Titanium & Tungsten are in the same family if you're looking for a non-precious band. Both are serviceable if not particularly awe inspiring. Tungsten will be more expensive due to the current patent situation. Last year it was cheap, but the courts put a stop to that recently.

White gold and Platinum are traditional jewelry metals and are able to be repaired, polished, engraved, and resized when needed.

I went to look at wedding bands for my fiance today and the Tungsten rings were running about $200, did it used to be cheaper then that? Also can tungsten not be engraved? They told me they would have to order his size because they can't be sized, but when I mentioned engraving they said they could do it on site.

The sapphire would likely last 100 years with only minor damage: Scuffing, or a minor chipped corner.

I've been told by many people (not jewelers) that my sapphire will probably have to be replaced with in the next 5 yrs with every day wear, is this not true? That will make me very happy if its not true!

Also, Johnny my engagement ring is oddly shaped and I have no clue where to start on finding a wedding band. I tried a few today but none of them seemed to fit it correctly. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

To add to that, this ring sits almost flush with my skin. I'm in nursing school so I wanted something that would not rip my gloves. I am also a size 4, so something with alot of diamonds I have been told would not be a good idea because they can pop out easier? Sorry for the crappy cell quality.
