The Exciting Arena of Tungsten Carbide Rings

By Adara Carrillo


The possibilities to customize stylish durable tungsten rings are a major part of what's made them such a craze as wedding jewelry and for everyday wear alike. Of many options for accenting and personalizing these tough and modern rings, a few styles stand out.

The beveled tungsten ring has a clean, simple look that is always classic and tasteful. The many styles of beveled tungsten rings are available in many widths and range from very detailed faceted designs to the most basic polished band. The one thing all these bevel edge rings have in common is the well-finished look that framing a piece of jewelry with a subtle beveled edge creates. The tungsten wedding bands for men and ladies are famous for their scratch resistance and strength. These pieces are shiny, sturdy, and permanently polished, making the tungsten wedding band the choice of grooms and brides who need rings that are built to last.

Tungsten carbide exhibits a cool, gun-metal shine that exudes strength, and tungsten rings provide an everlasting durability that resists scratching. Styles like tungsten Celtic wedding bands are precision laser etched with intricate and handsome designs to express your personal sense of fashion and identity. These rings are not specific only to weddings but can serve as an everyday men's ring. Also, the laser etched designs are not limited to Celtic imagery-- if you prefer something edgier and modern, you might find laser-etched designs featuring barbed wire, fiery flames, tribal motifs, and more.

One should keep in mind that although natural-tone tungsten is scratch resistant, the black color on tungsten black wedding rings is a plated coating on the surface which can wear off and scratch over time. Many people still choose these rings because the black is so richly hued and seems to glow, but if you are concerned that the coating will not withstand your active lifestyle, go with a solid black ceramic ring. If a completely black ring is not quite your style, perhaps a permanently polished tungsten carbide band in tungsten's natural pale grey color and just a touch of black is what you need; in that case, try a tungsten carbide ring accented with black enamel or black carbon fiber inlay.

When shopping for tungsten weddings bands pros and cons are an important thing to consider. Do you like flat, domed or concave rings? Would you like to add a bit of detail through etching or engraving? Is this ring a comfort fit or standard fit ring? This is a good question to ask, because the two styles of fit cause a small difference in the sizing of the rings, generally half a size. Most tungsten rings are comfort fit and should be chosen one half size smaller than a standard fit, so be sure to ask.
