Tungsten rings with inlaid metal or ceramic bands are a major staple of this section of the jewelry industry. Almost always you’ll find them with the non tungsten band wrapped around the ring, creating the look of three (or more) seperate sections. This gives the ring a classy look and really makes you stand back and admire it. However, not all inlay tungsten carbide jewelry follows this classic tradition. One of these others is the Basium, an offering by Tungsten Collection.
The Basium offers an unique and elegant approach to the inlay category. The black zircona bands run vertically, a far cry from the more common horizontal band. Tungsten rings are all about being unique, so this works really well. Zirconia is another tough ceramic material, so it does not degrade from the mechanical strength of the ring. This means that it is not liable to be scratched like other softer metals. Overall, the Basium is a great addition to the inlay tungsten ring category. Don’t feel like you’re confined to the horizontal inlay!
