Description
This striking men’s wedding ring features a line of shared prong set black sapphires that runs all the way around the middle of a brushed white tungsten band. It’s an excellent example of the ways gemstones can be integrated into men’s wedding rings to add meaning and sparkle while not overpowering the design, and it’s a great place to start when designing your own piece.

Black Diamonds
In the center of this band, a shallow channel holds a line of shared prong set black sapphires. The prongs holding these elegant stones are blackened to intensify the color of the gems and also to present a uniform look. The contrast this line of black creates with the white tungsten on either side adds a dynamic aspect to the design, and using gemstones similar to those used in the women’s rings that make up the rest of the set can create an extra special connection between all three.

Band Design
The band itself is 8mm wide, and it’s made of white tungsten. This metal is incredibly hard, and its elegant silvery color provides the perfect complement to the rich black of the sapphires in the middle. The top of the band is slightly domed as well, giving the design a more classical feel, and the inside of the band is softly curved to create a comfort fit. Men’s Custom Wedding Bands
Contrasting Finishes
The top surface of the tungsten is brushed, which produces an elegant matte surface. This contrasts nicely with the sparkle of the sapphires, as well as with the high polish finish on both ring fronts. Using contrasting finishes like this is an excellent way to add subtle complexity to a design without overshadowing the main features, and it also provides for a full representation of the metal’s lovely properties.
