The reason I Decided upon a men’s tungsten ring style for my wedding ring


April 29, 2010

So, why did we pick out men’s tungsten ring types for my wedding band? Well, it really is rather a cute narrative that led us to wondering about mens tungsten rings from the get go.

It is necessary to try to remember during this story that the Celtic tungsten ring is known for, among other things, being extremely strong & economical.

One night almost one month ago my wife Judy and I were in the kitchen talking when we got a call from a neighbor two doors to the east & he wished to know if my wife and i had access to a metal detector. Apparently , our neighbor had just washed his hands and went outside to throw a ball with their dog. On the first throw his Tungsten Wedding Ring went flying from his finger & into the backyard (or maybe over the_ fence).

Our son & little girl were off playing with the neighbor children when all of this occurred. Our daughter mentioned to the_ neighbor that grandma & grandpa got a metal detector. Lighthearted thing is it was true. My father and mother still had the old Radio Shack metal detector that my brother had when we were little. I told the_ neighbor what it was and that is was so old it almost certainly didn’t work. Nope! Our little princess was quick to correct us . Apparently, she and her brother had just been playing with it with grandpa the_ week before.

Fast forward a couple of days. I had the metal detector from my folks and let the_ neighbor go to town looking for it. He spent three hours in the heat and humidity of a hot August day in Missouri. Unfortunately, no such luck. I’m not sure he found anything metal in that backyard.

That prompted my wife and I to try & find out if Tungsten Bands would actually be detectable by a metal detector from the beginning. After searching and searching my wife and i never really found a solid answer to our question. (Please leave a comment to this article if you know the_ answer).

However, during our search we started looking at these cool looking Tungsten Rings. The more i looked for information on the metal detector question the more i started thinking what great looking rings they were. L just so happened that we had previously been discussing replacing our own gold wedding rings due to how poorly they had held up over the years.

We’ve learned a ton of info somewhere around Tungsten Wedding Rings. Did you find out that the_ optimal ones aren’t just made of Tungsten? For the most sturdy Tungsten ring you really need to make sure it is made of Tungsten Carbide. This alloy ensures extreme hardness – 8.5 -9 on the Mohs hardness scale (Diamonds are a 10). It also makes these rings exceptionally resistant to scratching.

This incredible durability makes Tungsten rings especially suited for every day wear & tear. Whether you working in the office or out in the garage rebuilding an engine you’d be hard pressed to mess these rings up. They’ll hold their shine and luster for nearly forever.

One of the_ questions that kept coming up as my wife and i did research was related to the potential for these rings to be cut off in an emergency. It turns out that all hospitals & emergency crews have the_ tools necessary to cut or even break off a Tungsten ring. Sure, they are exceptionally hard but these professionals have the ask how. One site even gave pretty detailed instructions on how you could use an everyday pair of vice-grip pliers to actually break off the_ ring yourself at home. It sounded plausible. However, I’d like to see it done in real life.

All in all it seems like Tungsten Bands fit the bill for tough, masculine, highly polished replacement for our old bands. They would also make a great choice for someone getting their first wedding bands. They definitely sound like they would last a lifetime.

Oh, you’re probably still wondering what happened to the_ neighbor’s Tungsten Ring, right? Well, unfortunately L have mixed news. The bad news is he hasn’t found it yet. The good news is he had a guarantee on the ring that was like car insurance; it provided a replacement for a smal deductible which is a much better deal than buying a new ring.

I told him “you know, the perfect way to find the_ ring you lost is to go ahead and spend the_ $ to get a new one.” Wouldn’t it be amusing if the lost ring showed up in the yard the_ next day.
