[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 221062, member: 4012"] Tungsten is close to gold in weight, so your ring certainly would be heavy. According to Wikipedia, "[i]The word tungsten comes from the Swedish language tung sten, which directly translates to heavy stone.[/i]" It's also harder than many types of steel, so it won't easily pick up any bruises while being worn, unlike titanium which is lightweight and strong, but not as hard. I wonder whether Ramjet's son's ring is perhaps tungsten, not titanium? [/QUOTE]
