In fact the strength of Titanium is such that besides rings it is also used for manufacturing automobiles, space crafts and golf clubs etc. There are many medical prosthetics and implants that are also made out of Titanium. The advantage of going for a titanium wedding band is that it is strong, light and hypoallergenic. Besides it is available in many color options too for you to choose from unlike a gold or silver wedding band where you are stuck with one color only. The reason for so many color options on titanium is that they react with oxygen and create a film of oxide on the exterior surface. This film then refracts the light creating the varied color options.
