Titanium Ring Facts
Welcome to Hawaii Titanium Rings® original website newly updated! Here you can find our newest designs. Enjoy browsing through our original, quality, handmade creations.
First, let us share some amazing facts about Titanium:
- Titanium is the best metal to use for our rings mostly because of its lightweight and durability. The fact that titanium does not tarnish and is 100% hypoallergenic is a bonus!
- Titanium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the Earth's crust. It is present in everything from the trees that grow on the Earth's surface to the fish that swim in the sea.
- Like any precious metal, Titanium must be boiled at 3600 degrees, three times the heat used to process gold. It is these extreme processing methods that limit Titanium's abundance in the precious metal market.
- Titanium was not unclassified by the government for public use until 1988, until then it was for military use only. It is considered a performance metal used by Lockheed to make the All-Star SR-71 Black Bird fighter jet.
- Today it is mainly used in Aerospace technology but is also commonly used to make surgical implants for its Hypoallergenic characteristics .
