Diamonds are classic, but tungsten engagement rings scream "unbreakable bond." The Patrick Adair Nebula centers a 1 ct lab-grown diamond tension-set in black tungsten—diamond floats, tungsten frames. $799.
Budget option: Tungsten World Halo, 6 mm band with 0.1 ct diamond bezel. $249. Stack with wedding band later.
Men’s engagement trend: signet-style tungsten with birthstone inlays. Sapphire for September babies, set flush. $189.
Colored ceramics pair with tungsten—Ceramique Vortex, blue zirconia ceramic over tungsten core. $399.
Durability sells it: drop it, smash it, diamond stays put (prongs would bend in gold). Sizing critical—propose with a placeholder if unsure.
Critics say "too masculine." Counterpoint: rose gold plating and filigree soften edges. Resale lower than gold, but you’re not flipping love.
Tungsten engagements say "I choose you—and I choose forever."
