Due to its firm, durable structure, Tungsten Carbide became a classic choice for those wishing for a wedding band to maintain its shape and shine for years to come. As science and jeweler expertise has advanced, the tungsten wedding ring size, style and color options have also substantially increased.

A few popular Tungsten wedding band options include:

Classic Tungsten styles
Polished bands
Brushed bands
Colored metal

Etched designs
