There has been a lot of hype that has been given to the so-called tungsten carbide wedding bands. Well, it is positive hype though. People are stumbling all over each other in the rush to purchase these bands. They are an awesome alternative to the traditional gold, silver, platinum and other precious metals used for making rings. It is amazing that tungsten is just another ugly metal. In fact, it is not ranked anywhere near gold in the scale of preciousness. However, add a little bit of carbon and you have something stunning that will turn people’s attention to your fingers.
Why tungsten carbide?
Tungsten carbide is not being used to make wedding bands only. You want just another decorative ring to go with? There is no reason why you should not get it fabricated using this material. It is a very strong material and it is available for your purchase at extremely affordable rates. This is especially so if you do the shopping online. There are a number of sites that are dedicated to sale of these wedding bands.
Aside from being a beautiful metal, tungsten carbide is also very strong. Need something strong to work with? There is only one other material on this planet that is stronger than tungsten carbide and that is diamond. It is funny that they are both used to make rings and other jewelry. Actually, their uses are just about the same. They are used for cutting metals and other materials in industries.
It would not be fair not to mention the masculine character of tungsten carbide. There has always been a limitation to men’s wedding bands for years. They are made only from gold, silver and they are always plain. The softness of these two metals makes it difficult to customize them. Tungsten carbide is extremely hard and thus, it can be twisted, turned, rolled and all manner of forces subjected to it to give it a customized look. In the end, you get a very personalized yet masculine ring to take home with you.
Tungsten rings and your fashion
Here is a very interesting thing about tungsten wedding bands- they are very versatile when it comes to styling. A golden ring would really stand out and sometimes would look out of place with some outfits. You want to wear that stunning grey suit you bought recently? A golden ring might not work for the entire look. A tungsten carbide band on the other hand will work fantastically for you.
These wedding bands are not limited to any kind of fashion. It does not matter whether you are a corporate official who wears suits all the time or you are that cool dad who is always in shorts and rides a motorcycle. These rings work perfectly for all men. The best part of it all is that they are extremely affordable. You will not have to pay a fortune to get one of them. A quick search on the internet and you will come across a wide array of options.
