Chisel Heartbeat Wedding Band in Black IP-Plated Titanium, 8mm, Size 8–13
*This ring cannot be resized

Product Overview
An 8mm titanium wedding band finished in black ion plating, with a heartbeat line cut along the brushed surface and polished accents.
Titanium is among the lightest and most durable metals used in fine jewelry — notably stronger than gold yet lighter on the finger, with high resistance to scratching and corrosion. Ion plating (IP) is a vacuum-deposition process that bonds a thin layer of color to the metal substrate, producing a darker, more wear-resistant finish than traditional plating methods.
Key Features
- Crafted in titanium with a polished and brushed finish
- Finished with IP plating for lasting brilliance
- Measures 8 mm wide
- Available in ring sizes 8 to 13, including half sizes
- Approximate weight of 8.85 grams
Precious Metals
14k Gold (Most Popular) — 58.3% pure gold. The ideal balance of durability and color richness. Available in yellow, white, and rose gold. The standard choice for fine jewelry and everyday wear.
18k Gold (Premium) — 75% pure gold. Richer color, preferred for heirloom and engagement pieces where purity and depth of tone matter most.
10k Gold (Everyday Value) — 41.7% pure gold. The most durable gold alloy. Ideal for active wearers. Stamped 417 inside the band.
Sterling Silver (925) — 92.5% pure silver. Cool-toned and elegant. Best for occasional wear; develops a warm natural patina over time.
Platinum — Naturally white, hypoallergenic, and exceptionally durable. The premium choice for those with nickel sensitivities or who want a ring built to last generations.
Alternative Metals
Stainless Steel — Extremely durable, scratch-resistant, and hypoallergenic. Maintains its polish with minimal maintenance. A popular choice for mens wedding bands and everyday rings. Does not tarnish or corrode.
Cobalt Chrome — Four times harder than platinum and naturally white. Cobalt chrome rings are virtually scratch-proof, lightweight, and permanently polished. An excellent alternative to white gold for those who want lasting brilliance without rhodium replating.
Titanium — Exceptionally lightweight and incredibly strong. About 45% lighter than steel, titanium is hypoallergenic and corrosion-resistant. A practical choice for active wearers who prefer a lighter ring without sacrificing durability.
Tungsten Carbide — One of the hardest materials used in jewelry. Tungsten rings are highly scratch-resistant and hold their polish indefinitely. Heavier than gold or titanium, which many wearers prefer for the substantial feel. Cannot be resized.

Both suit everyday wear, so choose by finish and look. Titanium and stainless steel bands on this page come in brushed, polished, black IP-plated and colored styles. Check the product page for the metal and width listed, then pick the motif and finish you like best.
What does IP plating mean on these bands?
IP stands for ion plating, a process that adds color to metal. It is how the black, blue and gold-tone looks on these bands are made. Like any surface color, it can show wear over time, so follow the jewelry care tips to keep it looking good.

Cross, Heartbeat and Greek Key bands lead the list. Plain titanium bands in 8mm also rank high, followed by mountain, tree, deer and arrow designs. Many of the leading styles come in black IP-plated titanium or stainless steel.
How wide are these wedding bands, and how do I pick a width?
Most are 6mm to 8mm wide, with a few at 10mm. A 6mm band looks slimmer, while 8mm gives the motif more room to show. Each listing shows its width and size range, so compare those before choosing.
