Titanium gained fame from its use in aerospace applications. Since titanium was introduced to jewelry design a few decades ago, its use has increased tremendously, keeping pace with popular demand, prompting many jewelers to expand their jewelry lines to include this wonderful inert metal.

Tungsten carbide was previously used for industrial applications. Jewelry made from it has an even more incredible strength - it is four times harder than titanium and twice as hard as steel - this metal is so tough that it can only be damaged by diamond abrasion or a hammer blow. These jewelry utilizes the qualities of this metal to its full advantage; all of the styles accent masculine prowess and every wardrobe.
