Tungsten is the most durable and hard material available for jewelry.

The finish and polish of a tungsten ring can last 50 years plus. It is the choice for active men and people who work with their hands. Tungsten wedding bands come in beautiful designs – classic, contemporary, trendy, and unique designs.
Tungsten men bands come in a variety of widths – from thin 4mm bands to thick 10mm bands. The finish will range from a satin finish to a polished, shiny, brushed, or combination of finishes. The designs will stretch as far as the imagination of many designers can go. Some popular designs are tungsten rings with inlays of yellow, white, or rose gold, sterling silver, carbon fiber, black seranite, black ceramic, Mokume Gane, or black enamel. Other popular styles feature men wedding bands with diamonds or other stones. Styles of men wedding bands can include carvings, beveled edges, gold braiding, grooves, squares, facets, step edges, and much more. Tungsten men wedding bands are becoming a favorite with grooms.
Another hot material available in men bands is Palladium. Palladium is a pure white metal, like platinum, but at an affordable price compared more to white gold. This metal is hypoallergenic and it offers the sophistication and luster of platinum, but at a much lower cost. Palladium will keep its luster and it is a metal that also offers durability and strength. Palladium does not contain other metals, it is a pure white metal, and rarer than gold. This metal is becoming a popular choice with men too. Mostly because it will stay white and because it will not tarnish or spot like gold. Durability and the fact that this metal can be crafted in many more designs than gold is another great characteristic.
Palladium bands will come in many styles, finishes, widths and intricate designs. They also come in classic and simple designs for the more traditional groom. Palladium also supports more carved designs and woven intricate inlays. This rare metal is expected to become pricier as demand continues to grow.
