A ring you forget you're wearing is a ring you'll actually keep on. That's the case for titanium: it's noticeably lighter than tungsten or gold, comfortable through a full day of work, and tough enough that you don't have to think about it. For men buying their first ring, that combination is hard to beat.
Most of this collection is built around clean, masculine designs — brushed flat bands, domed profiles, black titanium with polished bevels — but it stretches well past the basics. There are bands inlaid with Koa wood, walnut, genuine whiskey-barrel oak, carbon fiber, and lava stone; rings set with black sapphires, channel-set diamonds, or a single tension-set stone; and statement pieces like black titanium signet rings with onyx. Gold-plated and anodized finishes add color without giving up titanium's light weight. Designs come from makers including Edward Mirell, Lashbrook, and Triton.
Titanium rings ship free from Larson Jewelers and carry a lifetime warranty with lifetime sizing. Start with the filters — width, finish, inlay — and work toward the ring you'll wear for decades.
