Mens Tungsten Wedding Bands
Stylish yet scratch resistant for the man on the move!

The Tungsten Wedding Band
If you are looking for a mens wedding band that fits into an active lifestyle, then look no further. men who have worn the tungsten wedding band sing its praise.

The first is the price.  There is no comparison between the yellow gold, white gold mens wedding bands and the tungsten wedding band.  The tungsten is much, much less expensive although it actually looks more expensive.

Second is wearability.  The tungsten is quite a bit heavier and especially more durable.  Men whose occupations are in construction complained about their gold wedding bands being scratched or as one man described his old gold band, "trashed".  The tungsten wedding band, on the other hand, simply seems to be scratch proof whether from lifting free weights or from work.

The ring itself is not affected by magnetic fields which is important in some types of work.

Many men who wear the tungsten wedding band swear it is a ring for men.  They describe the feeling as "hefty" yet it seems to be un-noticeable to the wearer. Although there are some men who comment on the heaviness of the band which was a selling point for them. Most people comment on the shine of the ring and how easily it is to keep that shine -simply wipe with a soft cloth. Some men who wear the tungsten wedding band claim the fit is better than their gold wedding band in that it seems to almost grip the finger.

One of the important questions revolves around removing the ring in case of an emergency.  The biggest fear is that if it is so strong, how will someone get it off if it needs to come off?

The story about not being able to cut through the ring to remove it is not true since the ring does have a weakness. If you use vice grip pliers you can break the ring since compression force on the ring will break it off.  If gripped by the vice grip pliers in the right way, the ring will break off the finger.

This concern emphasizes, yet again, the property of the Tungsten Carbide mens wedding as a very hard metal, very strong metal and very durable metal and heavy.  With the tungsten also uniquely scratch resistant, it is this characteristic alone that engenders many men to this ring.

The tungsten although scratch resistant can be scratched by objects which are considered "harder" than the tungsten.  For instance, diamonds, sapphires, rubies and ceramic will scratch the tungsten surface since they are, in fact, harder than the tungsten. 

However, for everyday use, tungsten looks great and the surface stays shiny which makes it a "must have" for men involved in work or play that could damage a wedding band. Tungsten takes all the rough handling husbands will dish out and continue to look shiny and new.

The grey-white color of tungsten, which is similar to White Gold or Silver, also appeals to most men.
