Authentic Black Titanium is produced using a trademarked process called Black TiT. It is a revolutionary alloy produced using materials that keep the inherent qualities of titanium and is inert like the metal itself. This means, a Black Titanium ring does not react to skin contact, oxidize, scratch or corrode. The process uses high temprature and rare materials to turn the metal itself to a black color and hence is not an applied coating that will scratch or peel off.
It is important to check with the jeweler when you're buying a Black Titanium ring whether the black color has been achieved using this process. If it is just a coating, it will scratch or peel off, if it is done using some other process, the metal may loose its qualities and scratches and defects may begin to appear in your ring. It may also cause allergic reactions and might react to human skin contact, which is impossible with authentic Black Titanium.
Black Titanium is gaining huge popularity in the jewelry market as diamonds and gemstones contrast beautifully with it and give the resulting engagement ring or wedding ring design a uniqueness which cannot be achieved with any other metal. Also men seem to have found their perfect metal in Black Titanium and are crazy about it as women are about diamonds! It is quite a Macho metal!!
Titanium & Black Titanium like Tungsten have been very popular metals in body jewelry as they are completely hypoallergenic. Even if you are allergic to other jewelry made of Gold & Silver you are safe with Titanium and Black Titanium. Wedding rings in Black Titanium are also now gaining popularity, especially black titanium wedding rings or engagement rings with tension set diamonds or a gemstone such as sapphire, ruby or emerald.
