Tungestn is also known as wolfram and is one of the hardest metals on earth. Known for its superior scratch resistance and heavy weight, tungsten is becoming one of the most popular wedding band choices. Nickel is used in combination with tungsten carbide and sintered to create a beautiful and durable wedding band. Samples:
White Tungsten
White Tungsten is the preferred metal of choice for those that seek a truly similar color to platinum or white gold, but still want the durability of tungsten. A unique bonding process is used to bond a platinum group metal called rhodium to tungsten, giving it a brilliant whiter appearance. Samples:
Ceramic
Ceramic is a nonmetallic material that creates durable non-conduction wedding bands. Ceramic rings are much lighter in weight than tungsten rings and have very similar scratch resistance. Ceramic rings are rated a 8/10 on the Mohs scale of harness. Samples:
Black Tungsten
Black Tungsten combines the strength and weight of tungsten carbide rings with a beautiful deep black color, like that of onyx. The color of black tungsten is obtained by coating normal tungsten carbide with a black titanium alloy.
