The jewelries that speak a
thousand words and show the commitment that two persons have sworn to one
another are, of course, the wedding rings. Wearing a wedding ring is something
so common around the world, that we cannot say that it is a cultural aspect specific
to the western, occidental culture only.
The wedding ring has withstood
over the years among other marriage related items because it has a sacred
connotation to it, symbolizing the eternal bond and love that connects two
people, due to the circular shape. Hence, the wedding rings are a sine qua non condition for a happily
married couple and it shows thedevotion, commitment and the love they share, of
course.
As well as with every cultural
object that has survived in time, the wedding rings have also got a fashionable
facet to them. Today there are thousands of weeding ring models available
online and in stores that the future bride and groomcan choose from. New models
are designed every year as well as entire new collections that bring with them
even more options to choose from. Although the most common precious metal used
for making wedding rings is white, red and yellow gold (which is the most
expensive at the same time), tungsten has gained a lot of prominence over the
past few years as the perfect material for wedding rings.
But why is that? Apart from being
less expensive than gold or platinum wedding bands, tungsten carbide rings , or simply
called tungsten is approximately three times stiffer than steel and even denser
than titanium. This makes this chemical compound a great material for durable
and long lasting wedding rings. Apart from this, tungsten has a very high
resistance to scratching, which is an amazing quality for a wedding ring. Ten times
harder than 18k gold, tungsten has become a pretty popular material in the
bridal jewelry industry over the past few year, no wonder.
Besides the amazing resistance
and durability, tungsten rings have a pretty updated design making them
a great option for couples who love novelty and wish to spend less money on
their wedding bands. Tungsten rings are characterized by futuristic and modern
design, as well by the high polish that gives the ring that extra shine it
needs. Silvery tungsten can easily pass as white gold for the untrained eye,
only that it is cheaper and more modern looking.
Taking these aspects into
consideration, very many couples today go for the tungsten wedding bands,
whether they choose black tungsten, silvery, diamond encrusted or gold inlayed bands.
There is great diversity in stores, which makes tungsten rings even
more appreciated and desired when it comes to wedding bands.
After all, a union like this must
be celebrated with a pair of long-lasting and resistant rings that symbolize
the love that will bind you together for eternity.
