      Why a Scratch Proof Wedding Band Matters

      When you're shopping around for a wedding ring, it's important to find something that will last as long as your marriage (which is hopefully forever). How long your band lasts will depend on how well you take care of it and the material it is made from. Precious metals like platinum, silver, or gold are all potential options, but one major area you should look out for is whether or not your ring's scratch proof. Some people see a scratch proof wedding band as a way to show off their love. A scratch proof wedding band and its durability represents the strength of the relationship. It's also a major factor in making your ring last a lifetime. In this article, we'll go over various scratch resistant men's rings and narrow down your search options. We'll highlight some of the best features each one has to help you pick your lifelong ring.

      What Makes a Ring Scratch Resistant?

      Scratch proof wedding bands

      The hardness of a precious metal used to make a ring depends on the type of metal. It's all about the properties of the metal. Different metals will have different levels of durability. The Mohs hardness scale is used to calculate a material's hardness which directly correlates to its scratch resistance. The Mohs hardness of a metal is a measure of its resistance to scratching and abrasion. The higher the Mohs hardness, the more resistant the metal is to scratching and abrasion. Diamonds rank the highest on the Mohs scale, which means the only thing that can scratch a diamond is another diamond itself. Tungsten ranks quite high as well, right under the diamond. Tungsten wedding bands are extremely popular because of this.

      Scratch Resistance vs Crack Resistance: What's The Difference?

      Wedding rings come in a variety of materials, each with its own unique set of properties. Scratch resistance is the ability for the hardest materials to resist being scratched or damaged by everyday wear and tear. Crack resistance is the ability of a material to resist breaking or cracking. Examples include dropping or hitting it against a hard object.

      Unfortunately, it's not possible to have a ring that is both extremely scratch resistant and crack resistant. The two types of resistances are inversely related. You can have a strong metal ring that's crack resistant like a white gold or platinum wedding band, but the scratch resistance won't be very high. You're more likely to see scratches on this white metal. But you could also have a scratch resistant metal ring like tungsten carbide, where enough pressure against a hard surface can cause the ring to shatter. This is because it's a very hard and brittle metal and can't flex or absorb shock as well as other materials. The good news is that you actually want this for removing your ring during medical emergencies.

      Scratch resistance is important if you're looking for a ring that can handle daily wear and tear. But if you want a ring that can withstand dropping, crack resistance is more important. We tend to prefer scratch-resistant over crack resistant rings. Rings are meant to be worn which means you shouldn't really be taking your ring off and accidentally dropping it. In addition, in the event of an emergency, say your finger gets stuck and your ring is in the way, a tungsten ring can be cracked and easily removed.

      Our Favorite Scratch Proof Wedding Bands

      When picking a scratch proof metal for your wedding band, there are a lot of important things to take into account. You're going to want something that's affordable, comfortable, and beautiful to you. Thankfully, we have rings that check all those boxes while being made from some of the strongest metals on Earth. The following alternative metal rings need little maintenance compared to other expensive metals.

      Titanium

      Titanium is one of our most timeless options. But does titanium scratch easily compared to other popular metals? Under most circumstances, a titanium wedding ring doesn't scratch easily because of its properties. It's one of the hardest and most durable materials on Earth. This makes it difficult for other materials to scratch or damage it. We wouldn't say titanium is completely scratch-proof, but it is scratch-resistant. It's also resistant to corrosion and surface scratches. It's easier to take care of than other rings because of this.
