Tungsten Rings: Your Most Durable Option

Tungsten Rings: The Durable Option for Your Finger

When it comes to choosing a wedding band or any other type of ring, there are a lot of factors to consider. One of the most important considerations is durability, as you want your ring to last for years to come. If you're looking for a ring that will stand the test of time, tungsten rings are a great option to consider. In this blog post, we'll explore the reasons why tungsten rings are known for their durability, and why they may be the right choice for you.

What is Tungsten?

Tungsten is a dense, metallic element that is found in the earth's crust. It is known for its unique combination of strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. This makes tungsten a popular choice for a wide range of applications, from industrial uses to jewelry making.

Tungsten Rings: Strong and Resilient

Tungsten rings are popular for their strength and resilience. Tungsten is one of the hardest substances on earth, second only to diamonds. This means that tungsten rings are extremely resistant to scratching and other types of wear and tear. They are also resistant to corrosion, which means that they won't tarnish or discolor over time. Choosing a tungsten ring is the surest way to purchase a ring that will stand the test of time. (Pure tungsten generally indicates that the material is at least 80% tungsten). Keep in mind, not all tungsten rings are made of just tungsten. For example, we offer plain tungsten rings as well as tungsten rings with a colored aluminum inner band which is slightly less durable than the plain tungsten itself.

Tungsten Rings: Hypoallergenic

Another benefit of tungsten rings is that they are hypoallergenic. Some people are allergic to certain metals, such as nickel, which is often used in other types of jewelry. Tungsten rings are, generally, free of nickel, making them a great option for those with sensitive skin. Many tungsten rings contain, in addition to tungsten, a carbon element which, combined, makes tungsten carbide. Tungsten carbide is even slightly stronger & more scratch resistant than tungsten alone--which is why EMBR utilizes tungsten carbide in all of our tungsten rings.

Tungsten Rings: A Timeless Style

In addition to their durability, tungsten rings are known for their timeless style. Tungsten rings are available in a wide range of styles, from simple, classic bands to more elaborate designs.

This makes them a versatile choice for any occasion, whether you're looking for a wedding band, a fashion ring, or anything in between. Men (and women) have been preferring tungsten rings since the 1960s and many people who replace a wedding band are opting to replace traditional metals like gold and platinum with tungsten.

Tungsten Rings: A Cost-Effective Option

Finally, tungsten rings are a cost-effective option when compared to other types of jewelry. Tungsten is less expensive than other metals, such as gold or platinum, which makes tungsten rings an affordable choice for those on a budget. Additionally, because tungsten rings are so durable, they are a cost-effective option over the long-term, as you won't have to replace them as often as you would with other types of jewelry.

In conclusion, tungsten rings are a durable, cost-effective, and stylish option for those looking for a ring that will last for years to come. So, if you're in the market for a new ring, consider tungsten as a top option. You can find a wide range of tungsten rings on EMBR's website, so be sure to check out our selection today!
