Tungsten: The Broken Bond

By Chad Stevenson


The bond of marriage is one of the most sacred unions that two humans can seal with each other. When these two people want to seal their ironclad bond with the each other, they buy wedding rings that are as durable and ever-lasting as their marriage supposedly will be. However, be sure to choose wisely when buying that special ring for that special someone. If a ring is flimsy or easily breakable, like those made out of Tungsten, this breakable ring may symbolize a breakable marriage as well.

Let me tell you a story. Two college graduates, a boy and girl, finished their degrees with excellent grades. With one being a math wiz and athlete and the other being proficient at writing and journalism, they were destined to do great things, before they put all those things on hold to rush into a quick marriage. They hadn't been seeing each other that long and their parents wanted them to think hard on this first. However, they both disregarded this advice and chose rings for each other: Triton tungsten rings.

After they married and adorned their fingers with their new tungsten wedding rings, the couple moved into a new apartment with each other, overjoyed that they now were together permanently. But, a few months later, the man was taking out the garbage and his tungsten ring unexpectedly slipped off his finger cracked in half onto the ground almost instantly. Despite how indestructible it appeared, it snapped it half like tissue paper.

Ever since the tungsten ring broke, a string of other "breaks" began to form in their marriage. They fought constantly, they began to suspect each other of infidelity, they slept in separate bedrooms, and nothing seemed to be working between them anymore. It started to sink in that perhaps their parents had been right; maybe they had jumped into an experience they weren't prepared to swallow.

The shattered tungsten ring prophesied a marriage that was doomed to fail, like with our young couple. On the surface, everything seemed fine and strong, but on the inside, things were brittle and unstable. Be careful if you choose a tungsten ring; if the ring falls apart, your marriage may well follow.
