About this ring
Plain titanium wedding ring, in detail
A flat court band in titanium: flat across the top, rounded on the inside where it meets the finger. As pictured, the centre is satin and both edges are polished bright, so a soft grey face sits between two thin lines of light. Polished all over, the same profile becomes one continuous mirror that picks up whatever is around it. There is no pattern, no line and no stone. It is the plainest ring in the range and the lightest. Most of the other titanium designs here begin from a band much like this one.
How it wears
Titanium sits at about 4.5 grams per cubic centimetre, so the band is easy to forget on the hand, even at 10mm. The metal is around Mohs 6 and gathers fine surface marks over time. On the satin centre they blend into the brushed grain; on a band polished all over they show sooner, as a soft haze across the shine. Titanium is hypoallergenic, so it suits skin that reacts to other metals. Taking it off for heavy or abrasive work keeps the surface at its best.
Choosing yours
Width does most of the work here. At 4 or 5mm the band reads as a quiet line. At 6 or 7mm it sits in the middle ground and suits a wide range of hands. From 8 to 10mm it gives a broad, flat face that still weighs very little, which is where titanium earns its place.
Satin with polished edges keeps the outline crisp and is the more forgiving of the two finishes; polished all over is brighter and more traditional in feel. For a pair, two widths of the same ring is the simplest match there is.
How it compares with the rings nearest it
| Ring | What sets it apart | Metal | Widths | Surface hardness | From |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plain titanium (this ring) | The lightest ring we make and the simplest. | Titanium | 4 to 10mm | Mohs 6 | £165 |
| Offset stripe, titanium | A polished stripe set off centre in satin titanium. | Titanium | 6 to 10mm | Mohs 6 | £165 |
| Ribbed, titanium | Fine grooves the whole way round. | Titanium | 4 to 10mm | Mohs 6 | £165 |
| Faceted, titanium | Cut into ten flat planes rather than a curve. | Titanium | 4 to 10mm | Mohs 6 | £199 |
There are 44 titanium bands in the range, from £165 to £1,345. All about titanium.
The metal, in brief
Titanium is by a distance the lightest metal we make rings in. At about 4.5 g per cubic centimetre it is under a third the reference density of 18ct yellow gold. Our maker says it normally uses Grade 2 for its designs and reserves higher-tensile Grade 5 for tension-set rings, so the exact grade belongs in the specification of the ring rather than a range-wide claim.
Surface hardness Mohs 6, density 4.5 g/cm³. It is hypoallergenic, so it is a sound choice for skin that reacts to nickel. It is not a precious metal, so it carries no hallmark.

About Plain titanium wedding ring
- How much does the Plain titanium ring cost?
- £165 from 4mm to 7mm and £190 from 8mm to 10mm. That is the whole price: UK delivery is free, insured and signed for and engraving inside the band is included. The size makes no difference to the price.
- Can this 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.
- Is engraving included?
- Yes. It is optional. Leave the box blank and the ring is made plain. If you do want one it is laser cut inside the band where the ring is made, rather than sent out to a third party. There is no charge and no extra wait.
- How long will it take?
- 1 to 2 weeks. It is made in your size after you order, not picked off a shelf. That is the reason the widths and finishes are open choices.
- Can I return it if I have it engraved?
- Not for a change of mind. An engraving makes the ring clearly personalised, which puts it outside the statutory right to cancel. It cannot be resold. Every ring shop draws the line here. Order it plain and you keep the full 30 days. Either way, a ring that arrives faulty or is not what you ordered is covered by the Consumer Rights Act, which nothing waives.
- How much does the Plain titanium ring weigh?
- About 1.5g at 4mm, 2.2g at 6mm, 3.7g at 10mm, estimated for a plain band in titanium at UK size N. Larger sizes and wider bands weigh more. It is a light ring by any standard: 18ct gold of the same size is more than twice the weight.
- What widths does it come in and do they cost the same?
- 4 to 10mm. 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm are £165 and 8mm, 9mm, 10mm £190, because the wider bands take more metal to make.
- What is closest to the Plain titanium in the range?
- Offset stripe, titanium (titanium) and Ribbed, titanium (titanium). The comparison table on this page sets them side by side on metal, width, hardness and price.
- Can I see the Plain titanium on my hand before I buy it?
- Yes. Our free ring try-on draws this ring onto a photo of your own hand, at any width from 4mm to 10mm, from this ring's own photograph. Press See it on your hand under the photograph. Each email address gets three pictures every thirty days and your photo is deleted once the picture is made.
- What if I get the size wrong?
- If it is unengraved, return it inside 30 days and we refund it and pay the postage. Use the free ring size finder first if you are unsure. If the ring is a surprise, ask us and we will talk you through the ways to find out without asking them.
- What should I know about titanium before I buy?
- Titanium picks up fine surface marks with daily wear. Our maker's Grade 5 is stronger than Grade 2 but no more scratch resistant, so the grade is about strength, not about marks. Take it off for abrasive or heavy work. Around machinery and electrics, follow your workplace rules on jewellery, whatever the ring is made of.
