sterling does not tarnish
Oxidized silver is not necessarily sterling silver but sterling silver can be oxidized. Oxidation is a finish on silver, otherwise known as tarnish. Sterling silver can tarnish and silver plate can tarnish, too.
Most grades of titanium are inert, nonreactive and hypoallergenic. In normal people terms, it will stay as is more or less as long as it is not disturbed. It will become scratched, though not very deeply, with everyday or especially heavy use, but as far as tarnish goes, no it will not. Titanium is acid and base resistant, withstands extended salt water exposer and holds a shine for a very long time with little, if any, special care. The medical industry uses titanium for implants specifically because it is inert and will not react with very much. I had my and my wifes wedding rings made from titanium and couldn't be happier with them. I expect that they will remain in the family for a great many generations. The only care we give them is a light buff with a soft polishing cloth and a little Brasso metal polish about once a year. Even then, they really don't look much different after!
you will need: flowers of sulphur- available from most pet stores boiling water small bowl method: mix together in a small bowl with boiling water- leave silver to tarnish between 1 and 12 hours- it takes about 12 hours to badly tarnish it.
gold doesn't tarnish.
"A wedding band made of titanium will be strong, but light weight. Titanium is an element, like silver, gold and platinum. A titanium wedding band could be a good choice because it's 100% hypoallergenic. Titanium is very durable and won't tarnish."
Stronger is a difficult word to define in terms of metals. What you can say is tungsten is harder than titanium, and as a result of being harder it is more difficult to scratch and going be less likely to tarnish. Hence, why both metals have become very popular as tungsten wedding bands and titanium wedding bands, due to the ability to resist scratching and tarnish better than gold bands.
Titanium is an element. Titanium alloys are relatively lightweight, yet strong, resilient, resistant to oxidation (doesn't rust tarnish or corrode easily), "bio friendly" (you can treat the surface so that bone can grow right onto the metal). though expensive titanium alloys are very useful in many applications
