I hate rings and other jewelry.  I lost my gold wedding band years ago and never replaced it because I thought wedding band = gold = too expensive for something I don't even like owning except for sentimental reasons.  I am building an airplane in my garage and discovered tungsten as a great metal to buck rivets with because it is dense and extremely hard.  A friend showed me his titanium ring and I thought, "Wow, I didn't know they made jewelry out of anything but gold, silver, or plated pot metal."  What can I say?  I'm not a jewelry guy.  I then got on Amazon and searched for a metal ring to replace my long lost gold band and happened to find out that they made these out of tungsten carbide.  It was a "eureka!" moment for me and I placed an order.  I have since been wearing this band for about six months and it still looks as shiny and new as the day it arrived.  I am very tough on my hands and have yet to get so much as a scuff or smudge on this ring.  I highly recommend it for guys who want to honor their wife without sinking a lot of money into an object that offers no other practical use.  I bought two of these in case I lose one.  :)
