Mens Tungsten Rings

 

Men’s Tungsten Rings have been a popular choice for Men’s Wedding Rings for some time. Why are they so popular? Firstly, Tungsten has the highest melting point of all metals at an astounding 6,191.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Tungsten is also a durable metal due largely to its hardness. While a Diamond rates a 10 on the Moh’s scale of hardness… Tungsten comes in at a 9. Tungsten carbide is also approximately 2 and a half times harder than titanium and cobalt chrome. So, you can see why Tungsten carbide wedding bands are one of the top selling metals for men’s wedding bands.

So, what else makes Tungsten the go to choose for Men’s Wedding Rings? Simply it is the most scratch resistant metal known to man. This makes it perfect for Men who have heavy handed jobs in construction or building. It is also affordable, making it sometimes a better option when comparing the same style Ring in Gold or Platinum which do scratch easily. They also have a good weight to them… the average Men’s Ring weighs between 10 – 12 grams. This can sometimes be 4 – 6 grams heavier than the same Ring made in Gold.

It’s also a misconception but Tungsten rings are quick and easy to remove from your finger in case of medical emergency, easier than gold. Tungsten does not bend out of shape due to its hardness, so in an accident the ring will not become deform where it would injure your finger even more, but it is not indestructible. It will break if enough shock or pressure is applied to it.  The best news is that It is hypoallergenic. People with allergies to gold jewelry can wear tungsten jewelry. Tungsten wedding bands come in a natural gun metal grey colour, but can be plated black, white, or even gold colours.
