Titanium Wedding Rings: The Modern Man's Choice

Titanium is named after the Titans of Greek mythology. It is strong, grey, and incredibly light. It has become a top choice for men's wedding bands, especially for those who work with their hands.

The Pros

• Featherlight: You will barely feel it on your finger. Great for guys who aren't used to wearing jewelry.
• Hypoallergenic: It is 100% biocompatible (used in medical implants). No nickel allergy rash.
• Affordable: You can get a high-quality titanium band for under $300.
• Strong: It won't bend out of shape like gold.

The Cons

• Cannot be Resized: This is the big one. Titanium is too hard to solder. If your finger size changes, you have to buy a new ring.
• Scratches: Despite being strong, it does scratch. Over time, it develops a matte patina.

The "ER Myth"

Myth: "If I get in an accident, doctors can't cut a titanium ring off and my finger will fall off."

Fact: False. While titanium is harder than gold, standard hospital bolt cutters or diamond saws can cut through it. It takes a little more effort than gold, but it is perfectly safe. (Tungsten, on the other hand, must be cracked, not cut).
