Men’s Tungsten Rings have been a popular choice for
Men’s Wedding Rings for some time and even more so recently with the constant
increase in Gold prices. A fun fact is that Tungsten has the highest melting point of all metals at an
astounding 6,191.6 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes Tungsten 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, and it’salso approximately 2 and a half
times harder than titanium and cobalt chrome.
With many couples looking for alternatives for not only metal
but design and style…Tungsten seems to be in the forefront with it’s
durability, price point and colour options.
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 Tungsten Ring
weighs between 10 – 12 grams. This can sometimes be 4 – 6 grams heavier than
the same Ring made in Gold.

A great feature of Tungsten Rings is that they don’t bend out
of shape due to their hardness, so where many Gold bands can lose their shape
over time if made too thin Tungsten will remain the same. Even if set with
inlay of stones compared with a Diamond and Gold band where movement can cause
stones to come loose. Tungsten’s are not indestructible however. They will
break if enough shock or pressure is applied to them.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, blue, or even gold colours.
