on line looking for titanium wedding rings like the ones to the right and these other metals will eventually surface during their search.
They’ll often notice that a mens titanium ring for instance is much more affordable in the wider rings that run from 6mm to 10mm compared to similar rings in gold.
Edward mirell is one designer and manufacturer that is well known for their selection of titanium rings. Their range includes solid titanium rings and titanium rings inlaid with one or many grooves of Argentium silver like this ring to the left below with a single silver inlay.
Titanium also comes in an alloy blend that gives it an attractive black finish. Black is a very in color and has been showing up in various jewelry forms like black rubber in mens bracelets, black leather in necklaces and black stones like onyx have been a staple in mens rings for the longest time.
Similarly black titanium has become quite a versatile metal for rings that men seem to want.
A lot of men’s jewelry is about texture because they like to see interesting textures on their jewelry and mens titanium rings deliver in this regard. Titanium takes a very good finish that is modern, edgy and durable.
Titanium looks good in sandblasted finishes because it has that silvery gray color that renders surface finishes quite nicely. Brushed, sandblasted or satin finishes look glossy and luxurious on titanium and show up even better when other metals are introduced into the mix.
This is particularly evident on rings that have yellow gold inlays in brushed black titanium, hammered argentium silver in charcoal gray titanium, or even black carbon fiber inlays in brushed titanium. The combinations and textures are endless and most men can find the look they want whether they are looking for a titanium diamond ring, a titanium wedding ring, or a titanium engagement ring.
One of the trailblazers in contemporary metal jewelry is Spectore Corporation which bought out the design label Edward Mirell. It has a history of creating innovative titanium jewelry for men like black titanium rings and now for women with its Mirella collection.
With the advent of anodized titanium to facilitate color, certain styles become possible. 
Bolder styling is possible like grand signet rings in gleaming purple titanium with a brushed motif patterned on top. Layered styles allow for cutouts that show bright colors below in a hide and seek sort of way like this light and dark titanium band with green titanium to the right.
Color has been a mixed bag for titanium jewelry with a basic titanium ring sporting color at the lower end all the way to one of a kind pieces of couture colorful titanium imaginative pieces on the other by designers like Stephen Webster, tarditi and Las Reina. They offer modern jewelry creations that are affordable and style conscious.
Young guys in particular gravitate towards something like a black titanium ring more for the sake of durability and price. They have seen their grandfather’s and father’s old gold rings get all scratched and beaten up and want something a little more lasting. Especially if it is going to be significant piece like a wedding band, then the appeal of softer precious metals slips by the wayside.For them titanium rings fits the bill.
In eastern cultures however this is exactly the opposite as young men typically feel that if it is not a precious metal then the appeal is simply not their. Also in the far East it is the higher karateges of gold that are used in jewelry and so for many that migrated to the US even 14k and 18k gold is not particularly appealing either if you’ve been used to wearing 22k.
