Why Titanium and Stainless Steel jewelry are cheaper then Tungsten jewelry?
Titanium and Stainless Steel jewelry are in general cheaper than Tungsten jewelry primarily due to the difference in equipment and environment control need to produce them. The temperature for forming a Tungsten carbide is about 6000 Fahrenheit, which has to be in either a vacuum or hydrogen environment. And since Tungsten carbide has high density it can be cut only with special machinery.
