The latest black ceramic wedding bands are exceptionally glossy & stylish
One of the newest wedding ring trends to hit the market are ceramic and tungsten jewelry pieces such as black tungsten rings.
Now, while you may read or hear “ceramic” & think of a plate or cup smashing, or “black tungsten carbide rings” and think of light bulb filaments blowing out, nothing could be further from the truth. Ceramic wedding rings are not breakable like glass jewelry; all the varieties of black wedding bands we will look at are very strong.
Zirconium is similar to titanium in terms of weight and durability.
What are ceramic wedding rings? They are made from a combination of powdered pure ceramic materials & zirconium, which is then heated to more than 6000 degrees, resulting in a molten liquid. The liquid is shaped, cut, cooled, and then polished into a ring. The hardness of ceramic rings is similar to the hardness of tungsten carbide rings, however much lighter in weight.
This is great news for those unfortunate folk who have contact allergies to metals. Ceramic is most commonly found to be black however in recent years white and pink have become popular.
While some other colored & treated wedding rings may fade in color, a ceramic wedding ring won’t. This is especially significant for those who want a black wedding ring.
Weighs less than a tungsten ring, but is heavier than a titanium wedding ring. The color of ceramic is solid & contained the whole way through the ring. The amazingly lightweight trait makes the wear ability very easy for both men and women.
Those who have active lifestyles, jobs, or hobbies may be reassured to know that ceramic rings are pretty difficult to scratch. Colored ceramic rings are colored throughout the entire ring therefore scratches or small cracks will not easily be seen. Ceramic fashion rings will continue to gain popularity with both men and women for years to come.
