I got a tantalum ring. It look a bit like tungsten or titanium but it's much softer.



The ones I saw from a quick search were nice looking but pretty pricey. Basic Gold rings were going for the same price as some of the fancier designs so I think that would be more of a design / aesthetic choice.

Titanium / Tungsten / Silver are for people who want an inexpensive ring.


Funny because titanium is actually a very cheap material. I got a 1" cube of it for about $30. I assume almost all of the price is labor for working with it rather than the cost of the metal itself.


I mean the Tantalum rings, those are the ones going for about the same price (75-90+%) as gold rings.
