Our wedding rings

[Chewbecca]

They're made out of tungsten carbide which is an EXTREMELY strong, tough metal. Only themselves (or other tungsten carbide items) and diamonds can scratch it.
I'm not usually one for celtic knotting, but I just found these to be so unique.

I took these pics as soon as they arrived at our house yesterday.

Ben is a chemist and works with harsh chemicals daily and runs a metal testing machine. He wanted something that would not get ruined while he's at work.

Now, these are extreme close-ups I took of the rings, so the celtic knotting is not THAT huge and noticeable.

They are very lovely

Wow, they are beautiful and different.

nice model.. but why tungsten? it looks like silver and it's true that it's more strong... but gold remains gold

Because gold is a soft metal that bend and scrapes up easily and we don't care about what's traditional and wanted to go a different route.

 

[Buddy'sParents]

Those are beautiful.

I'm all for what is not traditional.. hubby and I have titanium rings.

Ooo I like those a lot!!! Hmmm I will have to keep that metal in mind, I too am very rough (outdoors a lot working with my hands) and tend to scratch/dent a lot of my rings. Same with my current BF. But that type of metal might just hold up against our bashings LOL

beautiful...

and some people are allergic to gold, and silver, even high karat gold has some trace amounts of nickle...i can only wear platinum, titanium ect, no nickle content.

Very nice ! Great close ups !

 

[Melissa_W]

Very cool!

 

[RedHotDobe]

I like them! I was just looking at tungsten yesterday. It's very unique. I'm not much for gold jewelry.

 

[Dizzy]

I love those! I hate gold jewellry personally. Think it looks tacky. But that's just me

 

[Saintgirl]

Gorgeous rings! I'm not a big gold fan either, but my rings are gold because my husband wanted gold, so we compromised and got white gold.

 

[sparks19]

wow those are beautiful.

 

[yoko]

they're soo pretty i'll have to remember that i don't like gold... and most stuff i wear gets gross pretty fast because it always gets weird scratches and stuff on it

 

[Kase]

Oh wow they are BEAUTFIUL!!! I'm not one for gold either, if I ever get married I want a ring like yours .

 

[Samantha's pet]

OH I LOVE them. Do you mind telling me where you got them? Danny and I are getting married next month and although I went with a more traditional white gold band w/ a solitaire diamond he doesnt want gold b/c of dints and scratches etc. I imagine plain bands can get pretty beat up. I have been looking at tungsten and titanium but he doesnt want any sort of decorative grooves or engraving. Just a plain band but I am actually having trouble finding one. Sounds like you ordered yours, correct? From a website? I'd love to see what else they have alailable.

BEAUTIFUL rings.... great pictures. They look so cool! And congratulations on getting married, Becca... I had no idea.

As for gold rings, my opinion is why get a ring that you intend to wear forever in such a soft metal? A teacher of mine showed us her ten year old wedding ring that was already misshapen and had dents and scratches, and she didn't wear it every day.

 

[gradyupmybutt]

Becca, those are way cool! I am more interested in uniqueness over any particular metal. Your bands are unique.

I love those! The detail in them is beautiful
