Tantalum is an exceptional metal that has burst on the men’s wedding ring scene with good reason. This highly durable metal exhibits the exact characteristic that groom’s-to-be look for in a modern day wedding ring. Let’s look at why this metal has become such a popular choice of wedding ring in such a short period of time.

Tantalum Metal Characteristics

Tantalum is a hard metal that due to is great metal characteristics has been used in a range of applications including medical implants and pacemakers due to the metal’s inertness and hypoallergenic characteristics. Tantalum has also been used in a range of other industries due to its strength.

These medical and commercial uses have made tantalum the perfect choice of wedding ring, with durability being one of its primary strengths. Tantalum is very scratch resistant (all rings will scratch to some degree) and completely crack resistant, which makes it an excellent choice for those with a busy and active lifestyle.

Tantalum’s physical appearance is also a big draw card. It is a greyish metal with a of bluish shade that gives it such as truly unique look. It also comes at a weight which is similar to that of platinum, giving it that luxurious feel, but without the price tag.

Whilst being a rare earth metal that performs on par with platinum in terms of strength and durability, it is priced at a much more appealing price point, priced roughly at that 9 carat gold rings.

Another benefit of tantalum is that the metal can be made and combined with gold to create an exceptional two-tone mixed metal looking ring. The tantalum and gold mixed metal rings are priced around the price of 14 -18 carat gold rings, but the result is a superior ring that is truly unique, will last a lifetime and you will love wearing.
