Titanium rings even have the same pale whitish gray color that makes platinum rings so popular. Titanium, however, is much stronger and lighter than platinum or gold, so titanium rings will last longer and age better, and it is the best choice for very active people. Should you misplace your titanium ring, its lower price point makes replacement more of a possibility. Titanium Rings are popular for these reasons, since a wedding ring is generally worn every day and at most activities.
For tension set rings, titanium is one of the best metals to use because it responds to well to the spring loading technique necessary to create a secure tension setting.

Titanium rings do not chemically react to sunlight, salt water, oils from your skin, or anything else the average person would come into regular contact with, so there’s no permanent damage, but they can get dirty like any other object as dirt and oils from sweat, cosmetics, and such build up on them. It is very easy to clean your titanium rings simply by using soap and water and a soft cloth, an easy and inexpensive way to make titanium rings look good as new.

This is NOT TRUE! A simple pair of vise grip pliers can put pressure on the ring a little bit at a time until it cracks into pieces, with no further injury to the wearer.
