WHAT IS TUNGSTEN?

However, tungsten men's wedding bands’ journey to becoming a classic begins where all popular men’s wedding band metals do: inside the earth.

Discovered in 1783,1 Tungsten became a tangible good when scientists found they could isolate the metal oxide from wolframite by heating it with carbon.2 Even with its high melting point, Tungsten veered from mechanical usage (such as sharpening blades or forming drill bits) into the elite world of jewelry.

Due to its firm, durable structure, Tungsten Carbide became a classic choice for those wishing for a wedding band to maintain its shape and shine for years to come. As science and jeweler expertise has advanced, the tungsten wedding ring size, style and color options have also substantially increased.

A few popular Tungsten wedding band options include:

  • Classic Tungsten styles
  • Polished bands
  • Brushed bands
  • Colored metal
  • Stylish inlays
  • Etched designs

Wondering which Tungsten wedding band suits your style? We’ve included a list of our select favorite tungsten wedding rings at the moment that can bring some subtle sophistication to any ensemble.
