Tungsten is a hard metal that has high boiling and melting point. Tungsten carbide is a grey powder that is compressed and given any shape and size. Nowadays, tungsten rings and wedding bands are in demand.
This is because they don’t have any natural effect on the environment. Most metals and stones are carved out of Earth, and their increasing demand has made it scarce. However, Tungsten is an element that is rarely available in the earth’s crust.
Tungsten is compared to titanium when its strength is discussed. However, when it’s mixed with carbon to form tungsten carbide, it is way stronger than diamond. Wearing diamond and gold jewelry while performing your daily tasks can make them dull and are prone to damage, but tungsten rings can withstand all kinds of harshness as it is tough and has highest melting and boiling point.
Here are some advantages of all jewelry that is made out of tungsten metal –
Toughness
Tungsten metal rings are stronger than titanium. Due to its strength and durability, consumers are taking their eyes off from gold, silver, platinum etc. Tungsten is cheaper than other metals because it is not only used for jewelry, but also to prepare heavy machineries and tools used in factories. Tungsten wedding bands are more reliable than gold or diamond. Wedding bands have to be worn regularly. If you ever scratch it or if the diamond comes out then repairing cost will be high.
Luster
Another biggest advantage of this metal is its original shine. No matter how harsh you are on your ring or wedding band, the luster will never fade. White gold is not a metal, but a polish of rhodium on gold. When you start wearing your white gold wedding band, regularly, the polish comes out and you can see yellow gold under it. Then you will have to take it for polishing to jewelry store again. With diamond, you always have to get it cleaned to maintain its luster. So don’t you think tungsten metal is far better?
Non allergic
There are many people who are allergic to some metal like gold or platinum. However, tungsten is one metal that is non-allergic because of its property. It is a rare element on earth, therefore even if you feel, you may be allergic to it, just don’t panic. It is a metal that will have its shine intact even on your 100th anniversary.
Tungsten rings or wedding bands are perfect for men. Men generally have to do all sorts of physical task in offices and factories. When you have to use your hand to complete a task, it is wise to go for a strong metal for wedding bands. Mens tungsten wedding bands are available in many different shapes and sizes. However, if you’re planning to by one ensure that you provide a perfect size for your finger because due to its hardness property it cannot be resized.
Being cheaper in price, there isn’t any tension of losing it. However, if you ever lose you diamond or gold wedding ring, you may have to pay the price not only at a jewelry shop, but also at home.
