Titanium against other metals

|---|---|---|---|
| Titanium | 4.5 g/cm³ | 2.2g | This page |
| Black zirconium | 6.5 g/cm³ | 3.2g | 1.4 times the weight |
| 9ct gold | 11.4 g/cm³ | 5.6g | 2.5 times the weight |
| Palladium | 12 g/cm³ | 5.9g | 2.7 times the weight |
| 18ct gold | 15.7 g/cm³ | 7.7g | 3.5 times the weight |
| Platinum | 20.1 g/cm³ | 9.8g | 4.5 times the weight |
How the wall changes the weight
Width is how far the ring runs along your finger; the wall is how thick the metal is from inside to out. Two titanium rings sold as 6mm can weigh quite differently if one has a heavier wall.
| Wall | 4mm wide | 6mm wide | 8mm wide |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.2mm | 1.1g | 1.6g | 2.2g |
| 1.6mm | 1.5g | 2.2g | 2.9g |
| 2.0mm | 1.9g | 2.8g | 3.7g |

Titanium ring weight questions
- How much does a titanium ring weigh in grams?
- A plain titanium court band in UK size N weighs about 0.7g at 2mm wide, 1.5g at 4mm, 2.2g at 6mm and 2.9g at 8mm, with a standard 1.6mm wall. Width matters most: double the width and the weight doubles.
- How much does a wide titanium wedding band weigh?
- An 8mm titanium band weighs about 2.9g in size N and 3.3g in size T; a 10mm band about 3.7g and 4.1g. Wide bands in larger sizes are the heaviest rings in any metal.
- How heavy is titanium?
- Titanium weighs 4.5 grams per cubic centimetre, so a plain 4mm band in UK size N comes to about 1.5g and a 6mm band about 2.2g.
- Is titanium heavy for a ring?
- Titanium is the lightest metal we make rings in, at 4.5 g/cm³. Size for size, a titanium band is 29% of the weight of 18ct gold.
- Does a titanium ring weigh more in a bigger size?
- A little. A 6mm band weighs about 1.9g in size H, 2.2g in size N and 2.6g in size V, because a larger ring is longer all the way round. Width changes the weight far more than size does.
- How thick is a titanium wedding ring?
- These weights use a standard 1.6mm wall. A 6mm band in size N comes to about 1.6g with a lighter 1.2mm wall and 2.8g with a heavy 2mm wall, so two rings of the same width can feel quite different.
- Can a titanium ring be resized?
- A little and only larger. Titanium is not cut and rejoined like gold, but the inside of the band can often be machined to make it slightly bigger. Because it cannot go smaller, the size is settled when you order and the ring is made to that measurement.
