Scratch Resistant Wedding Rings: Is This Possible? by Shelton Crew
There is no better to mar the beauty of a wedding band than scratches. Yes, scratching your wedding ring is inevitable because you wear it every day. Obviously, you cannot monitor everything that you do in the hopes of saving your wedding band from the agony of being scratched by various surfaces. It is a fact that wedding bands look great especially when they are scratch free as the first time you wore it on your ring finger. However, because you use your hands to do everything your wedding ring is subjected to alot of stress, which makes it prone to scratches. However, the question lies, is there a precious metal that is capable of resisting scratches?
The answer to this question is a resounding yes. Popular metals like gold, silver, and platinum when used for a wedding can surely turn heads. Their blinding sparkle never fails to enhance the beauty of a diamond especially when you choose to have a diamond wedding band. However, multiple scratches on the surface can mar its beauty. If you are after durability, then you might want to consider these two metals known for its capacity to resist scratches.
The first metal that is known for its ability to resist scratches is tungsten. In comparison to gold, tungsten is not that popular especially among older couples. However, this kind of metal is slowly earning the hearts of younger couple who are not just after beauty but also quality and durability. Unlike gold or platinum, tungsten have the ability to remain its shine and polish and does not bend when exposed to impact-related damages. To ensure that your tungsten ring is strong always settle for a tungsten carbide and nickel alloy rather than a tungsten carbide and cobalt alloy, which is the weaker type. Nevertheless, there is a catch though. Even if tungsten is capable of resisting scratches and dents, it can easily break whenever you drop it.
Titanium is another metal that is believed to be scratch resistant. Like tungsten, this type of metal is not popular amongst older couples but is fast becoming the metal of choice for younger couples especially those who are required to stick to a particular budget. Titanium is first used for men's ring, particular working men most likely because it is durable and scratch resistant. These unique properties of titanium caught the eye of jewellers who went out of their way and refined their techniques to be able to create beautiful jewellery like wedding rings using titanium. For full scale durability you may want to settle with light gray or black titanium instead of oxidized titanium which is a bit weaker.
