Black titanium is, simply put, revolutionizing the jewelry industry and has opened up a whole new world of unique and exciting new designs. The contrast between the jet black color of the black titanium and the diamonds is absolutely breathtaking. Many customers say the diamond in their new black titanium ring actually looks bigger and brighter compared to similar settings in gold, platinum and even grey titanium.
One question that many people ask is "will black titanium fade?" Well, black titanium is actually the result of pure titanium being sublimated and reacted with nitrogen in a high-energy vacuum environment. This process actually changes the molecular structure of the titanium, creating a new material known as "titanium carbon nitrate." So, since it is an actual material and not just an applied coating, black titanium will never fade. Black titanium has an almost ceramic like surface, which resists scratches. It is not, however, scratch proof. With heavy wear and tear, the outer shell can still be nicked. Because of its increased hardness, and, to address the concern of cutting the ring off in case of an emergency, the blackened portion does not penetrate all the way through the ring.
