    Yes - I believe it is 'Urban Legend' .........
    .
    however, it does depend on the titanium ......... or titanium alloy I should say ...
    .
    6-4 titanium is just about indestructible .... but I doubt this stuff would be used for a ring ........
    .
    the grade of titanium frequently used for seamless tubing ..... the stuff used for bike frames (the frame tubes) ... 3-2.5 ... is more than likely the stuff that would be used to make a ring .... this stuff is not too difficult to work with ..... I have cut this tubing with both a tubing cutter and a hacksaw ........
    .
    I know of one place that used to offer Ti rings ........ Boone ...... a high end bicycle component manufacturer ....... I believe Boone is located in Georgia ....... Boone is primarily known for titanium cogs - but they have offered Ti rings and earrings (really neat - micro sized chainrings and cogs) ...... Boone usually runs an ad in the back of VeloNews .......

    The problem with my Titanium ring is the scratches it leaves on everything else.... especially ceramic sinks and cups. They look like pencil lines but will not come off with ANYthing I've tried. This is especially important now that I am about ready to sell my house. Has anyone figured out how to get titanium scratches off porcelain?

    Just a shot, try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.. I've found that it removes even themost stubborn of things and easily I might add..
