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.

Titanium dioxide, also known as titanium(IV) oxideor titania, is the naturally occurring oxide of titanium, chemical formula TiO2.
Rutile is the ore of titanium. It is a mineral that primarily consists of titanium dioxide and is a major source of titanium metal.
The latin name for Titanium is Titanium. The Czech name for Titanium is Titan.
Titanium oxide is also called titanium dioxide. It is a compound and occurs in the minerals rutile, anatase and brookite.
Titanium is not extracted by heating rutile with carbon because titanium has a stronger affinity for carbon compared to rutile. This means that titanium will form an alloy with carbon instead of being extracted. Additional processes, such as the Kroll process, are used to extract titanium from its ores.
