Titanium jewelry and cookware demonstrations

My daughter and her fiancee attended a cookware demonstration recently. They registered for prizes at bridal show. This 'prize' came with the catch of seeing the the demo. Engaged couples were encouraged to bring parents so Hubby and I did our duty. Couples could choose from two gifts. My daughter and her fiance chose a set of black titanium rings.

Until then, I wasn't sure what titanium is. To me, titanium really is one of those science-fiction turned to reality types of metals. I had heard about it so I decided to go online and to see what else I could find out about it. The first thing that I learned is how versatile it is. Jewelry items include titanium bracelets, necklaces, crosses, chains, pendant and just about any other jewelry piece that you can think of.

This cutting edge metal is available in a variety of different grades. Some of the grades that are used to make jewelry items are:

• Aircraft grade titanium alloy
• Extra-hard titanium
• Commercially Pure Titanium

I was also pleased to find out that the rings can be inlaid with the gold, silver or other metals. This gives the pieces an interesting look. 

Titanium is being seen as an alternative to the traditional gold or white gold wedding ring sets and are reputed to be more durable. Basically, this means that the rings my daughter and her beau won should last for a few generations. 

My daughter decided not to purchase the cookware set. But, she liked the rings well enough to keep them. Which, if you ask me, is pretty cool.
