All the women's titanium rings I can find seem to be eternity bands. None look like the iconic solitaire or center set stone with additional stones around. I am severely allergic to nickle and want the dark tint of titanium but no one seems to make anything like what I want. Any ideas?

Titanium is not used in women's rings for the simple reason that it is considered to be a "masculine" metal and gold rings are much more popular. You can find numerous men's rings with titanium, but not that many women's rings. Titanium is also a metal that is very heavy, which is another reason why it is not popular amongst women.
Because you have an allergy to nickel, I recommend a platinum ring. Platinum is hypoallergenic, and even though it costs much more than gold, it won't cause a rash or worse. Platinum engagement rings come in the same designs as your regular gold ring and feature the same diamonds.
