I chose titanium because it's such a versatile metal. People called it, the "space age metal". The symbol for Titanium is Ti, atomic number 22.
It's highly resistant to corrosion, even from salt water, acids and corrosive gases. Also, due to its high strength to weight ratio, it is much utilised in the aerospace industry. Ti has made space exploration possible. It is also used in the medical field and in particular, for prosthetic implants.
But the uses of Ti do not end here. Ti is also much in demand in the jewellery business, especially men's jewelery due to its hard wearing properties. Application of heat causes a change in the color of Ti, which makes it ideal for making eye-catching jewellery for women too.
