I think I should have my husband bought a tungsten ring compared to the titanium ring, I got it. I bought a strip of titanium wedding, but I started to have some regrets, the more I read on the tungsten. The very bright titanium wedding band, I bought it over a year ago, he designates himself as the symbol of our "Tainted Love". You see, the ring is totally scratched up! (and no, there is no heavy physical work on a regular basis). In fact, the ring was removed from the search, several months into our marriage. A trip to the jewelry, is not on our list of priorities, so that the ring in May continue to be removed from the research and eons to come.
Tungsten is very hard and dense metal, ore extracted from wolframite. It melts at an extraordinary 6100 degrees Fahrenheit, the highest melting point of all metals. Tungsten rings are one of the most metal around. They are about 4 times harder than titanium and 5 times harder than steel. Only Superman could destroy the ring. (again, in case of emergency, a doctor or a professional jewelry can cut the ring with special tools)
Another cool thing about tungsten rings, is that they have a heavy feel to them. And what better to remind your man of his commitment to you, when a hot girl walks by:)
From what I read on tungsten rings, they will maintain their shiny, flawless surface for many years to come. Keep in mind that to be polite, apparently, the ring must contain tungsten carbide. As some rings tungsten carbide are sold and therefore are not anti-scratch, make sure you buy a tungsten ring that includes it.
Beware that many of tungsten and tungsten carbide rings Cobalt in them. Tungsten containing cobalt is more readily available and these rings are sold. Tungsten rings that contain cobalt May cause allergic reactions! An itchy, green ring finger is not cool. Also, after a short period of time the ring will react to the oil in human skin and develop oxidation spots that can not be removed or polished. The spots are unattractive and give an appearance similar to tarnished silver.
