Titanium is the 22nd element on the periodic table, but that belies it’s material properties. Typically used for aerospace or industrial applications, titanium is non-magnetic, rustproof, and suitable as jewelry for people who have sensitivity to metals. Octodyne rings are made from 6AL4V Titanium which is the same alloy of titanium used for medical implants, to ensure that there is no bioreactivity. Titanium is also remarkable because it’s stronger than steel, but almost as light as aluminum. Titanium is a great choice as a durable ring material. It is subject to some superficial scratching, but scratches can be repaired with a scotchbrite pad or 320 grit sandpaper. Polished finishes are possible on titanium, but be aware that they will show scratches more quickly and need touch up more frequently.

 Titanium can also be heat or electrically anodized into a range of colors or patterns, available upon request.

Rings are also available in pattern welded Titanium Damascus (also know as Timascus or Tikron). As a raw material, Titanium is expensive, and Damascus is substantially more so. Pricing is available upon request, depending on dimensions and pattern.
