Titanium is approximately three to four times stronger than stainless steel, which means its lifespan over generations is slightly longer.  It is, for the most part, denser than stainless steel. This makes it a more substantial metal alloy overall. Consequently, titanium is typically more expensive than stainless steel per price point. 

Titanium is rather skin-friendly since it isn’t usually mixed with other allergenic metals, so even people who are prone to metal allergies can wear titanium without worry. This is a crucial point to remember when shopping for a showstopper.
