Titanium vs Tungsten Wedding Bands
Weight, scratch resistance, comfort and resizing - the honest trade-offs between modern alternative metals.
Side by side
Alternative-metal bands are popular for their low price and hypoallergenic feel. See our wedding bands in classic gold and platinum.
| Metal | Weight | Scratch | Resizable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titanium | Very light | Moderate | No |
| Tungsten | Heavy | Very hard | No |
| 14K Gold | Medium | Scratches | Yes |
| Platinum | Heavy | Scratches/patina | Yes |
The catch
Neither titanium nor tungsten can be resized, and tungsten can shatter under hard impact. Gold and platinum can be repaired and resized for life.
