People prefer the tungsten rings due to the strength, durability and affordability of the metal. For active couples who want a distinctive mean to symbolize their relationship, the tungsten wedding rings are the perfect choice.

For creating stunning rings, tungsten is forged into incredibly strong and durable alloys like carbon and later combined with nickel. Even though pure tungsten is prone to scratches and other similar damages to other metals, tungsten carbide is four times harder than titanium and nearly ten times harder than eighteen carat gold. Thus tungsten can be considered as the hardest metal used for commercial jewelry. For couples who are involved with physical activities that may nick or damage soft metals, tungsten wedding bands would be the safest choice. The polish of the ring is often considered permanent and will not wear off due to the metal's strength.

The tungsten rings are incredibly durable; however it is wise to remove the ring while engaging in heavy activities. Proper care should be given to the ring and it should be cleaned with mild cleansers and soft cloths. If possible, store the ring separately from other jewelry, particularly diamonds which can scratch the metals. Special care should be given to inset diamonds present in the tungsten engagement rings.

3. Hypoallergenic This is the very same concern as buying silver jewelry to some people: Will I be allergic to the jewelry? In general, titanium jewelry is virtually safe to wear for everybody. Yet, some tungsten carbide jewelry contains the element cobalt that some people are allergic to. Interesting, another form of tungsten alloy using nickel as a binder metal is hypoallergenic, even to people who are allergic to nickel.

4. Weight Titanium is lighter than tungsten, or more precisely, has a lower density. Titanium alloys are about 43% lighter than stainless steel and tungsten carbide is about 90% heavier than stainless steel.
