So, I talk a lot about tungsten and titanium in terms of jewelry, it's easy; they look awesome, they're different, and they have tons of different application; but every once in a while to stop and take a step back – I'm also a big fan of How It's Made – so, that's what sparked the idea for my latest post; understanding a small bit of the science behind tungsten. Remember, I'm not a scientist, so please bear with me a bit, as I'm learning, too.

When guys look for mens rings for themselves the first time around getting the size right can be tough, especially if you don't get to try the ring on first.

It's not a bad thing at all - it's just the fact that most men are not comfortable buying rings. My friends like to buy their jewelry online because it takes away the hassle of...
