Tungsten Rings
Tungsten rings are famous for being both classy and indestructible. This new type of jewelry has only been available recently, but has already become incredibly popular, especially for men’s jewelry.

There are many different styles of tungsten ring, including faceted, beveled, inlaid, black, and polished designs. Tungsten rings have been gaining popularity as wedding or engagement rings because they last a lifetime, making them a great symbol of eternal love. Regardless of the occasion, a tungsten ring always makes for a classy and well received gift.

Featured Tungsten Rings
The products below represent some of the more exceptional tungsten rings available on the market today.
Tungsten Ring Fundamentals
Since tungsten rings are relatively new, there is a significant amount of confusion and rumors about them. This can make nearly anyone nervous about purchasing one. Since a tungsten ring lasts a lifetime, it's important to be comfortable and secure with your selection before making any final decisions.
Tungsten rings have many advantages. They are primarily known for their amazing physical properties, such as incredibly strength and durability. Because they are harder than steel, it's very tough to damage a tungsten ring in any way. This means that the ring will look just as good in ten or twenty years as the day that you bought it. It also means that a tungsten ring rarely needs maintenance and upkeep to retain its beauty.
However, there are a few disadvantages to tungsten rings. Because they are fundamentally a ceramic, and not a metal, these rings cannot be resized. Before purchasing a tungsten ring, make sure that you have the size or your finger known perfectly. While most merchants will exchange a smaller ring for a larger one of the same time (or the other way around), this usually comes with a fee.

Tungsten Rings and Cobalt Binders
When making a tungsten ring, each manufacturer must choose which metal to use as a binder. The primary choices are cobalt and nickel. While cobalt is cheaper, it is toxic to the skin, leading to rashes and discomfort. Because of this, it is crucial to make sure that the tungsten ring you've selected does not have cobalt in it. If a merchant will not be specific about whether or not their tungsten rings use cobalt, find a different merchant. The discomfort is absolutely not worth it. To repeat: Cobalt is BAD for quality tungsten rings.

Tungsten Wedding Rings
Weddings are no longer the sole dominion of gold bands. In the twenty-first century, many new precious metal bands have made their way to the popular scene. Tungsten wedding rings have become an increasingly popular choice because of their obvious symbolism. A tungsten wedding ring weathers any storm and is fundamentally undamaged by practically anything that's thrown at it. This makes it a great symbol of a vow of undying and eternal love. Tungsten wedding rings are not just for the groom - many are specifically designed with brides in mind. Because of their beauty, elegance, and graceful symbolism, a tungsten wedding ring is an excellent choice when the big day finally arrives.

Black Tungsten Rings
Another popular category is the black tungsten ring. There are a few different ways to craft black tungsten rings, although each leaves a stark and classy finish to the jewelry that's nothing short of exquisite. Less expensive black tungsten rings are made by coating a thin sheet of ceramic around the tungsten alloy. This provides the look, but comes with its disadvantages. Because the ceramic is not as hard as the tungsten, the black layer can become damaged far more easily than the rest of the band. More expensive black tungsten rings physically alter the tungsten alloy itself through chemical and heat treatments. This provides the amazing look of the black tungsten ring without losing any of the physical prowess that this material is famous for.

Tungsten Carbide Rings
Tungsten carbide rings are basically the same as regular tungsten rings. Some merchants are simply more specific about labeling the material used in the band.
