In short
Raised Roman numerals, titanium: price, weight and delivery
| Width | How it reads | Weight, est. | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6mm | Classic, the usual starting point for a band | 2.2g | £365 |
| 7mm | Classic to broad, more of the pattern shows | 2.6g | £365 |
| 8mm | Broad, a ring that is clearly there | 2.9g | £390 |
| 9mm | Wide and bold, best on a larger hand | 3.3g | £390 |
| 10mm | Wide and bold, best on a larger hand | 3.7g | £390 |
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
Raised Roman numerals, titanium, in detail
A dome profile titanium band. The date is engraved inverted: the ground around each numeral is engraved away and darkened, so the numerals stand in bright metal, large enough to read across a room, as photographed.
How it wears
Titanium is light at 4.5 grams per cubic centimetre. It is also hypoallergenic. The engraved ground sits below the numerals, so everyday wear touches the bright metal first.
Choosing yours
Give us the date when you order, written however you like. It is set as day, month and year. A ring made with your date is yours alone, so it cannot come back for a change of mind. It pairs with Raised Roman numerals, black, the same idea on black zirconium, for a couple who want one date in a light ring and a dark one.

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 Raised Roman numerals, titanium
- How much does the Raised Roman numerals, titanium ring cost?
- £365 from 6mm to 7mm and £390 from 8mm to 10mm. That is the whole price: UK delivery is free, insured and signed for. 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.
- How much does the Raised Roman numerals, 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 £365 and 8mm, 9mm, 10mm £390, because the wider bands take more metal to make.
- What is closest to the Raised Roman numerals, titanium in the range?
- Aztec, titanium (titanium) and Koi, titanium (titanium). The comparison table on this page sets them side by side on metal, width, hardness and price.
- Can I see the Raised Roman numerals, 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?
- Settle the size before it is made, because a ring made with your date cannot come back for a change of mind. Use the free ring size finder, or choose I do not know yet and we confirm the size with you before anything is made. If the ring arrives in a size other than the one you ordered, we put it right.
- 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.
