Men's Tantalum Wedding Bands

From their toughness and durability to their ability to add an edge to your look, not to mention the potential for some sensational inlay materials, tantalum rings are the perfect men’s wedding band in many ways.

For it's Strength and Durability

Many grooms admire the durability and strength of tantalum. Thanks to the hardness of this metal, a tantalum wedding band will be scratch-resistant and won't bend as easily as other precious or alternative metals.

While both Tungsten and tantalum each have numerous advantages, the main differentiator between them is their weight. Tungsten is extremely heavy, while tantalum is very lightweight by comparison, so it comes down to personal preference on how heavy you want your wedding band to be on your finger.

Some people may find it surprising, but a tantalum ring is not completely indestructible. While they are incredibly durable, strong, and scratch-resistant, tantalum wedding bands can crack or break if dropped on a hard surface.

A tantalum ring is waterproof and will not rust, so wearing it in the shower is okay. While a tantalum wedding band is water-resistant, you should still take precautions in swimming pools with harsh cleaning solutions and chemicals, and refrain from submerging it for extened periods of time.

The average price of a men's wedding band will range from just under $200 to around $3,500 for a high-end luxury brand. On average most people spend around $600 on a men's wedding band, but this will depend almost entirely on the ring's metal, and the presence of any rare gems.

Traditionally, Gold has been one of the more popular choices for men's wedding bands. However, in recent years, we have seen a shift in the trend towards many alternative metals, such as Tungsten or Titanium, and even most recently Tantalum.
