Ted Crist asked:




Many men that seek for mens wedding rings thinks that they only have two options, which is a white gold and a yellow gold ring. This condition can happen because many local jewelry stores only sell gold ring.

While women think that buying a wedding ring is a fun thing to do, but many men think in contrary. The jeweler usually decorated their store with bright light and a lot of glass to attract attention the customer and enhance the beauty of the jewelry that they sell. However, that method usually is not work for men. Men usually says that all the mens wedding rings that offered to him is nice, not because they like the ring, but because they want to finish this job as soon as possible.

It is different when you search your wedding ring through the internet. There are unlimited choices of mens wedding rings available. You can look for classic 14 carat or 18 carat white or yellow gold ring with many different models or you can look for ring with different materials beside gold.

Titanium mens wedding rings is gaining its popularity nowadays. Titanium is strong yet light weight material, makes it perfect material for men rings. This material is hypoallergenic, which mean they won’t react with human skin. This characteristic makes titanium ring is a good choice for people who have sensitive skin. In addition, titanium is salt water proof.

You can find titanium mens wedding rings with many models and style you can choose. You can anodize titanium with any color that you like, red, blue, green, you name it. Besides that, you can combine titanium with any other exotic material that you like. For example, you can combine titanium with carbon fiber, makes it unique tough look wedding ring. Or you can combine it with wood for a modern and classic touch.

If men like their wedding ring, there is a possibility that they will wear their mens wedding rings every day right? Not only on special occasions.

Stewart Goodwin asked:




Tungsten Carbide vs. Titanium

Titanium rings look great new, and usually are less expensive. It is very common for people to mistakenly believe that the two metals are either the same thing or equal. Titanium is a strong metal but not resilient like tungsten carbide. Over time titanium rings will scratch and lose their polish thus needing to be refinished. Tungsten alone (not tungsten carbide) is also much like titanium. Without the carbide it does not gain its extreme hardness and durability. Only when tungsten is combined with a carbon alloy is it transformed into tungsten carbide, the strongest of all metals. Tungsten carbide is also a heavier metal than titanium which is very lightweight, making it more durable and better looking.

Tungsten Carbide vs. Gold & Platinum

Traditionally gold or platinum were the only choices that people would consider when buying a wedding band, or any ring that symbolized something important. Tungsten carbide has become a worthy substitute to these precious metals due to it’s brilliant forever lasting mirror like polish and resilient finish. Gold and platinum rings are also very brilliant but fade quickly and scratch very easy, over time gold and platinum can also begin to warp causing the ring to become “untrue” (not round). This nasty little side effect often is the culprit behind people not being able to remove their wedding bands and needing to have them cut off. Tungsten carbide rings can be easily removed in an emergency by a skilled professional just as easy if not easier than gold rings.

How to size your tungsten ring

Since tungsten carbide rings are thicker and are comfort fit, we recommend that when trying to decide your size, that you use the standard narrow gauge finger sizers, regardless of the width of the ring. This is to account for the comfort fit shape of the inside of the rings. Please keep in mind that fingers swell and shrink depending on the time of day and temperature. To be absolutely sure of your size we recommend you make your decisions with that in mind. On average many people find that when they are happier with a ring that is a half size smaller then what they are sized for. This is to accommodate the comfort fit of our rings.

What do tungsten rings look like?

Sometimes people will ask “What do your rings look like?” The most popular tungsten ring styles have a mirror polish. The rings are polished to a brilliant mirror finish that will last forever. They are slightly darker then platinum but are close enough in color to be often confused. Some cheaper rings are dark or grainy (not recommended). If you are confused about the look of a particular ring, simply email the vendor and ask them to send more detailed images or better descriptions.

Smith Well asked:




Since you are sure that you have chosen this woman to be your partner forever, then the next thing that you need is to pick out the perfect ring for her. If you have noticed there is a lot of advertising hype pertaining to wedding bands, don’t trust everything that you read they are all part of promoting their product. The project will be great if you will give your effort and time into it. It is not hard. All you have to do is to focus on what is your future wife’s really love and search into something that will reflect who she is.

The first thing you need to consider is the type of ring you want to give her. Actually, there are three types of bands, the wedding bands, anniversary bands and eternity band. The first type of bands is designed to be used together with the ring use for engagement, but it is not given until the wedding day. This can be made of solid gold or contain diamonds. The anniversary band diamonds will depend on the design that you like the quantity of diamonds used will depend on how long they have been married. The eternity band, it has diamonds designed continuously all through out its design. It symbolize that your love is endless, that is were the name eternity came from. These types of ring are perfect as engagement or wedding gift.

