Tungsten Carbide
Almost a quarter of today's grooms choose Tungsten Carbide, according to Modern Bride Magazine. Maybe it's because of its heavy-weight, scratch-resistant, forever-polished qualities. Or maybe it's because it is pretty affordable. Either way, tungsten carbide is becoming the norm for men's bands. However, be aware of the imposters. Every true tungsten has "TC.850" marked on it to assure it's legit.
Disadvantages: Although Tungsten is scratch-resistant, it isn't shatter-resistant. When this metal is extremely cold and under pressure, it is known to crack or shatter.
Black Titanium
This "new black" metal continues to win fashion points for its dark good looks and innovative styling. its lightweight yet sturdy, and always tarnish free. It also pairs well with other metals, which can create a great contrast in designs.
Disadvantages: Unlike Tungsten, titanium is almost impossible to break. This means that if there is an accident made to your hand, your finger will probably coming off before your ring will.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is also remarkably versatile, especially if you want to introduce a bit of color. it's a great frame for wood, rubber, or ceramic.
