Why Men's Black Titanium Rings Are Such a Hot Commodity

As someone who closely follows the latest trends in men's fashion, I am rarely surprised by the choices men make.  Guys are known for taking a lot longer than women to embrace something new, but there is one recent exception to this rule.  It is the phenomenal rise of Black Titanium Rings to "rock star" status in the world of men's jewelry.

 

First, let me point out that as a gender, men are reticent about their feelings on jewelry.  It's rare to overhear a conversation between a few guys about the new black titanium ring they just bought.  You're more likely to hear them dissect every play from last night's football game or trade stories about their favorite cars.  So what's driving this trend and making these black fashion rings a "must have"?

 

The simple fact is that titanium is known as one of the strongest and most durable metals on earth.  It is lightweight, hypoallergenic and relatively inexpensive, making it an excellent alternative to gold and platinum.  Because titanium is known as an ‘industrial metal", it just seems more masculine and practical than traditional jewelry.  It is also a great choice for men who work with their hands because it doesn't dent or scratch like gold and silver.  Simply put, this space-age metal is quickly becoming a favorite choice for men's fashion rings and alternative wedding bands.

 

Black titanium rings are a relative newcomer to jewelry styles for men, but these metal bands have been breaking sales records for many jewelers lately.  One jeweler explains it this way: "For men who are looking for something a little different, black titanium rings are the perfect fit. They make a statement without being overly self-conscious, and my customers like how manly they look on the hand.  Even men who come in looking for a more traditional wedding band often leave with a black titanium ring."

 

Men who want a black ring choose black titanium rings because the color doesn't chip or fade.  Unlike black PVD-coated rings, black titanium uses a unique anodizing process that pushes the black coloring far beneath the surface of the metal.  This means your titanium ring will last much longer than other black rings.  But beyond all the practical reasons to wear black titanium rings; men like to wear them because they are lightweight, comfortable, and look terrific on the hand.

 

Some of the best selling black titanium rings can be found online at sites like JustMensRings.com.  Like most online jewelers, JustMensRings.com is seeing customers buy black titanium rings for men as both alternative wedding bands and fashion rings.

 

According to owner Roy Devine, the most popular design is a black titanium band with a contrasting gray titanium center band.  A similar version is a <a href="http://www.justmensrings.com/mensweddingrings.asp?wedding=titanium">black titanium wedding band</a> with natural gray titanium edges.  Both of these rings are available for under $50.

Made by Hand $15.99 From his unique vantage point as editor-in-chief of Make magazine, the hub of the do-it-yourself movement, Mark Frauenfelder takes readers on an inspiring and surprising tour of the vibrant world of DIY. All in one delicious book called Made by Hand. Frauenfelder spent a year trying a variety of offbeat projects such as keeping chickens and bees, tricking out his espresso machine, whittling wooden spoons, making guitars out of cigar boxes, and doing citizen science with his daughters in the garage. His whole family found that DIY helped them take control of their lives, offering deeply satisfying alternatives for spending time together. Working with their hands and minds helped them feel more engaged with the world around them. Frauenfelder also profiles fascinating "alpha makers" leading various DIY movements and grills them for their best tips and insights. He offers a unique perspective on how earning a few calluses can be far more rewarding than another trip to the mall. Made by Hand is an adventure in DIY from the best dang DIYers out there. Mr. Frauenfelder - we salute ye! Seriously though, kids - this is a great book. You'll thank yourself for getting it. And just so you don't complain, we know Mark isn't the one who wears goggles and a red cape. But we're guessing the one who does likes this book, too!

World Made by Hand (Paperback) $20.93 For over a decade, novelist and cultural critic James Howard Kunstler has been sounding the warning bells against the direction our resource-guzzling globalized world is heading. His 2005 nonfiction work, THE LONG EMERGENCY, presented a powerful argument that our civilization`s dependence on oil is fundamentally untenable, and that we`re all headed for a bleak future. In his captivating and disturbing novel, WORLD MADE BY HAND, he imagines life in that future: a place where planes and cars are useless trash, and the population has been ravaged by global warming and deadly pandemics. In a small town in upstate New York, former software executive Robert Earle has been reluctantly elected mayor, and must contend with religious cults, a gang of NASCAR fanatics, and a miscreant thug who is holding six townspeople hostage. WORLD MADE BY HAND conjures a dark but utterly believable vision of the near future, and skillfully blends sci-fi adventure with profound contemplation on the fate of humanity, and how we can save ourselves from our own folly.
