he huge surge of new materials used in the creation of jewelry today has given customers more choices of fresh products that bring in style. But the surprising thing about the impact of these new products is the increased interest of men to accessorize.
Though there are men who do love to dress up with necklaces, bracelets and pendants, most male customers prefer to buy signature rings as their main jewelry. Titanium, tungsten carbide and stainless steel jewelry apparently are now directly competing with silver and platinum. The affordable price and same appearance of alternative metals make most men think twice about spending thousands of dollars on precious metals.
But even in the alternative metal jewelry arena, competition is also tight. Because the price point is nearly the same with each type of alternative metal jewelry, tungsten carbide jewelry and stainless steel jewelry appears to be further fragmenting the market. Designers and consumers are now debating whether tungsten carbide or stainless steel jewelry is better when it comes to men's wedding bands.
Tungsten carbide has always been marketed as a tough and very durable metal. Because of this perception, sales of tungsten carbide rings surged and are now estimated to be between 300,000 to 500,000 wedding bands a year. But some industry experts and designers are arguing that tungsten carbide is not as indestructible as what customers were led to believe.
Actually, tungsten carbide is not really a metal but a metal matrix composite. It is a very tough material with hardness that is comparable to sapphire. But because it is not a true metal, wedding bands crafted from tungsten carbide cannot bend or tolerate sharp shocks, like getting dropped on a marble floor. Tungsten carbide rings (though this is subject to the quality and design of the jewelry) has the tendency to shatter, crack or chip.
