Tungsten is said to be the hardest of all the metals. Triton tungsten rings are alleged to be unbreakable and impossible to damage. For this reason, men's tungsten wedding bands have been escalating in popularity. And yet, these rings can break and can even be dangerous. The truth about these rings is that they are falsely advertised.

The extreme hardness of tungsten makes it difficult to bend and impossible to engrave. Triton tungsten rings cannot be personalized to etch words into your band. Besides these downfalls, men's tungsten wedding bands can shatter to pieces. The hardness makes tungsten brittle and easy to crack when dropped.

Tungsten has been said to be hypoallergenic. However, if a tungsten ring is alloyed with cobalt, as it often is, the cobalt can lead to allergies in the skin. The cobalt also reacts with the oils in your skin and tarnishes the ring over time. Also, the hardness of the ring makes it impossible to be cut off. Should it be that this ring is stuck on your finger, the hospital will amputate your finger before they are able to take the ring off. The issues with these bands are apparent.

Since tungsten cannot be bent, you will not be able to get your ring resized. In the event that your finger changes size, as many do, your Triton tungsten ring will need to be replaced. Although tungsten is often cheaper than rings of gold or silver, these bands will cost you more money in the long run because you will need to buy another ring. You should read more about how men's tungsten wedding bands may not be the best option when selecting your wedding ring.

Tungsten rings are unsafe and falsely advertised. What is expected to be unbreakable like the vows of marriage is actually capable of chipping and shattering when dropped. Would you want this ring to signify your supposed everlasting marriage?
