I'm looking for a wedding band for my boyfriend who is very hard on his jewelry. What is the hardest jewelry metal out of platinum, 18k white gold, titanium & any other white metal? And how much harder than the others if you know?

AFAIK titanium is both the hardest and most durable among metals used for jewelry (though being lightweight as well).
Diamond is much harder but it's a stone, not a metal.

Platinum is the hardest. Gold is malleable especially if it's above 14K.

The higher the karat in Gold, the easier to damage, my husband is always hands on and so i gave him a 10k, no damage yet! married in May of this year.
As a few jewelers but Titanium is your best option overall.

I have a titanium necklace and love it. I have heard this is the hardest/most durable.
