So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

By Fred Gagnon

Tungsten wedding bands are symbolic gifts of everlasting love and loyalty that could stand the coldness and warmth of times. Embedded in each tungsten ring the couple's promise to each other to be one in sickness or in health, for richer or for poorer. With its heavy weight and enduring finish, tungsten wedding bands perfectly symbolize commitment, security and an everlasting bond. Tungsten wedding bands have the ability to maintain its everlasting, beautiful and shiny finish.

Tungsten wedding bands are preferred for its elegance and durability. With the hardness that they possess, tungsten wedding bands do not easily deform, thus, maintaining their shape for a long period of time.

Like titanium rings, tungsten rings are hypoallergenic, making them very comfortable to wear.

Tungsten is the only exotic and rare metal that can keep a permanent finish and polish that will last a lifetime. It maintains its shape for a long time and does not easily deform, because it is 5x harder than steel.

Why prefer tungsten wedding bands?

1. Tungsten wedding bands are meticulously crafted. To fabricate, refine and polish tungsten, one has to do the 40 separate, labor intensive processes. Tungsten plus some other elements, like carbon, are ground into powder and sintered. In the sintering process, the powdered elements are compressed with high heat to form a ring blank. The ring blank is fired in an oxygen free furnace at 6,200*F.

Using diamond tools, the ring blank is cut and shaped, which requires up to 40 total separate steps for completion. Then, the ring is skillfully polished with diamond polishing tools and wheels. This process creates a permanent luster and polish not possible with other metals.

2. Tungsten wedding bands remain polished forever. Tungsten rings possess high gloss mirror-like finish that remains. That is why it is referred to a "Permanently Polished Rings".

3. Tungsten wedding bands are scratch-resistant. Tungsten does not bend or scratch easily, it has between 8 and 9 hardness on Mohs scale. Tungsten is 4 times harder than titanium, 5 times harder than steel and about 10 times harder than 18k Gold. It has the capacity to hold their shine and shape longer than any ring on the market because of its hardness. Also, in the event of an emergency, the ring can be removed by a medical professional, since tungsten wedding bands do not bend.

4. Tungsten has that same luxurious precious metal feel of heavier rings because it is heavy enough.
