If you want to purchase jewelry made of titanium thats fine, however the prices on that website are much higher than the cost involved in producing the titanium rings. You are better off buying it from somewhere else.
The cost of the titanium material is very cheap so that is barely a factor in the price. The cost of labor is also a minimal factor because these looked to be machined made. The only other factors in cost would be polishing as well as setting (if you decide to get a ring with a stone in it) which are both not very expensive in labor. So what justifies the price of a $200-300 dollar ring that most likely cost less than $10 to make? Profit!

Why is jewelry made of titanium garbage? Just curious...for things like wedding bands for guys, I'd figure it'll be the best thing since it relatively cheap and durable.
Btw....that site is pretty expensive for some titanium stuff. Shop around, there's cheaper to be found, just not sure of the quality since I haven't bought from any of the places.
Titanium is not a precious metal. Sure its cheap but so is aluminum.

I've got some unpleseant news for you. Diamonds are in fact not precious stones. DeBeers has created an ARTIFICIAL market and demand for what was once considered an industrial material. Do some research.

I am totally neutral about the thread topic.
however:
Titanium is NOT a hard metal. Titanium is actually rather soft. The reason why its strength is oft quoted and talked about is because of its ability to flex tremendously and still retain its shape. this is NOT the same as hardness.
For that reason, asserting that they cant cut the titanium off of you is absurd.
You shouldnt go spreading myths.

Drizzy,
In terms of a rescue situation, where people cut STEEL off you ALL the TIME, my comment was very relevant. Im not spreading any myths by saying that its softer than steel, and you're not telling a lie by saying its harder than gold. no need to over-react. god.
And btw, unless you wear 24K gold, you're probably going to lose a finger on a gold ring too.
