You go to department store and there is a section of clothes, jewelry, shoes and even some electronics geared and marketed towards men or women. It is without any surprise that a vast majority of people, when searching for the perfect tungsten wedding bands to accentuate their wedding day. would believe there are specific wedding bands for men and specific bands for women. It is important to know the differences, as you do not want to be stuck with a women's ring!
Do not fret, however, as the simple truth is that wedding bands, much like sunglasses, are unisex, meaning that they are technically appropriate for either gender. However, much like sunglasses, certain types and styles are more preferred by a specific gender, and admittedly, look better on certain genders. When choosing a wedding band, it is really more dependent on what you like! Keep in mind; it is good to have the opinion of your future spouse on the decision as well. But, shop freely, as there is no right or wrong style for you. As long as you like the style and the fit, it will be the right ring for you.
However, traditionally men and women tend to gravitate to certain styles, certain widths, certain finishes and certain stone settings. For width, men tend to prefer about 6 mm, which is about 0.24 inches; a more common width for a woman is 4 mm, which is about 0.16 inches. If you find that "common" width too big or too small for your liking, do not be concerned. Any deviation from the "common" does not mean that your ring is automatically a ring for the other gender. Like we said earlier, it is a matter of preference.
For men, those who tend to be a little flashier and enjoy wearing jewelry tend to go for wider ring, whereas those who do not seem to revel in the spotlight and do not enjoy wearing jewelry tend to opt for a thinner ring. You will usually see rings for men ranging from 4 mm to 12 mm in thickness.
For women, the range of thickness tends to be between 2 mm and 8 mm. Again, this is all based on what you like and what you think looks good on you. If you are buying a wedding band made of the more precious metal variety, such as gold or platinum, it is important to keep in mind that the thicker the ring, the larger the price tag. This is one of the many reasons that couples who like thicker rings opt for alternative metals, such as tungsten carbide. You can achieve your desired look without having the added cost.

Why 3 C’s Are significant To Check While Buying Tungsten Rings?

The 3 C's of tungsten carbide rings are comfort, content and craftsmanship- when you buy a tungsten ring, you have to watch for these qualities.
We will first talk about the comfort of the ring- comfort comes from many factors, and the most important one is its thickness. Other than that, there are some ‘comfort fit' rings which are also available in the market, which are not too thick. But you must watch out for some tungsten wedding bands and rings that can hurt your fingers because they are sharp around the edges. Make sure of getting rings having round edges because they do not hurt fingers. If you are getting a ring of size 12, then a thickness of 2.3mm is enough, but for a ring of size 6, a thickness of 1.8mm would be appropriate.
Next feature that I am going to explain is the content of tungsten rings, and it represents the amount of other metals which are present in the ring. High quality tungsten rings have a hint of nickel in them, while low quality rings have cobalt. You will be surprised to see that various ring retailers do not even know much about the composition of the ring. In a tungsten carbide ring, the correct purity of tungsten is about 85%, and the rest is the combination of various other metals. If you are not sure about your ring, it is best that you research a bit about it before buying.
Last feature that I am exploring here is the craftsmanship of tungsten rings- though you may feel that these rings are crafted in the same way, but in actual they are crafted differently. Even if it is a simple wedding band, it may vary in its thickness, size, and symmetry etc. Similarly, some rings have a classic tungsten finish and some rings come in darker shades, therefore we can conclude that rings vary in terms of finishing as well.

Halogen, HIDs and LEDs

To start, know that lights fall into three basic categories: halogen, high-intensity discharge (HID), and light-emitting diodes (LED).
Halogen is the most common and least expensive option, using a traditional bulb that has a tungsten filament within halogen gas. The filament heats up and creates light. You can pick up a pair of quality halogen lights for under $100 at nearly any town in America.
HID lights use a reflector similar to halogen lights but take a lot of voltage (on the order of tens of thousands of volts) to arc across the electrodes. HIDs send an arc across a pair of tungsten electrodes to create light. This design is far more efficient than halogen lights and draws less amperage, producing approximately four times as many lumens per watt as traditional lights and lasting five times as many hours. If there is a downside to HIDs it is the expense and size.
LED lights draw even less amperage than HIDs, using a semiconductor diode that emits light when voltage is applied. LEDs also resist vibration and impact, since their construction uses no glass or filament. The biggest downside to LEDs is that they are expensive. The light is also hard to direct and focus, and the market is becoming flooded with overseas LED light bars of questionable quality.
Once you have decided on a type of light, what else should you look for? When choosing beam pattern, consider the speeds that your vehicle travels off-road. Faster speeds require long-distance lights with a spot pattern, while slower wheelers and crawlers can appreciate the wide beam of light from flood- and foglights.
Size and fitment are critical, as all HID lights used to use external ballasts, but as technology has advanced these ballasts have gotten much smaller and are now often integrated into the housing. This makes for a cleaner, more compact installation. The same concerns hold with LEDs, which can be had in various shapes and sizes. Also check to see whether the lights come with all the necessary wiring, switches, and relays or you must purchase them separately.
