The jewelry market is influenced a great deal by the world of business as well as fashion. One business development has played a major role in changing the face of jewelry; the introduction of titanium and tungsten carbide metals. Especially in men's jewelry, these metals are leading the way in the current hot fashion trend in mens bracelets. The qualities of these two metals make them ideal for crafting mens jewelry; they are both extremely strong, durable, lightweight and affordable.

Titanium gained fame from its use in aerospace applications. Since titanium was introduced to jewelry design a few decades ago, its use has increased tremendously, keeping pace with popular demand, prompting many jewelers to expand their jewelry lines to include this wonderful inert metal. Not only is the versatility of this metal creating a stir in jewelry manufacturing, the craftsmen who work with titanium are also impressed by the purity of the metal itself, neither gold or platinum can match titanium.

The industry has welcomed this new trend, developing wonderful techniques to facilitate creative jewelry design of mens titanium and tungsten bracelets, rings and watches, full of all the style that every man wants plus the ruggedness that they need for their active lives-there is no need to pamper this jewelry, it is virtually maintenance free and 100% hypoallergenic as well. Today, you will find more jewelry designers using titanium more often in their work, catering to the men who appreciate this metals luster that is giving platinum some real competition due to its affordable price. The appeal of titanium bracelets for men is natural, its strength enhances their personal fashion style.

Tungsten carbide was previously used for industrial applications. Jewelry made from it has an even more incredible strength - it is four times harder than titanium and twice as hard as steel - this metal is so tough that it can only be damaged by diamond abrasion or a hammer blow. These jewelry utilizes the qualities of this metal to its full advantage; all of the styles accent masculine prowess and every wardrobe.

But be aware when you shop for tungsten jewelry, that the binding used in creating this jewelry is extremely important. There are many jewelers who are using cobalt binders instead of nickel binders to cut costs, which can cause some individuals to experience an allergic reaction.

With the growing demand for these two metals, jewelers are enjoying an influx of new customers, as men discover the beauty and affordability of titanium and tungsten carbide. The qualities of these two cutting edge metals make it a wise choice for many designers who are turning out fresh, new creative designs in mens titanium and tungsten bracelets as well as other jewelry. Used alone or in combination with gold, platinum and diamonds, mens bracelets made of these two metals are setting the pace for the new fashion trend for men.
