Arranging a Nontraditional Wedding

• Tungsten wedding bands are an increasingly
  popular choice for soon-to-be-married men. Though
  not exclusive to male rings, its industrial
  design, smooth finish Pronovias Amposta, weight
  and durability are symbols of masculinity and
  strength. Most metals have both positive and
  negative aspects, though, and tungsten is no
  exception.

• Tungsten carbide and ceramic rings are removed by
  cracking them into pieces with standard vice grip
  locking pliers. The same technique is used for
  removing natural stone bands like onyx or jade.
  Place vice grip locking pliers over the San
  Patrick Cenia band and adjust the jaws to clamp
  lightly. Release and adjust tightening screw
  one-forth turn and clamp again. Repeat this
  process until a crack is heard. The ring will
  brake in to two or more pieces.

• The color of tungsten carbide is a very appealing
  light gray, similar to the color of steel. Its
  extremely bright and reflective when polished,
  and when a finish is applied to a tungsten
  carbide Sottero and Midgley Jsm1103 band, the
  gray is more pronounced, allowing wonderful
  contrasts for traditional or contemporary
  designs. The subtle gray color is also an
  excellent backdrop for precious metal inlays like
  platinum, palladium, sterling silver, and gold.

• We liked the look of titanium and even though we
  heard rumors that titanium is hard and cant be
  cut we saw no reason for not going with titanium
  bands. We found this great website Allure 8712
  which had a great variety of wedding bands not to
  mention great prices also. Needless to say we
  were extremely happy with the rings we ordered.
  We got married in December 2007 and we recently
  had our first baby.

• When we contacted our local hospital emergency
  room and asked if they were equipped to remove
  tungsten Casablanca 1822 bands in an emergency,
  they told us that most hospital emergency rooms
  are prepared to handle almost anything, and
  assured us that it would be no problem for them.
