The reason I Chose a 8mm tungsten ring style for my wedding ring
So, why did we select 8mm tungsten ring designs for my wedding band? Well, it is actually quite a humorous adventure that led us to wondering about men’s tungsten wedding bands to begin with.
It is necessary to take into account during this story that the 8mm tungsten carbide ring is known for, among other things, being very resilient and reasonably priced.
One evening about 1 month ago my wife Judy & I were standing in the_ patio talking when my wife and i got a call from our neighbor a couple of doors to the north and he needed to find out if we had access to a metal detector. Apparently , he had just washed his hands and went outside to throw a ball with their dog. On the first throw his Tungsten Wedding Ring went flying off of his finger & into the_ backyard (or even over the fence).
Our daughter & son were down playing with the neighbor’s youngsters when all of this took place. Our little princess mentioned to the neighbor that grandma and grandpa had a metal detector. Humorous thing is it was true. My dad & mom still had the old Radio Shack metal detector that my brother had when we were little. We told the neighbor what it was and that is was so old it perhaps didn’t work. WRONG! Our girl was swift to correct us . Apparently, she & her brother had just been playing with it with grandpa the_ week before.
Fast forward a couple of days. We got the_ metal detector from my mom and dad and let the neighbor go to town looking for it. He spent three hours in the heat and humidity of a hot August day in Missouri. Unfortunately, no such luck. I’m not sure he found anything metal in that backyard.
That prompted Judy & I to try and find out if Tungsten Bands would actually be detectable by a metal detector in the 1st place. After searching and searching my wife and i never really found a solid answer to our question. (Please leave a comment to this article if you know the answer).
However, during our search we started looking at these cool looking Tungsten Rings. The more i looked for information on the metal detector question the_ more we started thinking what great looking rings they were. I just so happened that i had previously been discussing replacing our own gold wedding rings due to how poorly they had held up over the_ years.
We’ve learned a ton of info near Tungsten Wedding Rings. Did you find out that the_ optimal ones aren’t just made of Tungsten? For the most sturdy Tungsten ring you really need to make sure its made of Tungsten Carbide. This alloy ensures extreme hardness – 8.5 -9 on the_ Mohs hardness scale (Diamonds are a 10). It also makes these rings particularly resistant to scratching.
This incredible durability makes Tungsten rings especially suited for every day wear & tear. Whether you working in the_ office or even out in the_ garage rebuilding an engine you’d be hard pressed to mess these rings up. They’ll hold their shine & luster for nearly forever.
One of the_ questions that kept coming up as i did research was concerning the_ ability for these rings to be cut off in an emergency. It turns out that all hospitals and emergency crews have the_ tools necessary to cut or even break off a Tungsten ring. Sure, they are incredibly hard but these professionals have the_ find out how. One site even gave pretty detailed instructions on how you could use an everyday pair of vice-grip pliers to actually break off the ring yourself at home. It sounded plausible. However, I’d like to see it done in real life.
All in all it seems like Tungsten Bands fit the bill for durable, masculine, highly polished replacement for our old bands. They would also make a great choice for someone getting their first wedding bands. They definitely sound like they would last a lifetime.
Oh, you’re almost certainly still wondering what happened to the neighbor’s Tungsten Ring, right? Well, unfortunately L have mixed news. The_ bad news is he hasn’t found it yet. The_ good news is he had a guarantee on the ring that was like car insurance; it provided a replacement for a smal deductible which is a much better deal than buying a new ring.
I told him “you know, the_ ideal way to find the ring you lost is to go ahead & spend the_ money to get a new one.” Wouldn’t it be humorous if the_ lost ring showed up in the yard the_ next day.
