Tungsten Wedding Bands

Planning a wedding in harsh economic times can be tough, but there are lots of ways to stretch your dollar a bit further. Here are the top 5 ways to have your wedding look like a million bucks without breaking the bank:

5. Plan Your Wedding “Off-Season”:

June through August is the wedding season’s typically busiest months, and vendors use this to raise prices. But you can beat the mark-ups by scheduling “off-season.” Booking your wedding October through March will save you loads on the venue, flowers, etc. as vendors will be willing to make deals during their slowest months. Take advantage of fall’s beautiful and natural color scheme, and you’ll find yourself saving huge.

4. Alternative Metal Wedding Bands:

The price of gold just keeps skyrocketing with no end in sight. Alternative metals like tungsten wedding bands offer many of the same great wedding ring styles with the added benefit of being highly scratch-resistant and bargain priced in comparison to 18k gold rings. And if you just can’t let go of having a traditional metal for your wedding band, tungsten wedding bands also come with inlays of 18k gold, platinum and silver as well. Have the best of both worlds at a fraction of the cost.

3. Nix the DJ:

Let’s be honest. The wedding DJ is really just a glorified iPod isn’t he? So, why spend so much on him? Sit down with your fiancé and program a playlist you and your guests will enjoy. Most wedding venues will already have some form of speaker system capable of being hooked up to a computer or iPod allowing you to be your own DJ. It’s almost effortless and will save you loads.

Just hit “play” and enjoy!

2. Scour the Web:

The Internet is overflowing with wedding deals. You name it, they got it. From flowers, to party favors and bridesmaids gifts…. there are deals, promotions and coupon codes everywhere. So don’t be afraid to look around discount and retail sites for the best bargains.

1. “Knock-Offs” can be a Girl’s Best Friend:

What’s in a name anyways? Designer dresses are beautiful but are you paying for the name or the dress? There are lots of discount retailers selling almost identical “knock-offs” of the popular designer dresses, and in some cases they look even better! Don’t let the name on the tag sway you. You’ll still look like a million bucks in these discount designs.

We won’t tell anyone it’s a “knock-off,” if you won’t.

Mens Weddings Rings available in Tungsten Carbide

The burgeoning interest in tungsten carbide alloy as an alternative to precious metals for weddings rings and other types of jewelry is because of its strength density and durability. Tungsten carbide alloy is useful in products that are exposed to a lot of heat such as light bulbs, cooking elements, bullets and eve x-ray tubes because of its high melting temperature and now, an ideal choice for wedding rings.

Tungsten mens wedding rings have shown themselves to be practically invulnerable. They are highly scratch-resistant, require no polish and don’t bend, even with beyond-normal wear. Many people consider titanium rings after their initial white gold or gold wedding rings have worn out due to regular household chores but titanium is a metal, though strong, scratches easily and doesn’t hold the weight that you would expect in a wedding ring or precious metal.

With tungsten, you can expect strength, durability and you can even design the ring a specific way or inlay it with a precious metal to help accent the formidable ring and make it your own and it will still look freshly polished and brand new.

Represent Your Love Well with Tungsten Carbide Rings

If you’re like me, you wouldn’t expect your marriage to fail. A wedding is the ultimate symbol of faithfulness and dedication. Play as much as you’d like as a single person but when you’re married, you’re essentially growing up and committing yourself romantically to one person in a ceremony associated with permanence. And in that spirit of dedication, why not consider a ring made to last and retain its brilliance over any other ring available on the market?

Tungsten is the 74th element on the Periodic Table of elements. One of the interesting qualities of tungsten is that in order to bring the element to a boil, you would need to be on the surface of the sun. Tungsten is naturally dense and when paired with a variety of allows, like steel and carbon, is one of the most durable elements around. Once alloyed, tungsten carbide can be formed to make the most impressive tungsten carbide rings, bracelets and watches. They can be polished carefully to a brilliant sheen that can be maintained through the grittiness and abuse of daily wear.

The hardness of tungsten carbide (7.5 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness) creates a scratch-proof surface that will protect your investment from dulling. Every other precious material will show visible signs of wear even hours after first putting it on, but tungsten carbide will hold up to daily wear flawlessly. So if you’re getting married, let the physical symbol of your love be as enduring and shine as brilliantly as you want your marriage to be.

Tungsten jewelry has seen a rise in demand as of late. Tungsten, a material that would make ex-heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson seem as soft as aluminum, has hooked on to an expanding niche in the jewelry industry, especially for men. Men choosing to forgo the traditional route of a precious metal band that is soft, expensive and easily misplaced have latched onto the idea of a tough-as-nails tungsten ring that won’t break the bank and continues to look great even years later!

With the expanding industry, retailers have sought to meet the demand by expanding their product lines. Tungsten has suddenly become a very versatile compound that can be inlaid with platinum, gold, silver and set with diamonds for your own unique look. For a more intense style, tungsten carbide and black ceramic help round out the assortment of tungsten rings that are steadily gaining momentum. The superior workmanship, perfect curve and balanced weight of the tungsten rings makes them hard to pass up once you’ve seen them in person. The no-risk perfect-fit policy coupled with the lifetime guarantee makes purchasing a tungsten ring a no-brainer. By upping the variety and availability, the tungsten industry is moving away from being just a niche market and becoming a viable jewelry choice for men and women alike!
