Uncovering Tungsten Wedding Band
Myths – Advantages of this amazing precious metal
Tungsten men’s wedding bands are
quickly becoming one of the most popular wedding rings for men. Tungsten rings
have many advantages over traditional wedding rings or bands made from
platinum, gold or silver. We will look at some of these differences and
highlight the benefits of tungsten carbide wedding rings for the man in your
life.
Myth #1 – Tungsten cannot
be removed in case of an emergency
A common concern for many considering a wedding band made
from tungsten is that it will not be able to be removed easily in case of an
emergency. This myth abated when doctors and jewelry shops spoke out debunking
this myth. Tungsten bands are designed to break under the correct pressure and emergency
rooms and jewelers are equipped with the equipment to facilitate such a removal
without harm to the wearer. In fact, tungsten carbide wedding bands are considered
to be safer than a band made from softer metal because tungsten bands do not
bend. In a critical moment the band will break into pieces rather than bending
and applying painful pressure or causing further damage, such as gold tends to
do.
Myth #2 – Tungsten is
not gold and weddings bands must be gold
Tungsten carbide wedding bands are growing quickly in the bridal
jewelry industry due to the strength of the metals and its considerable
resistance to being scratched or dented. The rings are roughly 10 times harder
than 18k gold and 4 times harder than titanium. On the hardness scale for
metals, gold ranks 2, tungsten 8, and diamonds 10. In addition to its classy
look and high polish many men are attracted to its technical nature. Men who
work with their hands usually do not want to wear rings that will easily be
pitted or scratched. Tungsten will maintain its luster and look even with the
most challenging professions. Many men in construction, woodworking, plumbing,
or any profession that relies on using one’s hands, prefer these rings for
their manly nature and endurance to what is thrown at them.
Allergies
have also caused many men to forgo wearing a wedding band and caused the wives
sadness that their husband cannot enjoy the ring that symbolizes their union.
Tungsten alloy is special and valuable due to the hypoallergenic nature of the
metal. Those with allergies to gold, silver, or nickel will be able to wear
these rings and enjoy having them as their status symbols like the rest of the
world. The jewelry industry enjoys putting certain metals on a pedestal, but
the reality is that any metal that you choose to symbolize your love is
valuable.
Myth #3 – Tungsten bands
can be resized
Unfortunately, this myth is true. Tungsten wedding bands
cannot be resized in case your finger size changes. However, many people never
find a need to have their wedding bands resized. My parents have had their
original wedding bands for 30 years. If you did find yourself in the position
of needing a smaller or larger size, you will need to order a new ring. The
best bet is to purchase your rings from a jewelry site that has a lifetime guarantee
on their rings, which fortunately, http://uniquetungstenrings.com
has!
To
find your ring size, please use our RING SIZE FINDER document. Download the Amazon Ring Size Finder PDF file, print it and follow the
instructions. However, for the most accurate ring size measurements, visit any
jeweler and have them size your finger and then use those measurements when
ordering. We at http://uniquetungstenrings.com
have a guarantee that if your ring does not fit you can send it back for one
that does!
