Why Choose Tungsten Carbide Rings?

Every couple wants their wedding bands to be a unique expression of their relationship. Unfortunately, making a distinct statement can be difficult – especially when most rings derive from the same metal.

With this in mind, many brides and grooms pass over yellow gold in favor of an alternative metal, such as white gold, silver, or platinum. However, these hardly rise above the fray either; plus, they scratch just as easily as yellow gold. Thus they are not a good choice for mens wedding bands, especially if your fiancé’s work requires that he use his hands a lot.

To that end, other couples are choosing titanium rings. After all, they are lightweight, and boast a unique tint. But be warned: This trendy metal comes with its own major flaws. Most couples fail to realize that titanium:

• Scratches easily

• Shows its flaws permanently

• Lacks durability

Yes, it’s true: The scratches accumulated on titanium rings cannot be polished away. Obviously, no one wants this reality for their wedding ring. What, then, is the solution?

Choose Tungsten Carbide Rings

Savvy modern couples are choosing tungsten carbide wedding rings. A tungsten wedding ring is:

• Much more cost effective than gold

• Heavier and stronger metal than titanium, and yet…

• Far superior to titanium in terms of durability

• Rated between 8 and 9 on MOHS mineral hardness scale (diamonds rate at 10)

For added distinction, tungsten carbide can be fashioned into a number of designs. Some couples choose to add faceted cuts to their rings; other suggestions for personalizing your tungsten carbide rings include selecting rings that are:

• Beveled or matted

• Domed or flat

• Inlaid with gold, silver, or platinum

However, the newest trend in tungsten rings is truly taking the industry by storm. Black tungsten is chic, modern, and truly unique in appearance. Buying a black tungsten ring is a great way to ensure that your wedding band will be unlike any other.

Just how durable are tungsten rings? Believe it or not, quality tungsten wedding rings will not scratch from daily wear. The only things that can scratch a tungsten carbide ring are diamonds or other stones greater than a 9 on the MOHS hardness scale. Their shine is virtually everlasting, and as a dense alloy, they hold up to daily wear and tear flawlessly. It’s an ideal symbol for the permanence of your marriage.

Tungsten rings are similar in color to titanium; so if you appreciate the titanium appearance, tungsten wedding rings are perfect for you. The unique hue of tungsten carbide will help your matching wedding rings to truly stand out among the crowd.

Diamonds are especially striking when paired with tungsten carbide and are perfect compliments. The diamonds dazzle more and are immediately appreciable as they stand out against tungsten carbide’s distinct hue. Since tungsten carbide and diamonds are virtually impossible to scratch the high polish can last your lifetime and beyond. Diamond wedding rings made of tungsten carbide will inspire and astonish with their everlasting superb brilliance and sparkle; a perfect symbol of your love.

No matter which type of tungsten carbide ring you choose, you will be highly satisfied with the long-term results. After all, isn’t that satisfaction your ultimate goal? Choose a tungsten carbide ring to bring a smile to your loved one’s face – permanently.
