Tungsten wedding bands!?!

E'Delana, on August 27, 2017 at 3:51 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 18

So I've been trying to figure out what kind of band to get for FH and he found one that was tungsten carbide and I never really thought about anything other than white and yellow gold. I've been researching and saw some pros and cons to it but just wanted to know if any others are considering a tungsten band or have one!?!

    My husband has one Smiley smile

    Pros: never scratches

    Less expensive

    Comes in different colors and shades

    Will crack off under pressure, prevents crush injuries

    Cons:

    Cannot be resized. Our jeweler has a lifetime guarantee that if he needs a new size, they will exchange it for free. It would be a different ring though.

    If it cracks, it will break. Cannot be put back together, must be replaced.

    Yes they look really nice and being inexpensive is definitely a plus! He got sized for a gold band so would that be the same size for the tungsten or do they run bigger or smaller since they can't be resized!?!

    I've picked 3 for his preference.. 2 different style/band width tungsten rings that are very good quality from Walmart ($10/each) and then a traditional 10k white gold band from sears (all satin finish).

    He really loves the tungsten style satin finish with high polished edges, but the same style in 10k white gold costs $600!

    No way we're spending more on his band than mine.. lol Smiley winking

    Exactly what MrsB said. FH really liked the look, so that's what he got.

    They're cheap, so replacing it if it needs to be replaced isn't a big deal except for sentimental reasons, and FH isn't overly sentimental

    FH picked one out and we actually like that it'll break rather than bend. If he gets it caught on something, there's less chance of it cutting off his finger (see Jimmy Fallon's accident).

    FH chose a Tungsten band. Second everything Mrs. B said. We didn't get the lifetime replacement, but we still thought it a good choice. Bottom line he liked it and he'll be wearing it so that's what we went with!

    Hubby got a tungsten band and he loves it. It was super cheap so if need be we can eventually replace it. With his line of work we didn't want something super expensive that would get dirty and scratched up.

    If you end up buying tungsten or any ring for your fh, check groupon first. We found the $300 ring we liked for a whole lot less. It came in and was the same thing.

    FH wants tungsten because of the fact that it won't crush into his hand if it ever gets smashed at work, it will break, possibly saving his finger. That was the only convincing I needed for him to get tungsten.
