Alternative metals, such as meteorite, tungsten, and tantalum are becoming increasingly popular choices for men’s wedding bands. These materials offer a modern and elevated appearance and create a bold and unique look.
Meteorite is the term given to a piece of a comet, asteroid or meteoroid that survives the passage through the atmosphere and reaches the surface of a planet or moon. The striated design in meteorite is known as a Widmanstätten pattern, formed by bands of alloys called kamacite and taenite. No two meteorite rings will be the same, making this a distinctive choice for a wedding band.
Tungsten is a rare metal found naturally on Earth. It has the highest melting point of all metals, making it incredibly strong and durable. Tungsten is scratch-resistant and will not easily lose its luster. This metal is also hypoallergenic, making it a good option for those sensitive to other metals.
Tantalum is perhaps the most durable of all men’s wedding band materials. It will never tarnish or corrode, making it ideal for those that work with harsh chemicals. It is also highly resistant to surface scratching and shatterproof. Beyond its durability, tantalum is sought after for its unique blue-gray luster.
