Tungsten Ring & Titanium Ring

Many people think tungsten and titanium are very similar metals, but in reality they are actually very different.  If you were to hold a tungsten ring and a titanium ring in your hands, the first thing you would notice is the weight.  Titanium ring is very light weight.  It feels as if the ring were made of plastic, many people do not believe they are holding a metal object.  Tungsten, on the other hand, is a very dense metal.  It feels as if you are holding a gold ring.  Many people prefer the weight and heft of tungsten ring because they feel that their wedding ring should be something strong and heavy feeling.  

After all, one of the reasons people cherish platinum is because it also has a heavy weight.  A difference between the metals that is not noticeable immediately is that tungsten is very hard, so it is very difficult for a tungsten ring to get scratched.  In fact it is the hardest metal on earth, only non-metals such as diamonds are harder than tungsten.  Titanium is about 4 times less hard than tungsten.  It is quite easy to scratch a titanium ring.  One drawback of tungsten being so hard, is the metal does not bend.  If enough force is applied the ring can crack or break, whereas titanium ring will bend out of shape.
