You can buy a tungsten wedding band cheaply, but it won’t look cheap. Here is a brief guide to help you decide if it will suit you, and advice on how to get it cheaply.

The virtues of tungsten bands

If you want a ring that is scratch-proof and will keep its shine permanently, then a tungsten carbide band is the right choice.

Tungsten carbide is ranked second hardest after diamond on the Mohs scale. Diamond is ranked 10 and tungsten carbide 9.

A tungsten wedding band is contemporary and stylish, in an understated way, It is also light and very comfortable to wear.

You can get a tungsten ring that is free of cobalt, so it won’t turn your fingers green, and hypoallergenic – that means it is very unlikely to cause you any allergic reactions and provoke skin irritations.

That is why a tungsten wedding band is a good alternative to a traditional gold ring. Every year, a number of unfortunate newlyweds suffer unpleasant allergic reactions to gold rings. Although this is often called “gold allergy,” in fact it is usually caused by reactions to alloys in the gold.

Because tungsten is so hard, it cannot be hand-engraved, so the engraving is done by laser.

Wedding bands for men

Men who use tungsten bands like them because they can do tough work with them and the ring, at least, won’t end up scraped or scratched.

They are especially suitable for a man who is not much into jewelry, because they are lightly worn (once he’s put it on, he’ll quickly forget he’s wearing it) and they are masculine-looking rings.

Getting a cut-price deal

You will probably find it hard to find cheap tungsten wedding bands for men in shops, but they are available online in a range of designs.

If you’re buying online, it’s best to know what size you need, or you may have to send a ring back and ask for one that fits. To avoid the delay, check your exact size first.
