Devastating wars in succession, namely the WWI and the WWII that practically redefined the political geography of the entire world eventually failed to triumph over humanity. Exchanging rings is definitely the pinnacle or the climax of any wedding ceremony. As the bride and the groom slip in their respective rings, some of the most photogenic moments of the entire social occasion automatically present themselves. Interestingly, the history of men’s wedding rings is comparatively shorter. Womenfolk have been donning the exclusive piece of jewelry across the ages. In fact, history excavated so far confirms the especial ring was quite prominent in ancient Egypt, just a few thousands of years ago.
Gradually, with passage of time, the society as a whole got transformed drastically. It is the result of this never-ending chain of transition that has contributed to this existing custom in the contemporary age. Young men, who stayed away from home for years at a stretch fighting the enemy at the front, missed their ladyloves. Thus, they started wearing rings as a token of their love and affection for their respective sweethearts. Gradually, as the wars terminated the men in uniform returned home. It was at this stage the civilian community picked up the craze of the men’s rings. This practice eventually culminated into a range of unique wedding bands for men.
Traditionally, this especial variety of jewelry used to be made of precious metals like gold and silver. In a striking contrast to that practice, an exclusive range of metals has gained prominence these days. These include titanium, tungsten and others. This alternate assortment of ornaments is more reasonably priced and thus, much easily affordable, as compared to those made from the precious elements.
Particularly, tungsten wedding bands are exceptionally popular among men. The metal has a unique natural shine and the glitter lasts for an eternity. It is one of the hardest substances found in the nature. Jewelry made from it never undergoes dents resulting from regular wear and tear. Thus, these are ideal for those who are involved in sports and other outdoor activities round the year. Tungsten is an ideal hypoallergenic and unlike gold or silver, it never results in rashes and irritations on the skin. In spite of being the heaviest, it is extremely lightweight and can be carried easily. The rings are available in an impressive array of chic, attractive designs.
