Tungsten Wedding Bands Pros and Cons
One of the reasons that tungsten wedding bands are so popular is that they don’t bend, making them one of the best rings that hold up over time. Unfortunately, the fact that they don’t bend easily is a downside to the metal. You cannot resize them. So, if you lose a lot of weight and the ring becomes loose, re-sizing your tungsten wedding band is not as easy as a quick bend by the jeweler.

You need to purchase your tungsten wedding bands from a reputable fine jeweler. Of course, you should do your homework and shop only at a reputable jeweler no matter what you’re buying. You will save money in the long run and purchasing tungsten is no different. Some tungsten is made with cobalt which will corrode over time leaving brown marks on your finger. Make sure you purchase a quality tungsten that is made with a nickel alloy and manufactured by a well-known brand.
The rumor circulating that a tungsten wedding band cannot be removed in case of an emergency is just a myth. Emergency personnel have ring cutters that will shatter the ring to free the finger.

One of the biggest complaints about gold wedding bands is that they get so scratched up with a man’s active life. The ring is quickly all dented up and scratched. This is not the case with a tungsten wedding band. You can be as hard on it or as careless at you like and that ring will still look beautifully polished.
