Triton launches two new lines
Contemporary men’s jewelry brand Triton has introduced TungstenAir, a patented new metal that Triton said has the durability, strength, and scratch-resistance of tungsten carbide but weighs less.
The TungstenAir collection consists of 30 different styles of scratch-resistant men’s bands, including 24 rings in the “Sport” collection. The Sport collection has traditional styles as well as rings with a “pop of color”--Arctic white, midnight, electric blue and fire red--on the inside and edge.
Triton also has released its new Black Ti collection, featuring a strong, lightweight patented metal formulation that creates a dark, glossy black titanium material that is scratch resistant.
The rings in the collection also feature sterling silver on the inside for a “trendy black and silver contrast.” They range in price from $335 to $355 retail.
