Tungsten - Titanium Ring Comparison
Titanium vs Tungsten Comparison Highlights
- Tungsten and titanium are both known for their hardness over metals such as gold, silver, and platinum. It is actually not the metals themselves, but the alloys combined with the metals, that create the hardness. Tungsten carbide is harder than titanium alloys.
- Titanium jewelry is virtually safe for anyone to wear. Some tungsten carbide jewelry contains the element cobalt that people are allergic to. It is interesting to note that another form of tungsten alloy using nickel as a binder metal is hypoallergenic, even to people who are allergic to nickel.
