Make sure it's tungsten carbide The first thing to note when choosing men’s tungsten wedding bands is that the metal should be tungsten carbide rather than just tungsten. The former metal is much harder than the latter. It is the addition of carbide to the manufacturing process that makes the difference in the quality of the finished wedding band. Another feature in the composition to be aware of is the presence of cobalt. Even trace amounts of cobalt can result in pits or imperfections on the surface of the ring that will mar the shining beauty of the high quality surface. These flaws cannot be polished out as you would with the softer metals of a gold wedding band. Decorations If you are viewing the best quality men’s tungsten wedding bands with the hardest metal you will not see decorations cut into the surface. Tungsten carbide is much to hard for such decorations to be possible. The typical tungsten ring will have a highly polished smooth surface with an almost mirror-like brightness to the finish. Because tungsten is so hard, cutting and polishing can only be done with diamond dust or a similar substance. What About Style? Men’s tungsten wedding bands are often sold in very plain and undecorated styles, relying upon the shape and smoothness of the ring to carry the style message. Sometimes a two tone ring is created by adding gold or silver to the surface of the ring in the form of braids or ropes. Ropes of gold encircling the band maintain the uncluttered look of the ring design while adding additional eye interest to the surface. The tungsten ring can be gold plated if the wearer prefers the color of gold rather than the silvery brilliance of unadorned tungsten carbide. Caring for Your Ring Because of the nature of the tungsten carbide used to form men’s tungsten wedding bands , only minimal effort is needed to maintain the beauty and grace of the rings for a half decade or more of marriage. The wearer doesn't need to be concerned about tarnish or pitting of the ring due to the environment in which it is worn. Perspiration won't eat away at the ring's surface. The metal is not likely to set up an allergic reaction on the skin of the wearer. Keeping the ring looking its best is just a matter of cleaning with a mild detergent and buffing dry with a soft cloth to absorb the moisture.