Next thing to consider is the budget. Most men will do everything just to make their wedding or engagement memorable. The most common way to do it is by giving a diamond ring. The problem is that they are not capable financially. You don’t have to worry there are designs that can fit your budget. It is best to shop around first before buying. There are a lot of designs in a jewerly that are offered with discounts. It will help you save some money if just give a little time on shopping. There are two things you need to bear in mind while in search of the best engagement ring with reasonable price. One is where to buy and the other thing is what to buy.

Of course if you think you don’t have enough money to buy don’t go to big jewelry stores. Most of the well known and big jewelry stores offer rings with patented name and with high carat. Before you shop around you should put in your mind first what you will buy. Going to jewelry stores without having thought of what to buy will eat up your time and you may even end up buying a ring with low quality and with poor appearance.

It will help if you do the research first. The internet can help you out locating those jewelry stores that offers a wide variety of choice of wedding bands especially for women. Once you locate the store that you think will help you out, it is now time to visit the store and check on their items. Who said buying an engagement ring is a hard task? If you know what to buy or where to buy you will not be having any problem in purchasing one.

Ken11 asked:




Both titanium and tungsten are considered “model metals” in the jewelry industry because they were not available to the consumer market as commodities until ten years ago. They have gained tremendous popularity since the introduction and become an integral part of the jewelry material spectrum.

Due to the rather little exposure, many questions arise concerning titanium and tungsten when it comes to choosing jewelry. The followings are some points of consideration if you are seriously thinking about buying a titanium or tungsten wedding ring.

1. Hardness

Titanium and tungsten are both known for the superior hardness over traditional metals such as gold, silver and platinum. One thing worth noting is that it is not the metals themselves in a pure form that possess the hardness, it is their alloys that do. Roughly speaking, the hardest form of tungsten carbide is harder than titanium alloys, and only under extreme circumstances, such as abrasion from diamonds, can it be damaged.

2. Ductility

Titanium is more ductile than tungsten in the common alloys used in jewelry. In other words, when a wedding ring is under high pressure, such as hit by a car door, a titanium ring would be bend out-of-round whereas a tungsten carbide ring would fracture into several pieces. Hence, in terms of safety, a tungsten carbide ring is “safer” to wear.

3. Hypoallergenic

This is the very same concern as buying silver jewelry to some people: Will I be allergic to the jewelry? In general, titanium jewelry is virtually safe to wear for everybody. Yet, some tungsten carbide jewelry contains the element cobalt that some people are allergic to. Interesting, another form of tungsten alloy using nickel as a binder metal is hypoallergenic, even to people who are allergic to nickel.

4. Weight

Titanium is lighter than tungsten, or more precisely, has a lower density. Titanium alloys are about 43% lighter than stainless steel and tungsten carbide is about 90% heavier than stainless steel.

5. Coloring

Titanium reacts with different chemicals and produces alloys of different colors. Jewelry makers use anodization to coat colored patterns on titanium rings. Black titanium is another form of titanium alloy that has a different color than the commonly used grey color. On the other hand, tungsten carbide is usually offered on in black color only.

6. Pricing

Titanium jewelry is in general cheaper than tungsten jewelry primarily due to the difference in equipment and environment control need to produce them. The temperature for forming a tungsten carbide is about 6000 Fahrenheit, which has to be in either a vacuum or hydrogen environment.

7. Engraving and resizing

Titanium wedding rings can be engraved and resized. However, a tungsten carbide ring is too hard to be engraved or resized. Although engraving can be done, the letters will be very faint and difficult to read. So if you are buying to ring to engrave, get titanium rings.

There is a great demand for mens wedding band as this is one thing which men want for their wedding day. Earlier men considered jewelry a feminine thing and they used to prefer a simple wedding band for their wedding ceremony. But time has changed, more and more grooms want a band that not only shows that they are happily married to the girl of their dreams but also showcases style as well. Jewelry manufacturers have noticed this trend and most of them now offer huge collection of mens wedding bands and other mens jewelries in various styles, shapes, size and colors. Now men have a choice between not only gold and silver wedding bands but those made out of more exotic metals as well. Popular choices include platinum and titanium due to the fact these metals are more resistant to scratches and damage than the softer gold rings. Wedding bands are something special which can make you comfortable with its design and look. It is basically very much comfortable for everyday wearing.

