To a woman, her wedding is the most important day of her life. It’s an event that most women have played in her heads since they were little girls. Some of them have it planned down to the last detail, while others just have a simple image about it. Most of them have something, an object, a person, or a place, that is indispensable and plan it to have it at their real wedding at all costs. Maybe it’s a special hotel, a type of dress, the approval of her father or that beautiful pair of shoes she fell in love with when she was in high school.
However, a wedding is also a very important day for the groom. Although usually forgotten, it’s an important day for him as well. It’s a day where he commits the rest of his life with the woman of his dreams, and swears to uphold values such as fidelity, support and family. And to remember this promise, the groom (and the bride) wear wedding bands for the rest of their life (or marriage).
Now, wedding bands used to be almost similar for the bride and the groom, with the groom’s one being slightly bigger or wider than the bride’s. Nevertheless, times have changed and jewelers have developed new materials for wedding bands, which are more appropriate to modern day needs.
Some of the new options that are available to grooms are tungsten wedding bands. Tungsten wedding bands are a very different option from the traditional gold wedding bands that men have usually worn. First of all, they look very different. Tungsten wedding bands are gray and steely, which makes them look much manlier than more traditional wedding bands made with more conventional materials.
Also, tungsten wedding bands are much more resistant to everyday wear and tear, and won’t scratch as easily as other soft metals, like gold or silver. This will make them last a lifetime. Or even more than one lifetime, if you ever decide to hand your wedding band to your children as a heirloom.
Nevertheless, despite their resistance, all emergency rooms have equipment that can cut off tungsten wedding bands in case of an emergency. This is very important for men who work as firemen or factory workers, where heat or machinery can cause an accident with rings.
Another advantage of tungsten wedding bands is that they’re hypoallergenic. That means that tungsten wedding bands will not cause rashes or change of skin color, like some other materials do.
Finally, one last advantage of tungsten wedding bands is that they’re cheaper than their gold counterparts. This comes in handy at a time when you have a budget for your wedding. And as you know, weddings aren’t cheap at all.
