A new generation of men’s jewelry

Tungsten and Titanium have developed into an attractive alternative metal used in men’s jewelry.
Coming from an engineering background I have worked with Tungsten and Titanium all my life and never associated these metals with jewelry making until now.
After noticing men’s Tungsten rings displayed in jewelry stores and finding them aesthetically pleasing I adjusted to the idea of buying a Tungsten bracelet.
New ring designs and now men’s bracelets too appear on the market. Tungsten is a heavy metal with a good feel of durability to it. Because of its hardness it is extremely scratch resistant and retains its high polish almost indefinitely.
Titanium is also used in watch heads and bands for its light weight. It can be anodized with various accent colors or gold and silver plated also for accent. Diamonds or color stones can be embedded in Titanium changing the appearance and value of the jewelry item.
