True love lasts forever, so why not choose wedding rings that signify the enduring quality of your relationship? The tungsten wedding ring, relatively new as an option for wedding bands, is superior to gold, silver, or platinum in durability, and is virtually indestructible.

Permanently polished and never showing wear, tungsten wedding rings are sleekly modern, with many designs available.

If you’re looking for a wedding band with a solid, substantial feel, you will like the tungsten ring. With their classy-yet-unique look, these rings will fit into your lifestyle for everyday wear. Roughly ten times harder than 18k gold, and four times harder than titanium, tungsten’s quality assures long-lasting beauty. Even if micro-sized scratches are made on the surface, they won’t affect a ring’s luster and shine. Because of this extreme hardness, tungsten rings require little care or maintenance. They are also hypoallergenic and won’t irritate or discolor skin.

There is no such thing as a “pure tungsten” ring. Small amounts of carbon and oxygen give tungsten metal its enduring strength. Most of a tungsten ring’s cost is in the skilled labor required to craft it in such hard metal. Each ring must be individually milled and polished using diamond-cutting tools. This craftsmanship allows tungsten wedding rings to be produced in many finishes and designs. Usually measuring 6mm to 8mm wide, tungsten rings offer versatility. The bands can be beveled, domed, faceted, or multi-faceted. If you want something other than the highly polished look, alternate finishes include “stone” or “sandblasted.”

Carving offers a unique look and allows you to put your own personality into your rings. For example, use Chinese symbols to inscribe “I will love you forever.” Tungsten rings are also available with inlays of precious metals, such as yellow or white gold, or sterling silver.

Proper sizing of your tungsten wedding band is important, as rings are made in one seamless piece, and the metal is so hard the rings can’t be resized with ordinary jeweler’s tools.

If you’re a modern couple who wants to be on the cutting edge of a new fashion trend, or if you’re rugged outdoorsy types who might be very rough on traditional gold or silver wedding rings, tungsten rings will set you apart from the crowd and offer a sense of permanence and timelessness. What could be a more perfect symbol of your love for each other than to purchase rings which will last a lifetime?
