Even if you're in the early stages of the wedding planning process, we say it's never too early to start thinking about your wedding bands. If you picture it like this: these bands will become an integral part of your everyday life. Your most worn piece of jewelry + one of the biggest reminders from your wedding day. And if you're the type of couple who wants to find wedding bands that are unique, customizable, highly durable and affordable (and, really, who doesn't?!), stick around for a sec to meet our partners at Tungsten World.

In addition to that, they offer cobalt chrome wedding rings, diamond tungsten rings, titanium wedding bands for men and black zirconium wedding bands. Their alternative metals come in a wide array of colors + styles and are even available in varying levels of ruggedness. So what - exactly - makes a ring vary in ruggedness? Here's a quick example to break it down: A men's tungsten wedding band is 8x more scratch resistant than 14k gold wedding rings and at an average cost of $199, much more affordable as well.