Vasco Kirov asked:




Wedding bands are very specific type rings. They are in a league of their own, defined by purpose and symbolism far exceeding their ornamental function. For men, the wedding band is the most common piece of jewelry and for many – the only one.  Wedding bands are worn by women and man all over the world day and night which is also making them the most frequent piece of jewelry. Because they are hardly off one`s finger, the wedding bands are expected to be comfortable, durable and hypoallergenic. Obviously they are also expected to fulfill one`s aesthetic standards, but while the first three requirements are compulsory, this one is highly subjective and allow wide diversity. The comfortable wear of men`s wedding band depends on many factors including the shape of one`s finger. There are however some common factors which I would like to point out:

In order to be comfortable the wedding band must be “comfort fit”. This means the internal wall of the band must be rounded and not flat. This ensures that the edges are softened and there is only small part of the inner surface of the band in contact with the finger giving it space to “breathe”. In order to have the inner wall rounded for comfort fit, the wedding band should be sufficiently thick and therefore heavier than the average flat wall one. This could be used as entry level indication of quality. The thicker the wedding band the more generous the comfort fit and respectively the higher the price.  Cheap wedding bands focus on the use of minimum amount of precious metal and have no room for comfort fit. In order to make their wedding band lighter some manufacturers leave them with seriously sharp edges. Watch out for these when shopping on low budget.   Other issues concerning the comfortable wear are related to specific wedding bands designs. Sharp outer edges, small sticking out detail and deep carved high ornaments are some of them. The rule of thumb is that the simple uncomplicated designs are the most comfortable ones. I am not implying that everybody must wear classic half round comfort fit band, but I also can`t deny that they are the most comfortable ones.

Looking at the durability factor one can`t help but notice that almost the same rules apply. To have wedding band that will not change its round shape even though most excessive banging we need thickness, a body of solid metal. The average thickness of low end 4mm.men`s wedding band is 1.5mm.

Comfort fit becomes possible at about 2mm.  thickness, while good quality high end wedding band should be 2.3 – 2.7 mm. The type of metal is also very important durability factor. Here is good to differentiate the hardness of the metal form its abrasion resistance. Some hard metals will wear off much faster than some softer ones with higher abrasion resistance. 10k gold for example is probably the hardest gold alloy but it is wearing off at very rapid rate. The educated choice of white metal is definitely pointing to platinum and palladium, depending of personal preferences and budget. The two metals have identical look and mechanical properties with vast difference in specific weight and price. Palladium is 40% lighter than platinum and identical item cost +/- 4 times less making it the perfect wedding bands white media. Both metals are hypoallergenic and highly abrasion resistant. The gold is the best (and the only)metal for these who prefer yellow wedding band and my opinion is that traditional 4.5mm 18k yellow band with well defined dome is the one that suits best most men. Low carat gold alloys have diluted color and low precious metal content and while they are possible option I will not recommend them. White gold wedding bands have low score in every segment of assessment. Their natural color is not appealing; they need expensive maintenance (rhodium) they are wearing off fast and are more expensive than identical palladium band. The popular alternative metals like titanium, tungsten, zirconium etc. are not part of this study since they don’t belong to the precious metal group.

On the design side I will advise my fellow men to keep it simple, for quality and aesthetic balance speak much better than complicated detail. Of course this is my aesthetic point of view and I am far from trying to prove it is the right one. Design is a personal choice reflecting ones personality and taste and every design is right for the one who chooses it. In my experience as studio jeweler however I repeatedly came across men regretting their choice in design since it proved to be impractical. Most of them were men with active lifestyle, and/or professions requiring them to work with their hands. In many cases the unsuitable design was chosen by the fiance as part of wedding set. It is not a bad idea to forget about how nice the two matching bands look together in the box at the ceremony and consider the long years of wearing the bands that lies ahead.  Impractical for most men are wedding bands with small detail, including engraving especially in gold since the ornaments will wear off in about one year and turn into deep scratches. Shadow lines and hollowed designs which will eventually gather grease and cause skin irritation.  Complicated mix finishes (matt and polished) which will look good only for few days and very high (over 3mm) bands which will bruise the neighboring fingers. Whatever you wedding band choice, remember that the few classic men`s designs which survived the test of time have one thing in common – they were practical like most of the men themselves.

Scott Jarvis asked:




When a person, typically a man, thinks of men’s wedding bands they will often shudder at the thought of having to wear a traditional gold, silver, and in some cases diamond rings. Not that some of things rings aren’t striking in their own right but most men find these types and style of rings to be somewhat less macho than they would prefer. Having known several men who got engaged recently I can tell you that this is absolutely true.

One of these people happened to be a close friend of mine of many years who got engaged only a couple of months ago. This person is the type of man that wears no jewelry and finds the majority of it feminine. As he’s a compromising person he had no objections to wearing a wedding band but wanted to find one that looked less like a woman’s accessory and more like something a man could be proud of wearing.

As fate would have it, I was invited by both my good friend and his fiancée to help them look for Mens Wedding Bands. This is normally the type of thing I really try to stay away from but I wanted to go if for no other reason that to razz my friend about the ring he was going to be wearing for the rest of his life. As it turns out however that opportunity would never arise as almost immediately after we started searching we came across some rings made of titanium and others of Tungsten.

