My husband recently broke his wedding band. It snapped in two piecesFrown.  We are currently looking for a different type of ring. Do you guys know the difference between Titanium and Tungsten?

    Tungsten is definitely harder and titanium.  I know that.  Tungsten also doesn't scratch easy, so that's good.

    Titanium I've heard is better if you're in the sun a lot or in salt water a lot. 

    I just googled it and this explains it better.

    My FI is going with tungsten because he was worried about wear and tear on his band.

    The only problem with tungsten is that if it drops just right, it will break.

    It really depends on what you are looking for your ring to do. But if you are living in South Florida then I would sugguest going with Titanuium because of the amount of sun and the humidity in the area. The other dangers of Tungsten is that since its extremely strong, if anything happened to cause a swollen finger, there would be no way to remove the ring since the ring can not be cut off.

    Tungsten Rings: FAQ


     
    Can a Tungsten ring be cut off? 
    Yes!  In any situation where there might be a medical necessity to cut off or remove a tungsten ring--for instance excessive weight gain, hand injury, etc.--removing a tungsten ring doesn’t pose much more of a challenge than cutting through a gold or platinum wedding band.  In our own jewelry shop, as in many other jewelry shops, we have a cutting tool designed for cutting titanium and tungsten wedding bands. In addition, tungsten bands can be fractured into pieces using vise-grip pliers.  When we contacted our local hospital emergency room and asked if they were equipped to remove tungsten wedding bands in an emergency, they told us that most hospital emergency rooms are prepared to handle almost anything, and assured us that it would be no problem for them.

    I found this article on the site www.tungstenuniverse.com
    I think Im going with Tungsten, its more durable and cheaper than Titanium....
