Titanium itself does not fade gold, as these are two different metals with different properties. However, titanium can be coated with a layer of gold through a process called ion plating, in which a thin layer of gold is deposited onto the surface of the titanium using an electrically charged solution.

While ion-plated titanium rings or jewelry can give the appearance of solid gold, the gold layer may wear off over time, particularly with frequent wear or exposure to water or chemicals. This can result in a faded or worn appearance on the surface of the jewelry.

The quality and durability of ion-plated titanium jewelry can vary depending on the quality of the plating and the thickness of the gold layer. It is always a good idea to purchase titanium jewelry from a reputable jeweler or manufacturer and to follow any care instructions provided to ensure the longevity and appearance of the jewelry.
