Shopping for a man’s wedding band is not always easy. Although there are fewer options out there, you still have to consider which metal suits his personality and style.  Tungsten has become the most popular men’s ring metal in the United States and for a reason.

What is Tungsten?

Tungsten is a pure element that can be forged into strong and durable alloys, including tungsten carbide alloys, and combined with nickel to create spectacular rings. Tungsten carbide is the hardest metal used for commercial jewelry, making tungsten wedding rings desirable for those involved with physical activities that might scratch or damage softer metals. Its polish is permanent and does not wear off even after years later.

Tungsten’s Important Features

  1. Luster: Tungsten is strong and resistant to corrosion and retains its sheen and luster for a long time.
  2. Color: The most popular color is gunmetal gray to accentuate masculinity. Also available in white, platinum and white gold. Black tungsten rings are plated and coated in black.
  • Weight: Tungsten is heavy, which is a positive attribute in jewelry, as it feels solid, substantial, and durable.

Common Styles for Tungsten Wedding Rings

Most tungsten wedding bands are designed for men, therefore heavier and wider than traditional women’s wedding rings. However, this does not necessarily mean that the rings are plain. On the contrary, tungsten rings come in a variety of styles, including:

  • Inset diamonds or gems in protected flush or bezel settings to add sparkle.
  • Symmetrical grooves to create patterns or carvings around the band.
  • Rounded, square, and ridged edges for a simple yet sophisticated pattern.
  • Precious metal inlays of silver, platinum, or mokume-gane for contrasting colors.
  • Different alloys proportions to create a ring color from light gray to dark.

Purchasing Tungsten Wedding Bands

You can get affordable tungsten wedding rings from IntelliRings which is one of the most trusted wedding bands suppliers. When making a purchase, a couple should investigate the business through customer reviews, published customer service policies, and Better Business Bureau to confirm its credibility.

Pros and Cons of Tungsten Wedding Bands

Tungsten rings are extremely scratch-resistant and durable. They are also resistant to corrosion and tarnish, and do not require rhodium plate. They are also available in a variety of finishes and at reasonable prices.

The main con about tungsten is that the rings cannot be resized, and couples who add weight later often have to buy a new ring.

Tungsten wedding rings are rapidly gaining popularity for their strength, durability, and distinctive qualities. With the wide range of styles available for any budget, any groom-to-be will be able to find the right ring to symbolize the new marital status.
