They are durable, but they are also expensive.

Titanium rings are getting popular up here too. Lighter, and cheaper.

$20 on eBay. ..

You can find good ones off EBay for $50 bucks. They are virtually indestructible, but they can be shattered and sawn through (eventually).

My hubby's first ring I got him was stolen, so the replacements I buy in multiples on Ebay so he's got a spare when he misplaces the one he wears all the time.

The Tungsten are actually very attractive, especially the black version. I'd love to have myself for when I am doing manual labor or playing outside, I just havent found one small enough yet.

Gold is currently expensive as hell, isn't very durable, and many don't like to wear it. A ring doesn't lose any of its symbolic value based on the material it is made from. A wedding ring is meant to be worn. Why not get a ring the owner will like wearing.

I have a tungsten ring with laser etched crosses in it and its not only bad ass, but it has held up VERY well to the abuse I give it. Kind of spendy for a ring with no stones, but well worth it imo

looked into tungston, thought the heavy aspect would be cool, went the other direction and got titanium, glad i did, nice to not feel it on your hand.

My ring was $97 out the door with fitting, lifetime-no questions asked damage replacement and resize replacement(cant re-size this). My rings is plain and very light and is better looking after a year than my brothers Ti that he bought a month earlier.

I looked at one of these rings in a jewelry store a couple of years ago as a replacement for my 18 yo wedding ring. It was $400 so I passed. Not sure why the ones on Ebay are so cheap but I'm thinking of getting one, hell at that price I can get one for every finger......but I won't.
