Engagement rings, while historically a symbol of being ‘taken’ for women, are becoming increasingly common for men to wear as well. The trouble with finding an engagement ring for your special beau can be challenging. This is especially if they have a more manual profession. Here is some information about recent functional-yet-fashionable trends in men’s engagement rings!
Tungsten carbide Bands
Tungsten carbide bands provide durability and solidarity we all strive for in our relationships. Their durability is a characteristic derived from a union of elements, symbolising the bond between bride and groom. The rings themselves average ten times harder than mild steel, which is roughly equal to 18k gold. Not only is the unified aspect of tungsten carbide romantic, but it also ensures the band will last a lifetime.
Tungsten Carbide Grooved Rings
Grooved rings can be inlaid with various metals to present a very appealing visual factor, or left simply grooved, displaying depth within your interpersonal bond in matrimony. Some common inlays are 18k gold, rose gold, blue and red embellishment, and more.
Bevelled-edge Tungsten Carbide Bands
Bevelled rings have tapered outside edges, displaying qualities of compromise, a tapering slope representing a union between both sides of the ring. Bevelled edge rings can be adapted with beautiful geometric faces, appearing similar to stone settings.
Setting Stones In Tungsten Carbide Engagement Rings
Tungsten carbide rings are excellent candidates for setting stones. They are made of one of the hardest materials in existence. In addition to their durability, grooved tungsten carbide rings can hold multiple stones, depending on the band’s width. Stones can also be mounted into holes bored into tungsten carbide rings, much like silver and gold.
Tungsten carbide rings come in a variety of colours, varying between any of the inlay options mentioned above and more. Because tungsten carbide was developed for functional uses initially, these rings vary wildly in price, largely priced due to the jeweller who made the ring and how much customisation was required.
Any of these ring styles are likely to stay safe and out of his way while he is at work, but keep you close to mind and always in his heart. One of the best parts? These rings do not usually break the bank.
Stainless bands
Stainless bands are solid and durable, characteristics of a bond that cannot be tarnished by the test of time. Their durability comes from a union of elements, symbolising the bond between bride and groom.
