The Titanium Workshop... the Highest Technology Jewellery
The Titanium Workshop is operated by Arnell Workshop inc. We are an online jewelry store providing unique handcrafted aircraft grade titanium, black titanium rings and titanium wedding bands.
We were the first to use of the ultra strong and authentic aircraft titanium alloys 6Al-4V and 6Al6V2Sn wedding rings on the internet as well as the first with the titanium tension setting ring concept. You will now see both ideas showing in many places.
The Abyss Replica ring was also first brought into creation by our company, as documented in the commentary in the DVD version of the Abyss movie. The website address shown in chapter 10 entitled "The Ring" shows our old but still active internet URL (http://titaniumengagement.com/abyss.html). Get the DVD and see it yourself !
First known as "Menachite", titanium was re-named 200 years ago by one Dr. Martin H. Klaproth, who referred to the giants of Greek mythology, the Titans. Titanium's atomic number is 22, with the atomic weight being 47.9.
Titanium is completely neutral to the human body and is used in the medical field to replace heart valves, and bones. Because of its neutrality it will not cause discoloration nor irritate the most sensitive skin types. Although titanium's working techniques are more constraining than the ones used for precious metals; titanium and high-grade titanium alloys are perfectly suitable and the best choice for use as jewellery, watches and body jewellery. In fact, a ring or piece of jewellery made of aircraft grade titanium may outlive its owner !
Aircraft grade titanium alloys are about 3 times stronger than stainless steel, and approximately 45% lighter. They are much more durable and resistant to wear than gold, silver, or platinum. Aircraft grade titanium (6Al/4V) is 300 to 800% stronger than basic grade (C.P.) titanium. Extra-hard titanium (6Al/6V/2Sn) is approximately 130% stronger than 6Al/4V titanium. Basic grade titanium's hardness can be compared to platinum's, only much lighter.
Today, titanium qualities are well known and appreciated. It is prominently used in the sports and leisure industry, and has numerous medical applications. It is also used in achitecture (Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain), furniture, accessories (eyeglass frames, watches, cases, clips...). Apple computers recently put a titanium laptop computer on the market; we now can even find "titanium" batteries !
Most of our titanium rings can be shipped within 1 to 5 business days following order confirmation date. Tension settings and special titanium jewelry ring styles (etched designs, gold inlays) could be delivered within 10 business days following order confirmation date, depending on our schedule at the time. All orders are confirmed upon received payment.
We want to, and do deliver pleasant customer service, along with peace of mind with your online shopping experience. Tour our site for more information, or feel free to send us a message if you have any additional concerns or questions ! We will be glad to help you in your research.

If you have been a diligent shopper, you will have noticed many websites that offer titanium rings. Prices average to $180 for their rings and often cost more for aircraft grade titanium. We have seen a few samples of other titanium rings manufacturers : Some of them have very sharp edges and poor finishes on the inside !
We work in a small metal machine shop that performs high level work. Precision machining is our specialty. Aircraft grade (6Al/4V alloy) titanium is an excellent ring material and has held our interest for many years now. Experimenting with this metal has even been a longtime hobby.
Our experience lead us to think that we could make nice, long-lasting "aircraft grade" titanium bands at a better cost than the ones shown on other titanium jewelry websites, with a high-quality inside and outside finish, accurate sizing and comfortable edges and fit.
Every ring we make is made with this grade of titanium. It has a much greater hardness than traditional jewelry metals and can resist normal wear and tear to a much greater extent. We simply love it !
Titanium is also almost totally resistant to corrosion and will never tarnish. It is so compatible with the human body it is used for implants. It will never cause an allergic reaction when worn as a piece of jewelry. Rings made from it are also very light in weight and feel comfortable and silky.
We are now able to offer you a great variety of regular
titanium bands : over 30 different styles.
We have organized our models into a few different categories
for ease of viewing. Each category has a single price.
The cost begins at $95 for our regular band type rings.
We do not charge more for a larger size or width unlike
many websites do, and we can make your ring in all
the sizes you would expect from a qualified jewelry shop,
including 1/2 and 1/4 size increments.
Despite this being a off hours hobby for us, we usually take no longer than a few days to complete most of our ring orders.
Dependable, excellent sizing and finish, aircraft grade
titanium, a wide selection at a low cost and delivery in days (not weeks)
is what you will find in our website.
