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.
