Their latest creation, the exclusive tungsten carbide coin edge wedding band ring for men is manufactured in a gunmetal color, polished to a high finish. The sophisticated presentation of the ring carries the distinctive reeding or grooved notch design originally produced on the edge of coins during the minting process to deter counterfeiting.
This coin edge motif was first made popular as a part of jewelry design in modern times by Tiffany - Company. Yet this motif is not new: it has been discovered on archaeological artifacts in Greece from the 5th Century BC where it was used to decorate the traditional lekythos ceramics used for storing olive oil. Today this design is used to give character to a variety of jewelry items including watches, bracelets, pendants and earrings.
Pairing the incredible strength of tungsten carbide with the elegant coin edge motif produces a stunning and unique men s wedding band ring. With a hardness rating of 8.5 to 9.5 on the Mohs scale, this metal has been used industrially for years for its wear-resistance, making it an ideal medium for mens jewelry.
In addition to traditional and modern wedding band ring styles, there are futuristic jewelry designs created from black tungsten carbide, stainless steel, carbon fiber and black zirconium. Tungsten carbide rings are impervious to damage from normal daily wear, easily maintained and provide a unique fashion statement for men who want durability without sacrificing style



San Luis Obispo could see the warmest temperatures, with the potential for 90-degree readings, according to John Lindsey, meteorologist at Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant.
Wednesday and Thursday will be in the high 70s, then temperatures jump about 10 degrees starting Thursday and lasting through Saturday.
By Sunday, temperatures cool down to the low 80s.
A return to the 70s occurs Monday as the high-pressure area finally weakens, forecasters said.
Along with the high temperatures will be dry conditions, meaning a greater danger should brush fires occur, according to the National Weather Service.
'The fire danger will heighten dramatically, possibly to critical levels, and fire weather watches may be needed,' the Weather Service said.
Lindsey said he sees no chance for rain until the end of November.
