http://UniqueTungstenRings.com Tungsten carbide is a metal compound which involves equal parts of tungsten and carbon being compounded together. It appears a shiny, dark grey, silver colored metal. It's also extremely strong and resilient to many different types of external forces which may cause other metals to scratch. The main pro of a tungsten carbide ring is that it's durable and very strong. Many different metals, especially that of the ubiquitous gold wedding bang, often show signs of strong wear after a couple of years. Gold easily scratches from daily use, and many customers are often obligated to send their rings in for maintenance every few years -- which can cost a lot of money. This, is rarely the case with tungsten carbide as it's an extremely strong metal which hardly shows any wear even after years. Another very important benefit about the tungsten carbide ring is that it's very affordable. Gold, platinum wedding bands may cost even up to the thousands for the bride and groom, however tungsten carbide rings only cost a fraction of that. A good quality tungsten carbide ring will set someone back around two hundred dollars. Leading to massive savings, even in the long term -- as mentioned above, there is usually no need for a tungsten carbide ring to be maintained every few years. Tungsten rings cannot be re-sized as in the case of rings made of other metals. So, if you put on weight or may be lose some, you cannot get your ring size adjusted. However, there are many jewelers who give a lifetime guarantee when they sell tungsten rings. Due to this guarantee, you can get your ring replaced due to the problem of size, for free. Hence, while making your purchase, ask questions regarding this to your jeweler.
