Tungsten Carbide Rings


Woman's tungsten rings are becoming popular not only for their beauty and strength but also for the reason that a woman can match her partners tungsten band. Woman's tungsten wedding rings are of many types depending upon their width. They can be a thin, more feminine width or a wider width fashion piece. Women can get whatever design she desires as the tungsten companies are now able to accommodate different tastes of style. Short description of the most popular woman's tungsten band styles are given below.

Diamond set tungsten: Tungsten rings ordained with gemstones and diamonds are sturdy, trendy and attractive. Even though tungsten rings cannot be created into a diamond solitaire setting, a unique wedding band can be created by burnishing diamond into metal. Most attractive settings for diamond tungsten rings include a burnished eternity setting and a burnished diamond trio.

Polished tungsten wedding bands: Polished tungsten rings are completely scratch resistant and vibrant. Polished tungsten is most popular among men and now women are also able to get matching bands better suited for them. The majority of tungsten carbide ring companies standardize their widths to 6mm and 8mm. Some companies start at a 4mm width and there are few companies that start even at a 2mm width. Thin widths such as the 2mm can accommodate a woman wearing bands in other metals such as gold, platinum and silver. Thin width will not show the color difference of the metals as prominently as a wider width ring would.

Colored tungsten rings: Tungsten bands not only come in the lustrous metal, grey but also in black and gold. Gold and black colored tungsten wedding bands are plated with a thin layer of zirconium. Zirconium is a unique metal that is very similar to titanium in terms of durability and strength. Colored tungsten bands are unique as they are mainly for fashion only. Over time the coloring will begin to fade and will have scratches revealing the under coating metal. Many companies will cover this by their warranty.
