Weights are estimates for a plain band of the same width in titanium at UK size N with a 1.6mm wall, from our ring weight calculator. A pattern cut into the surface removes a little metal, so the finished ring is slightly lighter. Not sure of the width? The band width guide helps you choose.

About this ring

LOVE in Morse code, titanium, in detail

A flat top court titanium band with a 1.5mm line of 9ct white gold set off-centre and the word LOVE machined beside it in Morse code, dots and dashes cut into the titanium, as photographed.

How it wears

Titanium is light at 4.5 grams per cubic centimetre. It is also hypoallergenic. 9ct gold is 37.5 per cent gold and far softer than the metal around it, so the gold shows fine marks first.

Choosing yours

The message reads only to someone who knows Morse code, which is the point of it. It is made with the word LOVE, as photographed.

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 LOVE in Morse code, titanium

How much does the LOVE in Morse code, titanium ring cost?
£525 from 6mm to 7mm and £550 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 LOVE in Morse code, titanium ring weigh?
About 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?
6 to 10mm. 6mm, 7mm are £525 and 8mm, 9mm, 10mm £550, because the wider bands take more metal to make.
What is closest to the LOVE in Morse code, titanium in the range?
Celtic, gold lines (titanium with gold inlay) and Twin platinum lines, titanium (titanium with gold inlay). The comparison table on this page sets them side by side on metal, width, hardness and price.
Can I see the LOVE in Morse code, 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 6mm 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.
