Ceramic Rings

When one hears the words “ceramic rings” they probably have trouble conjuring up exactly what a ring made of ceramic would look like. Generally, when we think of ceramic, we are thinking of Grandmother’s best dishes.

Actually, ceramic rings are created using a zirconium based ceramic, which is one of the hardest materials available on the market. In fact, Zirconium measures a 9 on the Moh’s hardness scale and the only material which can scratch its surface is a diamond.

Rings made from the zirconium ceramic are a brilliant, onyx black color with a dazzling shine. The black bands are stunning and very contemporary looking, making them very popular amongst men, sometimes even as wedding bands. Many jewelers offer black titanium rings, which are actually an inferior product. The black titanium rings are created by using a specific grade of titanium which produces a black coating on the surface when heat is applied. The problem with this technique is the color will scratch off over time. Even though titanium is generally extremely scratch resistant, the black coating does eventually begin to scruff and scrape off, which will reveal white marks on the surface of the band.

Ceramic rings offer the same durability as platinum, titanium, or tungsten, with resiliency to bending or breaking. They will maintain their dazzling black appearance over time, with no chipping or scratching. They are also incredibly light-weight, which makes them comfortable to wear.

Titanium Style is an Ohio-based jeweler who specializes in the design and creation of titanium and tungsten rings. They are committed to producing only the highest quality, long lasting pieces, and therefore, they do not offer black titanium rings. Instead, customers who are in the market for a black band are steered towards their line of ceramic rings.

As with their titanium and tungsten bands, Titanium Style offers a range of design options for their ceramic rings. Bands are available in 6mm to 8 mm widths. The rings can be designed with rounded edges, in a more classic look, or flatter and squared off for a more modern appeal.

There is also the option of adding an inlay of another material to the ceramic band. An inlay creates a smaller, inner band breaking up the solid color of the ring. For instance, a black ceramic ring could have an inlay of titanium or tungsten added to it. The combination of the black ceramic next to the silvery metal results in a truly eye-catching ring.

The ceramic rings are hypoallergenic, making them ideal for all skin types. All of Titanium Style’s rings come with a Lifetime Warranty, protecting the buyer in the event of any material or manufacturer defects discovered in their ceramic rings.
