Timascus Wedding Rings

A Quick History of Timascus Wedding Bands

Back in the last 1700s, in the sleepy English town of Cornwall, William Gregor discovered the metal inside a mineral deposit in the Manaccan valley. After a brief dispute with another scientist who claimed to find it at the same time, the decision ultimately fell to Gregor, who was credited for the discovery. The name, however, remained "Titanium," which was the name the other scientist, Martin Klaproth, had given the discovery.

He had named the material Titanium after the Titan Greek Gods of Mythology, due to the strength and durability of the material.

It took a long time after the discovery of Titanium, however, for humanity to figure out how to best work with this godly material. In 1932, William Justin Kroll finally figured it out. You can't just roll Titanium out and shape it like other materials often used in wedding rings, and Titanium requires unique processes to turn it into its metal form. Kroll's processes are still used today.

How to look after your ring

Your wedding ring is a piece of jewelry created to showcase your love for each other. If you look after your ring correctly, it should last you a lifetime, or longer, if you plan to pass your rings on to future generations.

There are several pieces of advice we give when it comes to looking after your new ring. By following these tips, you will ensure the longevity of your ring, as well as keeping it clean and looking as good as the day you bought it.

Clean Regularly

A little bit of soapy water can go a long way. Every time you are doing the dishes at home, give your ring a quick scrub. Every once in a while, you should get a toothbrush and give it a proper scrub too. It is surprising how much muck you might be able to clean off.

Store Correctly

Luckily for you, your Timascus wedding ring is made partly of Titanium. This means that it shouldn't scratch like other pieces of jewelry does. You do, however, need to be careful of the other jewelry you store your ring with, as they may get damaged by your sturdy ring. This happens a lot when you use storage like ring holders, which force your rings to rub together.
