<p>Both titanium and tungsten are considered &#8220;model metals&#8221; in the jewelry  industry because they were not available to the consumer market as commodities  until ten years ago. They have gained tremendous popularity since the  introduction and become an integral part of the jewelry material spectrum.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">1. Hardness</span><br />Titanium and tungsten are both known for the superior hardness over traditional metals such as gold, silver and platinum. One thing worth noting is that it is not the metals themselves in a pure form that possess the hardness, it is their alloys that do.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">2. Ductility</span><br />Titanium is more ductile than tungsten in the common alloys used in jewelry. In other words, when a wedding ring is under high pressure, such as hit by a car door, a titanium ring would be bend out-of-round whereas a tungsten carbide ring would fracture into several pieces.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">3. Hypoallergenic</span><br />This is the very same concern as buying silver jewelry to some people: Will I be allergic to the jewelry? In general, titanium jewelry is virtually safe to wear for everybody. Yet, some tungsten carbide jewelry contains the element cobalt that some people are allergic to.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">4. Weight</span><br />Titanium is lighter than tungsten, or more precisely, has a lower density. Titanium alloys are about 43% lighter than stainless steel and tungsten carbide is about 90% heavier than stainless steel.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">5. Coloring</span><br />Titanium reacts with different chemicals and produces alloys of different colors. Jewelry makers use anodization to coat colored patterns on titanium rings. Black titanium is another form of titanium alloy that has a different color than the commonly used grey color. On the other hand, tungsten carbide is usually offered on in black color only.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">6. Pricing</span><br />Titanium jewelry is in general cheaper than tungsten jewelry primarily due to the difference in equipment and environment control need to produce them. The temperature for forming a tungsten carbide is about 6000 Fahrenheit, which has to be in either a vacuum or hydrogen environment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>>There is an extreme diversity of available titanium alloys. In most cases  hardness is governed by oxygen content, though numerous alloy combinations are  available. All of our products, with the exception of our patented Black-ti  &#8482;, are created using 99% (commercially pure) titanium, grades 1 and 2  titanium. These were selected for their balance of high purity,  bio-compatibility, and strength. These grades form more easily, but are  generally the most difficult to cut or machine. We intentionally avoided the  ultra-high strength, aerospace grades such as grade 6-4 for reasons of color,  continuity, lack of purity, and possibility of reaction to the alloy materials.  Further, we prefer and chose CP grade (see the next question) to avoid safety  issues which may arise in the event a hard alloy ring or closed product required  removal. Our Black-ti(tm) is our only alloyed titanium. It was developed after  14 years of research and development. This alloy is comprised solely of other  biocompatible materials.</p>

Scratches will be particularly evident in new ring, but as the ring is worn it develop a natural, even satin patina over the entire surface. This occurs in platinum and gold rings as well.<br />Protect your ring by removing it during activities that may subject it to abrasion or hard knocks. We recommend that you not wear any type of ring at the gym, when gardening, playing sports, or at the beach.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Safety</span><br />For your safety, never wear any type of ring around open machinery or electrical equipment, or while participating in physical sports and activities.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">High Polished Rings</span><br />Minor scratches in polished titanium or precious metals can be removed with a cream metal polish. We recommend using Flitz cream metal polish applied with a soft towel. Use liquid dish soap to remove the polish residue.</p>

Platinum jewelry is often very heavy and dense as is most titanium jewelry. Platinum jewelry is much heavier than gold jewelry because of the density of the metal used to craft it. Titanium is actually really light. It&#8217;s only 60% heavier than aluminum and 45% lighter than steel! Platinum jewelry and titanium jewelry are also naturally white or silver, thus do not have to be combined with other metals to achieve a brilliant whitish sheen.
<p>Most platinum jewelry is 90% pure or more, thus platinum jewelry is an exceptional selection for consumers who are allergic or who have sensitive skin. Gold jewelry might cause allergic reactions in people in part because it is mixed with other substances such as nickel, which can be irritating for some people.</p>
<p>Platinum and titanium jewelry usually will hold up well over time and require little maintenance, other than regular cleanings using a mild soap or cleaning agent. Titanium jewelry is in fact considered one of the most durable jewelry selections available, showing few if any signs of wear and tear over the years.</p>
