I chose this tungsten wedding bands ring and was given it as a gift to replace my gold wedding ring. My old ring was not even circular any more and the original decorative texture had mostly worn away. I wanted something that was very durable and almost scratch proof, and I like the smaller 6-mm size. After about a month of wear, I think the tungsten carbide lives up to the claims. The gold inlay gets fine scratches, but the tungsten carbide seems scratch free. This tungsten wedding bands ring looks great and feels solid. Compared to the photo, it seems to have a warmer, darker color to it unless in bright direct light. The tungsten wedding bands jewelry stores sell them at a much higher price.
