Let’s get started.
All That Is Gold
Gold is a classic choice for weddings bands that has been used throughout the ages, while rose gold is a more modern twist. Which one should you go for? Let’s get into the details.
Gold
Gold gets its periodic symbol (Au) from a Latin word meaning “glowing dawn”. And as the only metal in existence with its trademark yellowish hue, it’s easy to see why.
Gold is the most malleable metal that you can select for your camo wedding bands. In fact, one ounce of gold can be stretched into a golden thread which is five miles long!
Gold is safe to eat in small amounts. And although we know you don’t plan on eating your wedding bands, this fact does illustrate how safe this metal is to have in close proximity to your body.
The purest kind of gold is twenty-four karats. Usually, gold will be mixed with different metals like silver, platinum, nickel, iron, or any number of others to make it a little more durable. Gold may also be plated over another material, like titanium, to ensure its durability.
Rose Gold
Rose gold is definitely on-trend at the moment. You can see it not just in jewelry, but even as a fashion statement in everyday technological gadgets. So, what is rose gold exactly?
Simply put, rose gold is pure gold mixed with copper, giving it its signature warm, rosy color. This color is not only fashionable but is also very flattering to many skin tones.
Although rose gold may seem like just a modern fad, it was given its nickname (Russian gold) because it originally gained popularity in nineteenth-century Russia. The adoration of this beautiful metal isn’t going anywhere!
How to Clean Gold and Rose Gold Wedding Bands

Titanium
Super lightweight, durable, and beautiful? Seems too good to be true, right?
Titanium is all of these things and more. Naturally a light grey, titanium can be polished to reveal a shiny, lustrous silvery color which is brilliantly reflective.
Titanium is so incredibly durable and strong that you could hit it with a hammer and it would not sustain any damage. If you live a very active lifestyle, you work with your hands, or you’re often outdoors or in water, titanium is a great option for your camo wedding bands.
Titanium rings are quite affordable. If you’re looking at titanium camo wedding rings that are over one hundred dollars, you’re being swindled.
Titanium is so safe, durable and resistant to corrosion that it is even used in surgical implants. However, it’s durable nature does mean that titanium rings cannot be resized. So if you decide on purchasing titanium wedding bands, make sure that you use a ring sizing chart to ensure that you get the right ones.
