Why Tungsten is the Best Choice for Men’s Wedding Bands

Choosing a wedding band should be simple. But as we know, it’s anything but these days. The market has become flooded with options that just don’t make sense for us guys anymore. There’s weird materials you’ve never heard of, trends that feel outdated, overpriced metals, and a lot of false promises. 

Now, I’m guessing you don’t really care about all the nitty-gritty details or the science behind what your ring’s made of. What you do care about is whether it’s durable, reliable, and timeless enough to fit into your daily life, right? Because let’s be real—this is something you’ll wear every single day for the rest of your life. It’s got to look great, handle whatever life throws at you, and not need a second thought.

At CRAFTD, we get that. We’re not here to complicate things with gimmicks or materials that won’t last. No fluff, no frills. Just a solid wedding band you can count on—Tungsten. And if you’re new to the whole wedding band thing or just want to dig a little deeper, keep reading. We’ve answered the top few common questions below. But, if you have more, feel free to reach out—we’ve got you.

“I need something tough. Is Tungsten the most durable option?”

If you’re someone who’s active, whether that’s working with your hands or just lifting weights a few times a week, tungsten is the one you want. It’s arguably the only option if you’re looking for something that’s going to be reliable and tough enough to take a beating on a daily basis.

Sure, traditional metals like gold, silver, and platinum look nice, but they’re actually much softer than most people realise. They scratch, dent, and wear down way quicker than you’d expect. Even metals like titanium, which are supposed to be strong, don’t really live up to the hype. Don’t get me wrong, they can take a hit, but they’re not nearly as scratch-resistant as you need them to be.

These days, most guys are looking for more of an all rounder. Not only is Tungsten practically scratch-proof, but it ticks all the other boxes you’d want it to as well. It’ll keep its shape, it'll shine, and it doesn't need babying. To put it into one word, it’s dependable. 

“I like the look of traditional metals. Does Tungsten come in gold or silver?”

Yes. As strong as tungsten is, we get it—gold and silver will always be the classics. They’re timeless, versatile, and go with anything. The good news is Tungsten bands aren’t just limited to their natural gunmetal colour. In fact, they can be finished in pure gold or silver, giving you the look you want with the durability you need.

That said, not all tungsten rings are made equal. You’ll find that some cheaper alternatives can chip or fade over time. That’s why every CRAFTD tungsten ring is finished with a high quality Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating, making it even more resistant to wear, so it holds up—just like it should.

“I've never worn a ring before. Will a Tungsten wedding band feel uncomfortable?”

Good question. If you’ve never worn a ring before, it can feel like a big change. What if it doesn’t suit you? What if it’s uncomfortable or gets in the way? 

First off, you’re not alone. And second, we’re not going to tell you tungsten is the most comfortable metal you’ll ever wear—because no metal can really claim that title. Comfort actually comes down to the design and details of the ring itself. Some are shaped better than others, and no two will ever feel exactly the same. Think of it like shoes, no two pairs fit exactly the same, right? 

That said, your wedding band is something you’ll wear 24/7 for the rest of your life, so comfort isn’t exactly negotiable. That’s why we went through 100’s of samples to get it just right. We call it ‘comfort fit’—a slightly rounded interior that sits smoothly on your finger. Plus, we’ve added a brushed interior to prevent slipping, pinching, or constant adjusting. You’ll probably forget it’s even there… until someone compliments it.

That said, anything new takes a little getting used to, so make sure to give yourself a good week or two to break it in. After that, you’ll be good to go.

“Can my Tungsten ring be resized?”

Nope, but that’s actually a good thing. Tungsten is CRAFTD to last, which means it’s so strong that it can’t be resized without messing with its durability. And think about it—if a ring can be resized, it’s probably not strong enough to go the distance. Definitely not worth your time or money.

“But what if my ring size changes?”

Fair question. The average guy needs a new size at least once in his life, so it’s not really something to stress about right now. If that ever happens though, we’ve got you. Every CRAFTD tungsten ring comes with a lifetime warranty, so if you ever need a different size, we’ll replace it. No hassle. No stress.
