How about Platinum as a alternative to Titanium as a metal for a ring, a noble metal and look very similar to Titanium, but gets points for being worth more than Gold.
What about an inconel ring. It loses points for being worth less than platinum, but gains points for having a higher melting point and better corrosion resistance.Edited by Traveller on Monday 20th April 12:36

I can recommend these people; I'm wearing one of their rings now. (they do mail order too)This is where my hubby got his tungsten ring from - they do titanium too.
If you do get a titanium ring be aware that it will leave marks on lesser surfaces.
These include and not exclusively:
Your wife’s best china!
Drinking glasses
Gear knobs
Bathroom sinks

Palladium may be worth a look too, much lighter than platinum but has exactley the same properties. Its cheaper too!

Interesting question...I was surprised to see that the raw material costs are so different...
Gold, $870 per oz
Silver, $12 per oz
Platinum, $1180 per oz
...Titanium, $10 per lb!
The rings are a lot cheaper than gold or platinum. The missus was more than a little chuffed when i picked a titanium ring!Gold, $870 per oz
Silver, $12 per oz
Platinum, $1180 per oz

now you mention it I'm surprised the OP didn't think of this
splendid idea, really

All, many thanks for the links/PMs, I have more than enough to go on now!
Traveller, I've been trying to wear a heavy 5mm Furrer Jacot Platinum ring for the past 2 years nearly, I managed to keep it on for 5 days before wanting to throw it into a furnace. I need something lightweight!
Cheers
