Cufflinks South Africa

June 21st, 2011

Titanium Cufflinks made in South Africa – Titanium cuff links are fairly pricey – it is like making 2 titanium rings. The designs and styling are fairly limited. In saying that, titanium cufflinks, if you like clean lines and contemporary design, make a great gift for a man. The titanium does not tarnish – which means the cuff-link will not stain or mark a white shirt – no matter how old the the cuff-links are – unlike silver cuff links, which do tarnish, and if you do not keep them clean they will mark a dress shirt. All the cuff links are custom made – so if you need titanium cuff links in a different size or shape let us know.

Re-size titanium ring

December 22nd, 2010

Is it possible to re-size a titanium ring? Many people buy titanium only to find out later that the ring cannot be sized……. Black titanium ring using compositeThis is a common problem with titanium wedding rings. The retailer or seller of the ring should be upfront with the customer and tell them that the ring cannot be made bigger or smaller. The reason is that when a titanium ring is made it is turned from a solid piece of titanium. Welding titanium is a very difficult and expensive process – so to cut it and add or remove a piece is just not a viable option – it is cheaper to remake the ring. A titanium ring can sometimes be made 1/2 a size bigger. It is done by grinding the inside of the ring. It takes some time but can be done. All the inside engraving will be lost and will have to be redone. Although you cannot re-size a titanium ring, the benefits of a titanium ring far out way this hassle. Titanium can be cut off the finger though – don’t worry about that!

The price you pay compared to gold or silver is vast – so much so that it is worthwhile just having a new band made up when you need a bigger titanium ring size or a smaller titanium ring size. The material is inexpensive and it really does last forever. One of my favorite comments is that if you ever need to re-enter the atmosphere – you can do it wearing your titanium ring.

Black Titanium is a Myth

December 20th, 2010

Black titanium does not exist – period. It is either coated or it is impregnated – both are easily scratched and do not last. I purchased a black titanium ring on the net and within 3 weeks it was showing grey through the black. I am quite hard on my jewellery but that is unacceptable. It was one of the impregnated black titanium rings. The black titanium rings look fantastic when you get them – but not for long. After a while the black started coming off my titanium ring. I contacted several manufacturers and not one could help me. The company that sold me the black titanium ring told me to read the fine print on their site. I did, and lo and behold, there was no guarantee. Beware of other coloured titanium – the bright blues and purples are also just a thin coating.
