The Wonderful World of Tungsten Wedding Bands

By Haven Meriman


The nice thing about tungsten rings is that it doesn't matter whether you are wearing a ring designed specifically for a woman or if you are purchasing a men s wedding band, these rings will not scratch and will hold their polish.

Tungsten ring popularity has increased over the past 5 years due to the metal's incredible strength and virtually indestructible nature. The most popular styles of tungsten rings originally were polished ring styles. The forever luster of a polished ring were popular for both men and women. The forever shine will look beautiful for years to come. With the increasing popularity for the metal also comes increasing and advancing technology. Advancing technology brought tungsten rings with many different finishes to choose from. People can now choose from tungsten ring finishes including brushed, lasered, sandstone, hammered and colored. Colored tungsten rings consist of black, gold and pink zirconium plated.

Brushed carbide rings have a satin finish which is more matte than polished. Brushed rings are ideal for those seeking a simple ring without the high polished shine that tends to stand out. A lasered tungsten carbide ring is a ring with a flat lasered design circling the ring. This lasering could detail a design or just be a simple finish covering the outer surface of the ring. Lasered rings are ideal for those who are seeking slightly more unique ring rather than a simple polished or brushed finish.

Tungsten was discovered in the late 1700's and was known back then as wolfram. After a bit of work and some very tedious experiments for several years scientists concluded that this new substance could be used to make a new metal. In 1783 two brothers, Jose and Fausto Elhuyar found an acid in wolframite that was similar to the one found in tungstic acid and were thus able to isolate the tungsten by reducing the acid in it with charcoal. The brothers are recognized as the ones who discovered the element of tungsten.

Colored tungsten rings consist of black, gold and pink. Colored tungsten rings are plated with a zirconium coating to achieve this finish. The luster of colored rings is beautiful and both black and gold are extremely popular however the finish will not last forever.
