      Ceramic Rings and Wedding Bands - Pros and Cons

      When it comes to engagement rings, people are often creative with the design and materials they choose. In many cases, though, that creativity vanishes when it's time to for the wedding ring. Many opt for the same plain gold circle that nearly everybody else chooses. While gold is a durable and common choice for wedding rings, it's not the only choice. Instead of breaking the bank searching for gold rings, consider buying a ceramic ring.


      If you've never heard of ceramic rings before, this may seem like a bizarre choice. The first thing that most people think of when they hear the word "ceramic" they think of ceramic pottery and all those pottery classes where the ceramic would break so easily. Ceramic wedding rings are entirely different and are not made of the same material as ceramic pottery! Ceramic is a durable and sturdy material for rings, with a diverse assortment of styles and colors. Learn more about ceramic rings in the guide below. 

      What is Ceramic?

      To begin, let's explore what ceramic is in a little more depth. When talking about jewelry-grade ceramics, its technical name is titanium carbide.


      Titanium carbide is a natural, organically occurring substance. Although it isn't a metal, this carbide is a sturdy substance that's highly resistant to heat. As such, it is used for heat guards in space shuttles. Manufacturers can heat it to extreme highs, forming the material we call ceramic.


      Other types of ceramic have more industrial uses, finding uses in spark plugs, coffee mugs, and kitchen floor tiling. The reason it has so many varied possibilities is because of its heat resistance. 


      In recent years, jewelers have found ways to create stylish and attractive jewelry with titanium carbide ceramic.

      Benefits of Ceramic Rings

      Ceramic rings cost significantly less than other materials. You can find a top-quality ceramic wedding ring for much cheaper than a gold, stainless steel, or platinum ring.


      Ceramic rings also have surprising strength. They are highly resistant to heat but also to direct impact and scratching. If your job requires a great deal of physical labor, ceramic rings might be a practical choice. 


      Another benefit of these rings is that they're hypoallergenic. Many ring materials feature common allergens, such as nickel. Because they lack these allergen components, ceramic rings are excellent choices for people who get allergic reactions from certain metals.


      Ceramic rings are great because they come in black ceramic as well as white ceramic. Black ceramic is your best choice for a black ring since it's one of the only non-plated black ring options. Black and white are both great colors that fit with any wardrobe.

      Downsides of Ceramic Rings

      While ceramic rings have many advantages, they also have a few disadvantages to consider. The worst inconvenience with these rings is that you can't resize them. 


      Most metal materials for rings are softer and more malleable, allowing jewelers to resize them with ease. However, ceramic is not a malleable material. As your fingers change size with age, you may find your ring no longer fits well. Some sellers offer free exchanges where you can swap out your current one with a different-sized ring. Clarify your seller's policy before making a purchase.


      Another disadvantage to these rings is their hardness. While it often works to the wearer's benefit, ceramic hardness has a few downsides. Its rigidity makes it more prone to shattering or breaking if you drop it. Albeit, the amount of force needed to shatter a ceramic ring is quite high.


      The final downside to ceramic rings is that they don't work well for intricate designs. As mentioned before, other materials are more malleable than ceramic, making them easier to shape. Because ceramic is such a dense material, it's troublesome to craft designs for it.

      How to Care for Ceramic Rings

      Ceramic rings resist scratching and damage with ease but often attract stains since they come in a shiny black or white color. It is often said that black paint cars are the hardest to keep clean because black will show off dirt and blemishes easier. The same can be said for black ceramic rings. If you notice a blemish on your ceramic ring, don't worry! These rings are among the most low-maintenance on the market.


      You can easily clean your ring with a damp cloth and mild detergent or soap.  It may take a few minutes to remove marks. To check your progress, rinse the ring off to see if the spot is at all diminished. Keep working on it until the blemish vanishes for good.

      White Ceramic Glowstone Ring

      This ring features the same qualities as the previous one. The primary difference between the two is this ring's white base, which provides a unique offset for your glowstone preferences. The great thing about ceramic is that the colors aren't plated and will not rub off over time unlike black tungsten or black titanium.
