Now that tungsten rings have become so well-known and fashionable, there are as many styles of tungsten rings out there as there are people to wear them. Let’s look at a few:
Tungsten Celtic wedding bands represent a rich history and tradition and are a unique way to celebrate the art and ingenuity of one’s Celtic ancestors. The Celtic tungsten rings on this page include designs that capture religious Christian iconography; interlaced, decorative knot patterns representing never-ending love; and the storied Claddagh, a token of fidelity steeped in folklore and custom.
Other tungsten rings express indentifying information as well. Birthstone tungsten rings make use of the mythology surrounding particular precious and semi-precious gems and their effects on different kind of people and assigns them to particular months or astrological signs. Mother’s tungsten rings are a more recent development in the vein of birthstone jewelry, as these tungsten rings are designed to hold birthstones representing each of a mother’s children.
Other tungsten rings represent interpersonal relationships, and the best-known types of tungsten rings are among these. Friendship tungsten rings are popular in certain regions, and one might have trouble finding anyone in the modern world unfamiliar with the engagement tungsten ring or wedding band and what they mean. One style of tungsten ring that notably serves many functions is the claddagh tungsten ring, an Irish symbol of love, loyalty, and friendship. The latter makes it quite popular as a friendship tungsten ring (especially as a gift), and claddagh tungsten rings can also serve as engagement and wedding bands with the hand on which it’s worn and the direction of the heart’s point indicating the wearer’s status.
When shopping for tungsten weddings bands pros and cons are an important thing to consider. Do you like flat, domed or concave rings? Would you like to add a bit of detail through etching or engraving? Is this ring a comfort fit or standard fit ring? This is a good question to ask, because the two styles of fit cause a small difference in the sizing of the rings, generally half a size. Most tungsten rings are comfort fit and should be chosen one half size smaller than a standard fit, so be sure to ask.
