If you've been doing your research on tungsten rings for men, you may have only seen traditional tungsten carbide; a gunmetal gray industrial metal best known for its high density and durability. Many of the world's most prominent jewelry designers have released contemporary ring collections featuring natural tungsten and even black tungsten, but very few have experimented with white tungsten. Looking at this article; that trend could change very quickly. White tungsten rings for men are being billed as the "perfect metal for men's rings," and that's not an exaggerated claim.
As someone who currently owns a handful of tungsten rings and a tungsten watch, I can tell you from personal experience that this metal is practically indestructible. It is so dense that it actually has a weighty feel on the finger, and it is only because of recent breakthroughs in metal casting that it can be formed into a piece of jewelry. Today's tungsten rings are really an alloy of the raw element tungsten, which is ground into a metal powder and mixed with carbon before being heated to 2,400 degrees and compressed into a high pressure mold. After it cools down a bit, each ring is shaped by a skilled craftsman using diamond tools, resulting in a ring that is destined to last a lifetime.
Until this method was perfected, it would have been impossible to buy a ring this sturdy and scratch-resistant. Perhaps this is why so many ring buyers have chosen tungsten over white gold, platinum and silver, but men who prefer platinum have found natural tungsten to be too "gray" and black tungsten too edgy for their liking. That's what makes white tungsten rings for men such an exciting breakthrough in the jewelry industry. Even some current fans of the metal, like me, have admitted that they prefer white tungsten rings over gunmetal gray or black. With white tungsten, one can enjoy the brilliant "whiteness" of platinum without the expense, while enjoying the resilience and sturdiness of an industrial metal.
Whether you're looking for tungsten rings for men as a fashion statement, as a wedding band, or as a special Valentine's Day gift, the addition of white tungsten adds another "flavor" to the pot.
