I got married in 2000, and back then I never knew of Tungsten Carbide as a ring material.  I don't wear gold jewelry so I chose Platinum, and my original wedding band cost around $700, which is $1200+ in today's money (and Platinum value).

The problem with Platinum though is that it quickly dulls and gets fine scratches on it, and before you know it it looks like cheap silver.  You end up having to clean it all the time to make it look good.  Don't get me wrong, the day it is clean, it looks amazing.  Kinda like a black car.  But it quickly loses that luster, which is annoying.

Several months ago I got so fed up with cleaning my Platinum ring, that I got a simple domed comfort fit Tungsten wedding band for less than a hundred dollars, and I was very pleased with it.  Always looks shiny, cannot be scratched in normal use, and just looks great.  But I ordered a size too small, so it was a little tight.

So given the amazing value of Tungsten as a ring material I ordered this one.  The company is great, they ship very quickly, and I got the package long before they estimated.

The great thing about Tungsten is not only is it much cheaper than other metals, it always looks as good as the day you bought it.  You can wear it every day, knock it into things, do stuff that would scratch the heck out of a Gold or Platinum ring, and it looks unblemished.  You just can't beat that rugged finish in my book.

As for this specific model, it's comfortable to wear.  The inside is smooth and nicely convex to fit comfortably on the finger. The edges are smooth and don't dig into the finger, which is important.  The two angled edges are shiny and give the ring character.  The brushed look of the main ring looks sophisticated, especially accented with the polished portions.

Frankly, the only reason I didn't go five stars is that the satin brushed portion looks a little grayer than the picture, which makes it look a little more like Titanium than I would have liked.  But that is being pedantic, and really if I had the choice I'd have given 4.5 stars.  At the end of the day, the price of this product, and similar, is unbeatable.  I'd have to pay easily 50 times what I paid for this to get something similar in Platinum, and it just wouldn't be worth it to me.  Especially given the tedious upkeep of Platinum.
