Choose a robust look with this 10mm band, constructed in lightweight and tough-as-nails titanium. It has a smooth polished finish with step-down edges and features brown steel cable insets and a goldtone screw detail for a handsome touch of contrast. Titanium is a great choice for anyone with metal sensitivities, or for those who don't like the weight of a heavy ring. It's completely hypoallergenic and offers superior lightweight strength and durability. This attractive, easy-care metal also maintains its color and won't yellow, fade, or tarnish over time.

Titanium is a great material. It cannot be soldered, so all the connections are cold-- riveting is the main one that I used. These rings were created layer by layer starting with the center and working my way out. Design elements were soldered into place as I went-- always to the silver. I used various styles of rivets. The smallest ones are 18k gold pins, but I also used tube rivets, and in the case of the garnet ring, the sterling lining on the shank is flared out on both sides to also act as a rivet.

I cut and drilled the sterling and titanium sheet on a cnc milling machine.

The ring on the left was the last one I did in this series of rings. It is 10 layers and I was just starting to play with not strictly just alternating the layers-- so you can see that the middle consists of two pieces of titanium. I like the contrast between the two metals, one dark and one light, and the faceted garnet.

The ring on the right consists of 13 layers and is relieved on the sides for a comfortable fit. The stone on that one is a rectangular iolite cabochon.
