About this ring
Platinum line, titanium, in detail
A flush line of platinum 950 runs down the centre of a satin titanium band. Both are white metals, but not the same white: the platinum is brighter and cooler, the titanium a soft grey, so the line reads as a seam of light rather than a contrast of colour. Because the inlay sits flush, the ring has one smooth surface, and the eye sees two metals where the finger feels a single band. It is the subtlest of the inlay rings and the way to precious metal on a ring with no gold in it at all.
How it wears
Titanium is the lightest metal in the range, at about 4.5 grams per cubic centimetre, so even a wide band sits lightly on the hand. It can pick up fine surface marks, and a satin finish suits that, because it is already a texture of fine lines that new ones fold into. The platinum lies flush with the titanium, leaving no edge to catch on a sleeve. Both metals are hypoallergenic. Abrasive or high impact work is the one time the ring is better left off.
Choosing yours
On a narrow band the platinum line makes up a good share of what you see and the precious metal feels prominent; at 8 to 10mm a broader field of grey titanium surrounds it, and the ring reads more modern and architectural. It suits someone who wants precious metal but not gold, and who is drawn to white metals rather than warm ones. For a little more platinum, Twin platinum lines, titanium carries two lines on the same satin band, and the two rings make a natural pair.

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. GETi 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, and hypoallergenic, so it is a sound choice for skin that reacts to nickel. It is not a precious metal, so it carries no hallmark.

Work it out before you order
About Platinum line, titanium
- Can this ring be resized?
- Limited enlargement may be possible. GETi says grade 5 titanium cannot be stretched or compressed: machining the inside larger removes metal and cannot reduce the size. Wall thickness, stones and inlays limit that option. Grade 2 titanium has different possibilities, so check the actual grade and design. A remake may be offered instead; confirm what happens to the original ring, engraving and finish before agreeing.
- Is engraving included?
- Yes, and 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, and there is no charge and no extra wait.
- How long will it take?
- 2 to 3 weeks. It is made in your size after you order, not picked off a shelf, and 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, and 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 Platinum line, titanium ring weigh?
- About 1.5g at 4mm, 2.2g at 6mm, 3.6g 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 £385, and 8mm, 9mm, 10mm £410, because the wider bands take more metal to make.
- What is closest to the Platinum line, titanium in the range?
- Gold line, titanium (titanium with gold inlay) and Rose line, titanium (titanium with gold inlay). The comparison table on this page sets them side by side on metal, width, hardness and price.
- What if I get the size wrong?
- If it is unengraved, return it inside 30 days and we refund it, and we pay the postage. Use the free ring size finder first if you are unsure, and if the ring is a surprise, ask us and we will talk you through the ways to find out without asking them.
