While titanium rings and tungsten rings dominate the jewelry world of men today, one can easily get confused and frustrated when trying to decide whether to go with a titanium ring or tungsten ring. This is because both rings are very close alike in their features and almost even look alike in color and appearance.

Both metals will certainly give the buyer a good investment in the long run but the question is what is the difference and does this difference make one metal stand out more than the other?

Let’s start with titanium. Titanium is an industrial metal just as tungsten is. It is a very tough metal out surpassing the toughness of gold, platinium, or silver by a long shot. It is normally gray in color, hypoallergenic and lightweight.

The fact that it is lightweight yet durable compared to it’s counterpart tungsten makes it a very popular choice among men today. The downside of mens titanium rings is that even though you are guaranteed and long lasting great looking ring for many years to come it will eventually start showing scratches and blemishes which leads to the ring having to be refinished.

On the other hand tungsten is a slightly harder metal than titanium which in turn raises it’s durability level up a notch higher than titanium. It is also a hypoallergenic metal.

Another aspect of tungsten is that it can be mixed with carbide which in turn creates a finish to the ring that transforms it into a virtually scratch proof and blemish proof metal. This of course is very important to many men, but one of tungsten’s downsides is the fact that it is a heavier metal than titanium.

Being that tungsten is a heavier metal many men choose titanium rings instead of tungsten rings because weight is an important factor for them. Being that most men are not used to wearing rings, some of them don’t like the heavy weight of the tungsten ring on their finger while others want to feel that their ring is on their finger at all times especially if it’s a wedding band.

The main difference between mens titanium rings and mens tungsten rings is weight. If you are looking for a lighter feeling ring and durability at the same time then titanium would be a perfect choice. On the other hand if weight is not an issue for you and you prefer durability over anything else than a tungsten carbide ring will be the perfect match for you.