These rings where far different that anything any of us had ever seen. I saw a few too that I would even consider purchasing if I were not already married. The one ring in particular that really caught my eye and his as well was a titanium ring with multicolored inlets. The ring itself was solid black but the inlets where a bluish silver which really made the ring look great. This ring however was a bit outside of his fiancée’s budget and so he ended up with a grey titanium ring with crisscrossing in cut lines.

I’ll say this about men’s wedding bands. They’ve come a long way in a short amount of time. When I got married five years ago I never saw anything like I saw out with my friends. The tungsten and titanium specifically made the more traditional gold and sliver men’s rings look pale and weak. Now that I’ve seen these types of rings I will be suggesting them to the remaining friends of mine who have yet to find or even look for a ring.

John Rogers asked:




Mens Tungsten Rings are made of the strongest metal alloy on the planet and consequently do not need quite as much maintenance as rings made from more conventional materials. However, though these almost indestructible rings are made to be almost maintenance-free, any ring or piece of jewelry worn as constantly in daily life as a wedding ring is destined to accumulate a little bit of grime here and there, even a tungsten wedding band. Therefore, we can all benefit from learning some basic facts about the care, maintenance, and cleaning of mens black tungsten rings. The following dos, don’ts, and recommendations regarding proper care for your tungsten wedding ring will help you keep your ring as immaculate and striking as the day you put it on!

Over time, dirt and oils from your skin and food, alcohols from cosmetics, and other substances with which you come into contact in your day-to-day routine can build up on any piece of jewelry worn without interruption and obscure the lifetime shine of tungsten wedding bands. Tungsten Rings band with no other alloy metal, or one that contains a nickel binder alloy, will not give you any trouble during cleaning as the chemical bond is impenetrable to oil. All dirt and oil will stay on the surface of the ring and can be easily removed by simply washing the tungsten wedding bands with hot, soapy water and wiping them with a soft cloth.

Some jewelers sell tungsten wedding ring styles made with a cobalt alloy binder, a cheaper but lower quality material. Use of cobalt binder alloys is generally looked down upon by reputable jewelers because they are not as durable, cobalt causes severe adverse reactions in some owners with allergies or sensitive skin, and cobalt does grab surface oils that can then never be removed and ruin the ring. Since NONE of the tungsten rings we carry contain cobalt, permanent discoloration and oil deposits will never be a problem. You may also find that during this simple cleaning process of tungsten rings, marks that appeared to be scratches will disappear. These are not scratches at all; they are in fact other materials that formed weak bonds to your ring due to its unusual electrical properties.

Mike McKeene asked:




How to decide on a Tungsten carbide wedding band. Selecting a Tungsten carbide wedding band can be a straightforward procedure if you keep these steps in mind.Tungsten carbide wedding bands are taking off in popularity, and with good reason.

Tungsten is a natural metal that is resilient, but brittle in its raw state. When it is joined with an alloy like nickel it becomes four times more durable than titanium and it maintains its polished shine for life.  A Tungsten band is popular for two things; its resistance to scratches and the forever shine it holds.

Tungsten rings can be scratched, but it requires a lot of force and something more dense. A steel file won’t scratch a Tungsten band, but a diamond will. You can even smash on your wedding ring with a hammer and it will still maintain its shape.When choosing a Tugsten carbide ring there are some decisions you need to make.

First a women’s Tungsten wedding ring is usually 5mm-6mm while a men’s Tungsten carbide band is 6mm-10mm usually. Tungsten is a heavy metal so the thicker the band, the more you will feel its weight on your finger.Tungsten wedding rings are typically a comfort fit so when determining the ring size round up rather than down to allow for a better fit of the ring.Tungsten wedding rings, like other wedding rings, can have domed, faceted, beveled, concave, and other types of common designs.

They can also have original designs. If you see a model in Titanium that you like, chances are you can get the same design in Tungsten.

When searching for a Tungsten ring there is one vital piece of information to determine and that is the makeup of the Tungsten carbide wedding band. Many wedding bands that claim they are Tungsten Carbide rings may in fact be Tungsten processed with cobalt in place of nickel. Cobalt reacts with the skin causing spots and color changes which cannot be polished out. The bands combined with cobalt are not scratch resistance and are not as robust as Tungsten Carbide rings.

A quick way to figure out if the Tungsten band is processed with cobalt or not will be the price. Tungsten carbide wedding rings will cost about the same price as gold and platinum rings and Tungsten cobalt rings will cost closer to silver rings.

Tungsten Carbide bands made with nickel do cost more, but they will last as long as your love for each other. Tungsten wedding bands made with cobalt will likely only last a year or two.To recap on how to choose a Tungsten wedding band; Tungsten Carbide is scratch resistant, durable, and holds a shine for the life of the ring.

Decide on the style you like including the width of the ring. Figure out your comfortable ring size. Make sure the tungsten band is not made with cobalt. Enjoy the permanent shine of a Tungsten wedding ring.
