You can purchase raw titanium for probably less than US$30/Kg, whereas for a cut diamond weighing one carat or .20 grammes, you can spend US$2,000-$8,000.

Which is strongest - titanium or diamond?
Diamond can withstand more heat without being melted. You can shatter a diamond with a bullet/blunt object with a medium amount of force. A bullet/blunt object would not make a single imprint on Titanium. For proof watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_uO7PU8l8Y (A man forging a titanium knife). At the 8:37 mark, he takes a sledgehammer with a six pound iron head on it, and smacks the knifeblade (which is not even 1 CM thick) sideways as hard as he can, and not a single scratch. Titanium is denser than diamond even though it is classified as a low-density metal. Diamond comes from the Greek word Adamas (αδάμας), which means "Invincible". Titanium comes from the word "Titans", which in Greek mythology were incredibly powerful beings that challenged and defeated some Greek gods. Its a really close call.
