All About Tungsten Carbide Wedding Bands

Tungsten Bands have the same or even superior features of traditional metals used for wedding rings. As stated earlier, they possess the qualities of being very hard, durable and resistant to dents and scratches. You do not have to worry about allergic reactions if you have sensitive skin because tungsten carbide is hypoallergenic, just like platinum. White Gold on the other hand, is not hypoallergenic because it contains a high amount of nickel. Also, tungsten also does not lose its color like white gold does after a short time of wear.

There is a tremendous amount of variations that allow you to create a band that is truly "yours". You can enhance your Tungsten Wedding Bands with high quality diamonds, cubic zirconium, a polished or brushed finish and chiseled and faceted finishes are also options. A variety of tungsten wedding band inlays provide even more choices. Tungsten rings are available with inlays of carbon fiber, onyx, mother of pearl and, of course, diamond, czs and other gemstones. All of these combinations helps you create a very special wedding band.

Tungsten Bands Burnished with Diamonds: Cobalt Wedding Bands with diamonds are still only manufactured in very simple styles due to the difficulty of the tungsten carbide metal. Diamonds and gemstones are burnished flush into the surface of the ring set with a simple bezel. At this time small diamonds and gemstones are used so that the durability of the ring is not jeopardized. Tungsten diamond bands are popular among men and women to use as a wedding band.Colored Tungsten Wedding Rings: Colored tungsten rings are commonly manufactured in black and gold. The plating can be set onto both a classic dome and flat band. The plating can also be plated to any width making colored rings really popular among both men and women. However being that the coloring is only a plated over time the ring is susceptible to scratching and fading on the surface. Most manufacturing companies should be able to replate this under a warranty or for a nominal fee.
