Titanium Rings – Online Transactions

Buying quality titanium rings is a good one. With the wide range titanium ring designs online and the high price of gold,  titanium rings can be the best ring options. Add because of the fact that  these titanium rings are hypoallergenic, durable and have resistance to most common chemicals, many prefer to buy titanium rings online. But before buying your titanium rings , you have to consider the sizing, quality and the seller's policies and reputation.

Ring Size
One of the main differences between low-cost titanium ring sellers and custom-made titanium ring sellers is the ability to select an exact size. For example, a low-cost importer of titanium rings made in Asia might just have whole sizes: 4,5,6,7,8.  In contrast a custom-jewelry maker that could able to make a ring in quarter sizes: 4, 4.25, 4.50, 4.75 and 5.0.

If you are lucky enough to have an exact whole size for , it does not make a difference if your ring seller does not do custom sizing. If your true size is 4.5, however, a 4.0 ring will be too tight and a 5.0 size ring will be too loose. Both the too big and the too small titanium rings are not appropriate for wearing.
Most online ring stores do have some sizing tools. It is wise to use them and, if possible, confirm your size at a local jeweler. Then, be sure to buy your exact size and avoid settling for something close. You would not do this with shoes, and it is equally unwise to do this with your quality titanium rings.

Quality
With so many jewelry sellers online offering titanium rings with varying prices, it is easy to be confused about their quality. The old adage, "you get what you pay for" is most true in the jewelry world. A mass-produced imported ring selling for tens of dollars is most likely made from an inferior grade of titanium and the craftsmanship is often substandard. The benefit to the buyer, of course, is its cost. A quality titanium band will be made by an artisan, a person who has many years of experience making custom-made jewelry. For a basic titanium band, it will include using a machine to craft a ring from a solid block of titanium and then using manual processes to polish and inspect the ring. For a ring with an inlay, a master ring artisan will select only the finest materials and hand inlay the material like gold, mineral, gemstones, wood-into the titanium band.

Seller's Policies and Reputation
When looking for a titanium ring online, consider the seller carefully. For example, a lot of online jewelry stores offer no return guarantee. As a result, if you receive a band that is just not what you wanted, it cannot be returned. At the very least, make sure your seller has a two-week or thirty day return policy. Another thing to look for is some sort of materials and craftsmanship guarantee. The most reputable sellers will offer a lifetime guarantee, as they will be confident of their designs and techniques and will be willing to stand behind their titanium rings. A lifetime guarantee may include free refinishing and re-sealing a ring if there is an inlay.

they look the same to me but the last one that did everybody thought was totally different so i thought i'd check this one
the kay one looks much darker in person
he wants the design to be barely visible - he likes it very simple
i've already gone through sales with them - that ring never goes on sale

They are similar but not the same. The Ebay one has more of a gap between each "link" design. The Kay one is nicely engraved and looks more like "fine jewelry" whereas the Ebay one looks like a fashion ring from Hot Topic. Of course the first one is much more money. I'd go with the Kay one if you can afford it. I don't trust Ebay for jewelry and things like that. But, it depends on what your budget is.

Since your wedding isn't for a year, I would suggest keeping at eye on sales at Kay (they have a couple big sales during the course of the year) and pounce on it when it goes on sale!
We bought our wedding bands during the holiday season (different jeweler). They had half off. His ring was originally $1200, but I got it for $600.

Remember, he only gets one ring whereas you get two... make his nice!
