The Exciting Marketplace of Tungsten Wedding Jewelry

By Adara Carrillo


The possibilities to customize stylish durable tungsten rings are a major part of what's made them such a craze as wedding jewelry and for everyday wear alike. Of many options for accenting and personalizing these tough and modern rings, a few styles stand out.

Tungsten Celtic wedding bands represent a rich history and tradition and are a unique way to celebrate the art and ingenuity of one's Celtic ancestors. The Celtic tungsten rings on this page include designs that capture religious Christian iconography; interlaced, decorative knot patterns representing never-ending love; and the storied Claddagh, a token of fidelity steeped in folklore and custom.

Other tungsten rings express indentifying information as well. Birthstone tungsten rings make use of the mythology surrounding particular precious and semi-precious gems and their effects on different kind of people and assigns them to particular months or astrological signs. Mother's tungsten rings are a more recent development in the vein of birthstone jewelry, as these tungsten rings are designed to hold birthstones representing each of a mother's children.

Faceted tungsten carbide wedding rings feature interesting angles and shapes to reflect light in different directions. The facets may be subtle, as is the case with a flat ring with thin facets all the way around the band, or bold and complex with large shapes that resemble a hammered look.

Wedding tungsten rings in particular have lasted and gained in popularity over time, evolving and diversifying to suit many cultures, eras, and available materials. These days, one might choose any tungsten ring from the most classic plain gold band to a modern, unique tungsten wedding band. There's even the option of combining the two in a tungsten carbide tungsten ring featuring a gold inlay center.The expansion of wedding bands as a general trend and the capability of creating distinctive tungsten rings out of stronger materials like platinum, tungsten and titanium have also ensured that the men's wedding band, first widely used in the 1940s, is here to stay.
