So you’re looking for a wedding ring? Traditionally, diamonds have been associated with love because of their immense durability, their ability to last for eternity – but what about metals? Gold has been associated with love because of its purity and brightness, but it doesn’t have that durability which you’ll be hoping for in your marriage. Perhaps you should consider a titanium ring.

Over time, gold rings get worn away simply because gold is a soft metal. Silver rings suffer the same fate. Titanium rings, on the other hand, are built to last many lifetimes even if they’re worn every day. A titanium ring wont corrode like cheaper jewelery and it won’t suffer from wear and tear, no matter what you do while wearing it. A titanium ring is, quite simply, the toughest kind of ring on the market. When you give a titanium ring, you know you’re giving something which is going to last.

Perhaps a titanium ring doesn’t seem very romantic, but that depends on what you want from romance. A titanium ring says that your commitment is being made for the long term. It’s solid and dependable. Titanium rings are available in a wide range of styles, from strong masculine designs to slender jeweled bands, so choosing a titanium ring needn’t mean compromising on appearance. Titanium rings are very sophisticated and are becoming increasingly fashionable as people begin to realize their potential.

A wedding ring is the most important piece of jewelery you’ll ever buy in your life, so it’s all the more important that you get it right. With a titanium ring you know you’re getting something special. If you’re looking for a ring for a husband-to-be who generally feels uncomfortable about wearing jewelery, you may find that a chunky titanium ring is perfect for him. He’ll enjoy its solidity and strength and won’t feel that it’s inappropriately fancy. A well chosen titanium ring will say something about his character as well as making a strong statement about your love.

Titanium rings are very difficult to scuff or scratch, so when you choose a titanium ring for your wedding you can be sure that it’ll look just as good at your golden wedding anniversary. A titanium ring set with diamonds can bring together two of the world’s toughest materials to make a truly enduring statement. Titanium rings are ideal for people who work with their hands, who may find that other rings are easily damaged or have to be removed during the course of their working day. Titanium rings are also hypo-allergenic, so can be worn day in and day out no matter how sensitive you are.

Titanium rings are a fairly new addition to most jewelers’ stores, so you may not have considered them as an option before, but now that you understand their advantages you’ll understand just why it is that more and more people are choosing them. Nothing says ‘forever’ quite like a titanium ring.

Jewelry (also spelled as Jewellery and Jewelery) are ornaments like necklace, rings, earrings, bracelets, bangles, toe rings, etc. made of different precious metals like gold, silver, platinum and also from precious and semi-precious stones like pearls, gemstones, diamonds, etc.

Jewelry is the one of the oldest form of body ornament. Earlier jewelry was made from natural materials, such as bones, animal teeth, shells, wood and carved stones. These days beads are frequently used in jewelry. Beaded Jewellery commonly encompass necklaces, bracelets, earrings, belts, and rings and the beads can be both large or small.

Around the world, the demand of gold jewelry is on the rise and so are the prices. This form of jewelry looks beautiful and the Jewellers are coming up with new mesmerizing exquisite designs every day. For making gold jewelry, gold has to be mixed with other metals in required proportions to make it malleable and durable, as the purest form of gold that is 24 carats is very soft and cannot be used for making jewelry.

Gold jewelry used in India are available in 22 kt gold, 21 kt gold, 18 kt gold with purity of 91.6%,. 87.5% and 75% respectively.

Other types of jewelry that are catering to fashion conscious people from across the globe includes artificial jewelry, costume jewelry, fashion and imitation jewelry, pearl jewelry, gemstone jewelry, imitation and antique jewelry.

In India, export of gems and jewelery items during April – May 2008 has registered a growth of over 25%, in terms of rupees, as compared to same period last year. The growth of the gems and jewelery industry is commendable considering the fact that the rupee gained over the US dollar for most part of the year.

So where should one go to buy jewelry? Well, you can buy from your nearest jeweler’s store or get on to the internet and search for sites selling jewelry, but make sure you buy hallmark jewelry as hallmarking certifies that the jewelry conforms to national & international standards of purity.

In India, the BIS i.e. Bureau of Indian Standards undertakes certification of purity of gold jewelry in accordance with Indian Standards IS:1417 Grades of Gold & Gold Alloys.

If you are an importer or a buyer based outside India and have a buying requirement for any form of jewelry from India, you can always log on to site Tradeindia.com

TradeIndia website has a comprehensive database of jewelry exporters from India.

You can search for exporters and manufacturers of any form of jewelry and can contact them directly with your buy requirement. An importer can also post his buy requirement and can respond to offers received.

To help you in finding all kinds of jewelry sellers, exporters and manufacturers from India. There are other company websites also that you can Google easily. But I’m impressed with the companies listed on the TradeIndia.com portal as here you can find many jewelry exporters at a single place. You don’t have to search through the internet.

A word of caution though, while dealing through internet always cross-check the company credentials first before placing an order. As it is always better to be safe than be sorry later!
