…that you’ll have to get your finger cut off? I read that somewhere and it seems really silly, but I want to make sure so we don’t buy a titanium wedding band and have something stupid like this happen.
to janecat: that’s what i’m thinking. i read it on a wedding blog and thought it seemed a bit off.
Titanium is very strong, but it’s not cut proof. I don’t think that’s true. I’m sure they could cut the ring off in an emergency.
The site that I bought mine from said that they could size them a half size up and a quarter size down if it was incorrect on certain rings (without intricate designs)

edit:
I actually found on their FAQ this:
"-Q: Are titanium rings easy to cut in case of emergency ?
A : Yes, they are. Even stronger titanium alloys can be cut without difficulty. We have performed some tests on a 6Al/4V ring with a basic (manual) ring cutter, and went through it in under 2 minutes. The hospital and paramedic issued ring cutters are usually electric, reducing the cutting time consequently."
