Ceramic or tungsten jewelry like black tungsten rings is becoming a fashion trend among men and women that desire a stylish ring that is both lightweight and durable.
Black tungsten carbide rings are designed from a combination of tungsten and carbon powders and coated with a black outer layer of a metal like zirconium, also used in ceramic pieces like black ceramic wedding rings.
In fact, it is the virtual indestructibility of ceramic wedding rings that is making them so popular. Is it for you? Read on.
What are ceramic wedding rings? They are made from a combination of powdered pure ceramic materials and zirconium, which is then heated to more than 6000 degrees, resulting in a molten liquid. The liquid is shaped, cut, cooled, & then polished into a ring. The hardness of ceramic rings is similar to the hardness of tungsten carbide rings, however much lighter in weight.
In the past ceramic jewelry was used just for fashion. Ceramic is most commonly found to be black however in recent years white and pink have become popular.
Ceramic jewelry is not exclusive to these three colors however these colors are the only ones that will not fade over time. Ceramic and tungsten are also scratch resistant which makes them popular for those that work with their hands.
Many companies now feature ceramic rings for wedding jewelry. The color of ceramic is solid & contained the whole way through the ring. The amazingly lightweight trait makes the wear ability very easy for both men and women.
Common designs include simple dome shaped styles, flat bands and ceramic inlays combined with both tungsten carbide and titanium rings. Colored ceramic rings are colored throughout the entire ring therefore scratches or small cracks will not easily be seen. Unique designs can even be lasered onto the ring to make the ring more special and personal.
