Tungsten Jewelry VS Titanium Jewelry




If you decide to go with tungsten rings, you won’t have to worry about the bling effect going away or scratches and scuffs messing up your iced out gear. Many people have seen their shiny tungsten rings last for years on end. When buying tungsten rings, make sure that it contains carbide, this is what makes it scratch proof.  Do be aware of the tungsten rings that contain cobalt, some have witnessed allergic reactions to the substance, which causes their finger to turn green where contact was made with the ring.






Titanium rings on the other hand, are known for their strength – even car manufacturers have used it for their engines (as well as tungsten). Out of all the metals, including tungsten rings, titanium has the highest ratio between density and strength. It too is stronger than steel, but is much lighter. Titanium rings have corrosion resistance against oxygen, so it lasts long. It isn’t that resistant to scratches and scuffs, so that’s definitely something to keep in mind while shopping for your men’s jewelry.
