Titanium Band

Eh I thought I was going with tungsten. I ended up with titanium.

Who else is rocking titanium? I'm not too worried about it being resized as these rings are cheap enough to buy a new one if I become a fatass over the years.

It's this bad boy except 7.5mm http://www.shaneco.com/Catalog/Produ...Metal|Titanium

I would like to get a titanium wedding band. I lost my gold band a while back and replaced it with tungsten. I have to coat the inside with clear finger nail polish otherwise that ring and my skin don't get along too well.

Either I forgot or got you mixed up with someone else.... but congrats! The band looks good, though personally when I went with my bro and his fiancee I had no idea where to begin.... they freaking went to that Vietnamese mall in Westminster with like 50 jewelry stores (and no, I'm not exaggerating). Waaay too many to choose from, I have no idea what I'd settle on.

I didn't ask but I met a police officer who opened up beers with his wedding band, haha it was pretty cool. Not sure if it was titanium but it looked flawless.

I wanted titanium or platinum but settled for white gold. Nothing special, just your usual wedding band with the milgrain pattern on the edges..I hate my ring now and want to change it but my wife won't let me. Meanwhile she's been upgraded to a diamond wedding band AND I re-set her engagement ring in a new setting, but what do I get? Bupkis.

Why did you go with titanium over tungsten?

i got a tungsten carbide ring and love it. it has some weight to it, but it doesn't bother me. it doesn't have a single scratch on it for the 2 years i've been wearing it.

my brother had a titanium ring and i've seen how easily it can get scratched. that's the main reason i opted for tungsten carbide.

^ i went with titanium and it does show some wear. Mainly because the center has a "brushed" looked to it. the outer edges "polished" do not show wear,and i am really careful what/how i grab things when wearing it.

I am OCD about keeping things new and clean but it's only materialistic possessions. In the end I'm still happily married and have a beautiful family.

To the OP, dont stress how the ring looks, there are more things in life to "worry" about. Only look at what the ring symbolizes. my

I can't find my ring online but here is the style of it, NOT ACTUAL ring http://cgi.ebay.com/Mens-wedding-ban...item2a0ab52ac1

Thanks all. Justin hit me up. Daniel I text your ass on your bday no response Eddie you love your wife she gives you eternal happiness right?

Yeah I'm doing the deed next year, but we bought our bands and shoot we're almost at 8k in metal and diamonds (that includes her engagement ring). I put the down payment on the venue just saw the check clear

Let's say I'm going broke faster then I can make the money.

I went with titanium because it is cheap and durable. My band doesn't matter anyways as long as I like the way it looks. Her's is real money blah....

It can pierce the armor of Russian made tanks as well. Nice choice.

I love titanium. I have a white gold ring however, but I own a titanium watch. My only beef with the watch is that is scratches very easily. I hope your ring does better. You can't beat how light it is on your hand.
