Men's Tungsten Wedding Bands: plain, plated or inlaid?

Tungsten carbide is one of the hardest materials used in jewelry and nearly twice as heavy as steel, so you feel it as soon as you put it on. Two limits matter before you order. It cannot be resized, so confirm the size first. And it can chip under a sharp impact, for example if it falls on tile or stone.

Flat tungsten wedding bands for men

A flat band shows more of its face and has a squarer line than a domed one. The 8mm Matte Tungsten sits flat, with a brushed center to cut reflections and a polished bevel on each side. It has no stones and no logo outside, and TUNGSTEN CARBIDE is engraved inside. The Antler Inlay Ring is also flat, with clean beveled edges. If you would rather have a curve, the Brushed Black Tungsten is domed, so its edges fall away from the skin.

Black tungsten men's wedding bands

On the three bands below, the black is a plated finish on a very hard base. Choose the Black Groove Band if width is the question, since the 6mm and 8mm share the same brushed center, groove and polished bevels. The 6mm sits more discreetly and the 8mm suits a bigger hand. The Black Dual Groove keeps to one tone, with brushed surfaces beside polished grooves. The Brushed Black Tungsten is the quietest, with no grooves at all. Keep harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners away from any of them.

Gold tungsten wedding bands, yellow and rose

On these bands, gold-tone and rose gold-tone are plated colors on the tungsten carbide, and none is made of gold. The Gold-Tone Flake Tungsten is warm all over, with crushed flakes down the center and sandblasted bands on either side, and it goes up to US 17. The Rose Gold-Tone Groove covers the outside and the interior in color, in every half size from US 6 to 14. For gold as a single line, the Black and Gold-Tone Inlay Ring has a brushed silver-tone face, polished black stepped edges and one narrow gold-tone channel.

Unique tungsten wedding bands, including meteorite looks

Neither meteorite-style ring here contains meteorite. The Wood and Meteorite-Look pairs dark wood with a crackled silver-tone inlay made to look like it. The Antler Inlay Ring sets natural antler beside a dark stripe with a crosshatched meteorite pattern. Natural materials need more care than the metal. The Wood and Meteorite-Look comes off before swimming, the Antler Inlay Ring comes off before the shower, and the Oak Wood Tungsten stays dry, since its sleeve rests against the skin. The Crushed Opal Tungsten is sealed under a clear layer and handles everyday water. For a pattern instead, the Black Tungsten Dragon Knotwork Ring has a blue dragon inlay and flashes bright blue inside.

Good questions

Before you choose

Can a tungsten wedding band be resized?

No. Tungsten carbide cannot be resized, so measure a ring that fits the same finger, late in the day. On a wide band, take the larger size if you are between two.

Will a tungsten wedding ring scratch?

It resists scratches very well, since it is far harder than steel or titanium, so keys and desks leave little mark. It is not completely scratch-proof: harder materials, such as some stones and ceramics, can still scratch it.

Can tungsten carbide bend or chip?

It does not bend. Under a sharp impact, such as a fall on tile or stone, it can chip or crack.

Can I wear a tungsten band in the shower and at the gym?

Plain tungsten carbide does not rust, so the 8mm Matte Tungsten Carbide Band and the Brushed Black Tungsten Carbide Ring are fine. Take the Black Faceted Gold Flake Ring and the Dragon Knotwork Ring off for heavy barbell work. The Antler Inlay Ring and the Oak Wood Tungsten Ring should come off before the shower.

Does tungsten turn your finger green?

The Black Tungsten Carbide Groove Band is listed as leaving no green marks, and the Black Faceted Gold Flake Ring as not turning skin green. Plated colors are still a surface layer, so keep harsh chemicals off them.

Are gold tungsten wedding bands made of gold?

No. Gold-tone and rose gold-tone are plated finishes on tungsten carbide. The Gold-Tone Tungsten Carbide Ring also has an inlay of crushed gold-tone flakes.

Is the meteorite tungsten wedding band real meteorite?

No. The Wood and Meteorite-Look Ring has a crackled silver-tone inlay in that style, and the Antler Inlay Ring has a dark stripe with a meteorite pattern.

Which tungsten wedding rings come in large sizes?

For example, the Gold-Tone Tungsten Carbide Ring and the Black Crushed Opal Tungsten Ring go to US 17. The Black Tungsten Carbide Groove Band in 8mm goes to US 15.

Which male tungsten wedding rings come in half sizes?

Several do, for example the Black Tungsten Carbide Groove Band, from US 6 to 15, and the Rose Gold Tungsten Ring, Brushed Groove, from US 6 to 14.
