Yes! Please be aware that in any situation where it might become necessary to cut off a Titanium ring - for instance excessive weight gain, hand injury, etc., - cutting through titanium will be more difficult than cutting through gold or platinum. However, it can still be done. In our own jewelry shop, we used a separating disc and flexible shaft tool-items commonly found in nearly all jewelry shops that work with gold, silver, and platinum--to cut through one of our 5mm domed and comfort fit titanium rings. Cutting it all the way through took only 20 seconds. Next, we contacted our local hospital emergency room and asked if they were equipped to cut off a titanium ring in an emergency. Most hospital emergency rooms are prepared to handle almost anything, and ours assured us that it would be no problem for them.

Is titanium unbreakable?

Tungsten and titanium are both performance metals (both are man-made). Although tungsten is the hardest metal, it is also very brittle. Tungsten can act like ceramic rings at times, as they have the tendency to shatter if they are dropped on a tile or concrete floor. Recently, jewelry manufacturers have been creating tungsten rings that are called "Dura-tungsten." Dura-tungsten is a new mixture that makes tungsten less prone to shattering. Although you do run the risk of shattering your ring if you choose a tungsten ring, they also have their benefits. For example, many men like the heft and weight that tungsten rings provide. They are generally very masculine. Moreover, tungsten rings ARE scratch resistence. These are perfect for men who are in the construction industry as they will not scratch when dinged against heavy machinery, etc. If you do break your tungsten ring, you should check with your jeweler to see if you have a warranty that will replace the ring should that happen. Since jewelers should now the risks associated with owning a tungsten ring, they should have some sort of warranty that covers at least part of the expenses of replacing the ring.
