Any of you married guys wear a tungsten ring?

[Browning]

The no scratching/bending is a huge plus to me and I'm thinking it's definitely what I want to get. To those of you who have them, what are your likes/dislikes?

[TurboNova]

I have one and I like it. Never worry about scratches or taking it off for most jobs I take on (mainly because I dont think about it)

 

Just get it sized right the first time because you cannot resize that ring, when mine gets wet it can slide real easy off my finger. I wish mine was another incremental size smaller.

I tried on a 10 and it wasn't very hard to get off but felt pretty nice but was a tad loose. 9.5 was tough to get off and obviously tighter feeling. Lady said she recommended the 10 just in case I gain weight. Not sure which to go with

I wear one and I like it.

Do none of you guys worry about if you were to to do something to your finger and had to go to the hospital?

 

If Nathan didn't work on cars, I would have got him one, but that makes me nervous that it can't be cut off.

[TurboNova]

Well like most when its cold my ring is loose and stupid hot it will fit tighter. Its a crap shoot I just know I would rather had mine a little tighter because when I wash my hands or out in a down pour of rain it will slide right off my finger without even trying.

Not usually worried about it. If I am doing something real heavy I have gloves on and the ring is usually off. I stopped wrenching on cars for a living some years ago but do all my own work in my garage. Have heard plenty of stories from the old guys but just using some common sense goes a long ways.

Maybe a little but I've never had a problem where I've really had an issue with fingers swelling. Is there another metal that is somewhat as durable when it comes to bending/scratching but wouldn't require the fire department to cut it off lol? I was actual gearing more towards tungsten because I work on cars and stuff

Man.. now i can't recall if i got him tungsten or not.. Ill ask him in the morning.. I'm pretty sure i got him a titanium.. it definitely has scratches and wear and tear on it.. but it doenst look bad (9 years of wear and tear)

 

well after some quick googling, looks like BOTH can be cut off. (barring the ER not having the correct equipment)

A friend of mine got a tungsten ring and was allergic to it? He ended up getting a surgical steel ring. I got stainless, but I do NOT wear it at work. That's the biggest danger is wearing jewelry while wrenching.

[POS VETT]

I don't wear any jewelry but I have a Kinekt Gear Ring made of stainless steel; 316 I think.

I was told when replacing my ring last year that only 4 fire departments in the country had the right tool to cut them off.

Tungsten shatters if you hit it in 4 spots with a blunt object. Or it can be shattered with vice grips. Had to have one broken off last year. Was no problem. Titanium is the one that is problematic

Yeah make sure its sized right. I lost weight and its a tad loose lol other than that its nice

Google disagrees

[Erica]

No, they shatter! 14kt gold is the way to go. Sean didn't want a replacement ring if his did shatter, it kinda defeats the purpose of a wedding ring if you keep getting new ones.

They don't shatter THAT easily.

I've got a tungsten ring and usually keep it on my key chain, a couple months ago I noticed a crack and large chunk missing out of it. Surprised me that the whole thing didn't shatter but that's been a couple of months now and it hasn't got any worse

[Brandon]

Got one.

 

Lift weights with it on, doesn't bother me in the least bit, doesn't scratch and fits well in all conditions, warm and cold, when its cold it does get a tiny bit loose.

 

I am not sure I would get anything else for the $/durability.

[starkmaster03]

The one that I bought is two tone Tungsten and SS. Haven't officially started started wearing it but I like it.

[Rustlestiltskin]

I wear a black coated tungsten ring and the black has got scratched a few times exposing the tungsten underneath. I still like the black coated ones though.

[-Alex-]

I've been wearing mine for a little over 2 years now and like it. It's taken some hard hits and has never scratched, but it has gotten pretty dull. I haven't tried to do anything with it, does anyone know if tungsten can be polished or if a standard jewelry cleaner would bring it back?

[BIGGU]

I have a tungsten ring and no issues. I take mine off when workin on cars or anything that I have a risk is smashing a finger.

[Patterson]

I loved mine, always looked good, was nearly impossible to destroy when I split with my Ex.

[DKilbourne]

I have one too. Only issue I have had is that I never saw any of them before I got married, then everyone that I know that has gotten married since has them. Not really an issue, but it seems that everyone likes them. I also take mine off when I work on my car and when I am at the gym. I like my finger enough to try and keep it on my hand.
