It's funny how men resist change. They can go for years, even decades, ignoring the fashion trends and wearing the "same old thing," and then one day they can change everything overnight. Such is the case with men's tungsten wedding rings. Up until less than a decade ago, men would have been hard-pressed to find a great selection of non-traditional wedding bands at a jeweler or online retailer. At that point, men were still trying to figure out what a non-traditional wedding ring was. But today, there are online jewelers who sell hundreds of styles in every imaginable metal. Some guys are even wearing black titanium and stainless steel rings.
But after returning from a jewelry show in Vegas earlier this year, it became clear to me that gold jewelry is receiving less shelf space. For wedding jewelry, I saw a lot of men's tungsten wedding rings and an assortment of titanium, cobalt and stainless steel rings too. But the metals weren't the only thing that have chan ged. Men are getting a lot more daring with their choices in wedding jewelry. Instead of wearing a plain polished wedding band with a domed profile, guys are choosing rings with carbon fiber or black cable insets. They like mesh styles and black titanium rings, two-tone rings and Celtic knot rings made of stainless steel.
As a part of this trend, men's tungsten wedding rings have made great strides in attracting new buyers. They've become so popular that there are entire sites devoted to tungsten jewelry for men. When guys try on men's tungsten wedding bands, they are usually surprised at the weight and density of these rings. However, some guys really like the weightiness of tungsten and feel it lends a certain amount of "gravitas" to their marriage. In addition to its natural strength and density, tungsten is also extremely scratch resistant and maintenance free. It retains its beauty and shine without the need for a professional re-polishing.

If you want the best selection of rings at the lowest prices, check out the discount online jewelers who specialize in men's wedding jewelry. JustMensRings.com is a perfect example of this.
Most of the men's tungsten rings I've seen are made with a comfort-fit interior, an important feature for men who are unaccustomed to wearing rings. The selection of designs in men's tungsten is more impressive than ever, and allows men to make a bolder statement than your typical gold ring. When compared to gold, tungsten is a bit heavier on the hand, but it is much lighter on the wallet.
