Definitions

Scratch-Resistance – The ability of a ring to resist surface scratches from daily wear. Materials like tungsten and ceramic are highly scratch-resistant, while softer metals like gold may show wear over time.
Crack-Resistance – A ring’s ability to withstand impact without breaking. While materials like tungsten are scratch-resistant, they are more prone to cracking upon strong impact, whereas metals like titanium and gold are more crack-resistant.
Weight – Refers to how heavy or light a ring feels on the finger. Metals like tungsten and platinum are heavier, offering a substantial feel, while titanium and carbon fiber are extremely lightweight for enhanced comfort.
Durability – A combination of scratch, crack, and bend resistance, as well as overall longevity. Durable rings withstand daily wear without losing their structure or finish, making materials like titanium, tantalum, and cobalt chrome excellent choices.
Hypoallergenic – Rings made from materials that are unlikely to cause allergic reactions or skin irritation. Hypoallergenic options include platinum, titanium, cobalt chrome, and tantalum, while nickel-containing alloys may trigger sensitivities.
Customizable – The ability to personalize a ring’s design, including engraving, unique inlays, finishes, widths, and even custom materials. Many metals, such as gold, titanium, and Damascus steel, offer extensive customization options.
