Dramatic Shift in Wedding Jewelry as Couples Turn to Tungsten Rings

February 10th, 2010 Tungsten rings for sale Posted in Information, Wedding, Wedding Band No Comments »

We're currently seeing an unprecedented change in wedding rings, bands, and jewelry as couples turn more and more towards tungsten wedding rings and bands. This shift has been taking place over the past five years or so as more people turn to tungsten jewelry for its durability, beauty, and affordability.

In the United States alone, 20% of all wedding bands for Men are made out of tungsten and the trend is picking up for women's wedding rings as well. Part of the upsurge in tungsten rings is due to tungsten's relatively low price amid skyrocketing prices of other precious metals used for wedding rings. There is also more awareness of tungsten rings than there was several years ago as more people find out about the desirable qualities of this metal.

Why are tungsten rings so popular?
Besides durability and quality of the metal, tungsten rings are nearly as scratch-resistant as diamonds. They are also much more affordable than gold, will outlast other precious metals, and are hypoallergenic – so you will not get a rash from wearing a tungsten ring.

Because of their price and durability, some couples are purchasing tungsten rings as a second set of wedding rings – one for everyday wear that they don't have to worry about. While it's nice to have a gold ring, the durability and affordable price of tungsten makes these rings a prime choice and it appears they will remain that way for the foreseeable future.
