Men’s Rings – Tungsten Vs Titanium

Friday, January 21st, 2011

There are pros and cons for each one of these metals. In regards to weight, titanium is the lightest metal of the two as well as all of the other precious metals. Tungsten is considered to be the heaviest metal off all the precious metals including titanium. Both titanium and tungsten are gray in color. This can become unattractive to some if the person looking for a men’s ring, is looking for luster and shine.

Another difference between the two is that, titanium rings don’t tend to tarnish as easy as tungsten. This is a big deal if maintaining your ring is not something that you want to constantly do all the time. Although maintenance should be considered if you want to keep your ring in top shape and looking that way, out of the two metals, titanium is the metal that needs less maintainable.

Both metals are hypoallergenic, meaning that they are not known to cause irritation or allergies to the skin as opposed to metals such as gold or silver. This is something that one must consider as well specially if you tend to suffer from rashes and allergic reactions on the skin.

Although both metals are very strong and durable, it is said that when buying a tungsten ring, you are basically buying a ring that will last you a lifetime. Tungsten is a virtually indestructible metal, so this can be something to consider when buying for example, a men’s wedding band. Usually wedding bands are meant to be kept for a very long time so you would want to have a band made out of a metal that is very durable. Tungsten will provide that durability without a doubt.

In regards to price, both pretty much are in the same price range but that would also depend on where you go to shop. If you want a simple wedding band titanium can be a little bit higher in price. This can be because of how lightweight titanium is and this is very important for a man who will be wearing his wedding band all the time. If you want diamonds on the ring for each metal, the prices are pretty much even.

Both metals have it’s pros and cons, but ultimately it is a decision made by you. One thing for sure, is that if you want a long lasting ring, but luster and shine isn’t a big deal to you then consider buying a ring made out of these two metals.

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

Now a days it is difficult to determine what constitutes a designer watch as opposed to a normal one. Designer watches were born out of the fashion industry with famous designer brands like Armani, Cartier, D&G, Sesky, DKNY and Guess launching their own ranges of watches. The design of these is very fashion orientated and often in line with the latest fads and couture ranges. These designer brands offer a wide range particularly when buying watches for women. They also offer jewellery & bracelet watches many of which go well with their jewellery accessories. If you are buying for a fashion orientated person then you will need to have a specific look or dress in mind that the designer watch will go with. You can then accessories with earrings, neckwear or wrist wear jewellery either from the same fashion designer or any one you like.

There are also watch designs based on themes like sporting events, famous celebrities or whatever is the latest fashionable fad. If the man you are buying a watch for is a petrol head or a sports fan then you will find a number of watch designs themed on famous sporting events like the Moto GP or the Olympics. There are a huge number of sports watches on offer that also look like designer watches. For a classic clean look go for chronograph watches from Armani, Oris, Hamilton or Tissot for men.
