Emergency Ring Removal and The Titanium Ring Myth
Accidents do and will happen. If you work with heavy machinery, construction, or risky physical activity such as rock climbing it is recommended that you remove jewelry whether it is titanium or any other metal.
In the event of injury to your ring finger, remove the ring before the onset of swelling. A lubricant may be required, saliva works in a pinch. Applying ice can be helpful besides raising your arm to allow blood flow away from injured finger or hand. Hospitals are equipped if the ring must be cut off.
You may have been told thet titanium rings are a bad choice because they can’t be cut like a traditional ring. This is not the case at all. Hospitals have been removing titanium rings for years and with no more difficulty than other rings. Don’t let this stop you from buying titanium rings.
I have been successful in cutting through all grades of titanium using a Dremel tool using a cut-off disc. For Safety Professionals, ring cutters can be purchased from emergency medical suppliers. If you are prepared with the right tool, proper action can be critical to the injury. Seek professional help as soon as possible.
Jewelers have been known to cut rings off of peoples fingers in the past. This is usually due to a finger outgrowing the ring. It is extremely rare though because jewelers have many secret ways of getting tight rings off of fingers. If they do have to cut it off they can with the standard equipment that they use daily. Yes even titanium.
Never try to cut a ring off at home. Too many people have been severely injured doing this. Most injuries occur because the person attempts to use some sort of wire cutter and ends up with a trip to the hospital. Let professionals do this kind of work.

Titanium Jewelry – Quick Facts
Today, one of the fastest emerging trends in the jewelry industry is titanium. It is becoming increasingly popular, especially among younger men.
Titanium, sometimes called the space age metal, is a strong, lightweight and corrosion-resistant material. It’s used in a variety of applications, from industrial and aeronautical equipment to medical and consumer applications. By weight, it’s one of the world’s strongest readily available metals, stronger than aluminum and 45% lighter than steel.
In many ways titanium is also a great material for jewelry. It’s 100% hypoallergenic, which means it won’t make your skin discolor or become irritated, it’s rust-resistant, strong, lightweight, durable, and very importantly, much less expensive than gold, silver or platinum.
Titanium is most popular among men. As the hardest natural metal in the world, it symbolizes strength and masculinity in a way even the most manly man can appreciate.
Titanium is also a good choice for couples who are willing to try something a out of the ordinary. If you want something special for your wedding, why not titanium wedding rings. They are beautiful, trendy, and available for both men and women.
Titanium rings come in many different ways and have a great potential for customization. They can have inlays with silver, platinum, or yellow or white gold. They can come with engravings or embedded with gemstones, like diamonds, or any other precious stone. You have many unique patterns, colors and shapes to choose from. One of the most popular choice today are black titanium rings.
Titanium is certainly a good alternative to gold and other standard jewelry materials. Not just because it’s cheaper, but because it’s unique, stylish and just, if not more beautiful. Titanium jewelry has evolved and is here to stay.
