Ep. 79 - Men's Wedding Rings: From Gold to Breastmilk (Yes, You Read That Right.)

[Look at me.  I'm your expert now.] In this episode, I'm going to talk about the different materials used to make men's wedding rings. I'll cover the most popular options like gold, platinum, titanium, tungsten carbide, palladium, tantalum, and cobalt, and touch on additional materials you've heard of, and probably not heard of. (A ring made with breast milk?)

I'll explain the advantages and disadvantages of each material and ultimately settle on the most important aspect to consider: your personal likes and dislikes. (I know...revolutionary!)

Key Takeaways:

• Gold: A timeless choice, but prone to scratching and denting.
• Platinum: Durable, tarnish-resistant, and patina-prone.
• Titanium: Lightweight, hypoallergenic, but non-resizable.
• Tungsten Carbide: Ultra-durable, but can shatter.
• Palladium: Platinum-like, but potentially pricier.
• Tantalum: Shades of gray, with resizing challenges.
• Cobalt: Affordable, bright white, but not easily resized.
• Even More Materials: From meteorite to breast milk.  There are almost endless choices for rings these days.
• The most Important Thing: The most important factor when choosing a wedding ring is personal preference.

If you’re “that guy,” (and of course you can be a woman) that people should hear from because you know your sh*t about a certain subject, please reach out to me, and let’s talk about how we can work together.
