When you buy a wedding ring, you want it to
last a long time. The investment is
usually for a lifetime. A ring that is
both durable and low-maintenance is an ideal wedding band for a gentleman. Tungsten is a material that is well loved for
having these qualities as well as a classy finish. It allows you to wear your ring, no matter
what you may be doing, whether you are tinkering with your car or on a trip
doing business. Most people will tell
you that tungsten lasts longer than nickel, gold, silver and titanium.
Tungsten, or wolfram as it is also known, is
a chemical component that has a very high melting point and high tensile
strength. Rings made from tungsten are
actually made from tungsten carbide and not pure tungsten. The pure form of this metal is very difficult
to mold and has to be mixed with carbide to make it easier to work with. Even
though the rings are not made from the pure form of the metal, they still
retain most of the characteristics of the metal in its pure form. These include the high tensile strength and
the high melting point.
One of the key benefits of tungstenwedding bands is that they require very little maintenance and cleaning. The
ring will last a long time and keep its luxurious polish to the end. Because they come in several colors and
styles, every man can find something that suits him. Colors include black, a color that speaks of
strength and poise. You are also able to
select a variety of finishes. A polished
finish will have your ring looking wonderfully shiny, and if there are any
small scratches or blemishes, wiping it with a soft cloth will easily eliminate
them.
Tungsten is a hard metal. In fact, it is second in hardness only to
diamonds. As such, when it comes into
contact with another metal, the other metal tends to embed into the tungsten. By simply buffing away the irregularity, you
will have your ring looking as good as new.
There are several benefits of buying tungsten rings. These include:
- They are hypoallergenic and will not cause any irritation to the skin
- They tend to keep their finish throughout
- These rings speak of luxury and strength
- Tungsten is a very durable and hard material that will not dull or scratch with use. Diamonds are the only ones known to be harder
- The shape of the ring will hold for a lifetime
- They have a good weight, a little bit heavier than 14 karat gold, and strength, and are more dense than titanium or steel
When you are selecting a wedding ring for
your man or a wedding set that will last for a lifetime, tungsten should
definitely be a consideration.
Durability is key when purchasing a ring. It is an investment that you want to last
through the years and may be passed on to your children in the future.
