Do you love the look of precious metal rings such as gold, silver, and platinum but dread having to replace your wedding band every few years to due to the damage sustained from everyday wear and tear? What if there was a way to have the precious metal accents in a more durable ring. Well inlay tungsten rings provide just that. By combining the reliability of a tungsten carbide band with your desired precious metal one can truly have the best of both worlds.

Now comes the tough part. What kind of inlay would you like and how would you like it to be fashioned. If you prefer more of a classic style to your wedding ring perhaps you may choose to go with a basic pipe cut band with a single gold or silver inlay. To spice it up a bit you may go with dual inlays or a wider single inlay paired with a step or beveled edged tungsten band. If you are really into style then perhaps a band with a gold or platinum mokume gane designed inlay would be a style to look into. The most intriguing part of a mokume gane design is no two designs are alike.

While silver, gold, and platinum inlays gives tungsten wedding bands that luxurious look there are other inlays which should not be overlooked.

Tungsten carbide rings with carbon fiber inlay combine futuristic materials to create a splendid design. Resin inlays are commonly found in black and white and are highly scratch resistant much like tungsten. Tungsten wedding bands with resin inlays are a great way break up a plain band for a bit more style.

The contrast between the tungsten and the inlay metal draws attention to the ring with its added allure. While tungsten carbide is very strong you still need to be careful with soft metal inlays as they will scratch and nick, however with proper care there is no reason a tungsten ring with a precious metal inlay will not last a lifetime. As with any piece of jewelry regular cleaning care and maintenance will ensure that the inlay stays as shiny as the tungsten.
