Wedding bands

I have a triton stainless steel band
Mine is tungsten carbide. 4.5 years old and still looks brand new and is still perfectly round.
A buddy of mine got one, when working on his lawn mower someone asked him if he should take off his ring so he didn't scratch it. He told them "you can't scratch this" and he then scrapped his ring against the concrete. It came up scratched. Apperantly concrete can contain something that will scratch tungsten carbide; so that and diamonds will scratch it.

Here's what I bought and I love it:

Edit: It's hard to see in the pictures, but it has a small lip on each side.

I have a titanium wedding band, as I did not like the weight of traditional gold, silver rings etc. I cannot stand to have any jewelry on, rarely even wear a watch, which is a shame, got an Omega Speedmaster for a gift 4 years ago!
Tungsten here too. Company called American Tungsten. They can laser etch anything you want on it.
Texas Flag here!!

^^^That is badass!
same thing i have. titanium they cant cut off if you get hurt.
this is what i got too!!!
mine is a simple black titanium
but it works great because i can wrench on my vehicles and not have to take it off for fear of it scratching or anything
Exactly the one I have. Believe I paid $126.00 for it. Super light, unbendable, and still looks great after 9 years.
I got a slightly used Sz 11 White Gold one I will sell ya. I got officially divorced last friday.
What I learned was do NOT get platinum for either your or her. Its a VERY hard metal and it will chip not dent/scratch. My band was $550 in white gold and $2200 if platinum.

From what I have been told it is tungsten they can't cut. Instead they clamp down on a portion of it with vice grips several time until it shatters/crumbles.
Yea that's why I got the tungsten. If my hand its caught or something like that it will shatter.

Actually I was wrong when I said mine was tungsten. It's a Scott Kay cobalt band with 14k gold accent. My wife loves it as much as I do. Wasn't cheap, but it was what I really wanted. Much nicer than my (more expensive) old 14k gold wedding band.
My wife got me a black tungston cobalt free batman wedding band
Black tungsten...unscratchable unless hit by more tungsten or a diamond. study as hell, was great because I worked on guns all day. ex wife had one too....she had her engagement ring and then black tungsten as well, it was very diff. people always complimented her on it...then we got divorced lol these were our actual rings.

Tungsten Carbide here as well, takes anything you can throw at it, people always ask me how often I clean it, as it has no scratches and looks brand new. I have put the ring through hell (working in power plants, working on my car, skiing etc) it still looks perfect and I havent cleaned it from day one.
