The weather may be cool this holiday season, but the gifts are Hot, Hot Hot! If you're looking for holiday gifts that will knock his socks off, consider the season's hottest gifts for men.  Tungsten carbide jewelry has been heating up jewelry stores across the nation as men gravitate toward the hip, masculine and sexy look of tungsten carbide mens jewelry.  New styles and a variety of designs have grown in popularity in recent years, starting with men's wedding bands and moving toward the watches and tungsten carbide bracelets.  For holiday gifts, a tungsten carbide bracelet or watch is ideal for the most manly of men. 

If you've never gone jewelry shopping with your man before, I strongly recommend it.  First of all, even if you're not knowledgeable about jewelry or have the money to fork over thousands of dollars on a diamond encrusted necklace, nothing stirs the mood like gazing at each other through the reflections of beautifully crafted jewelry.  In addition to spending time together, it's an excellent way to gauge what looks good on your man and what looks hot! 

In a recent trip down jewelry lane, my fiancé and I took in all the designers, styles and precious metals as we searched strolled from store to store.  While there were many rings and jewelry pieces that were beautiful, we both found that the look and feel of tungsten carbide, got both our engines turning.  With predispositions of thinking you want what everybody else has, we started out looking at white gold and platinum, to find that we weren't really turned on by anything we saw.  We moved over to one case that said, very loud, "metro-sexual this is not!"   The cool tones of the tungsten rings were balanced with the weight and masculine feel of the jewelry.  It also has a hip, urban appeal to it that conveys that downtown fashion that is understated, simply chic.  We both are ones for understated elegance and simplicity when it comes to just about everything, so it was not a surprise that the cool, clean lines of the tungsten carbide is what we were drawn to the most. 

I asked the salesman what the benefits were for tungsten carbide and how it compared to platinum.  He rambled through a list of positives such as the scratch resistant qualities and durability of the ring.  Because of its hardness of 8-9 on the Mohs scale, the alloy is nearly indestructible which is ideal for my manly man.  He also said that they don't bend and they maintain their shape and shine longer than any other ring on the market.  So, this was the start of my shopping journey.

I began researching more abouttungsten carbide and discovered that there are some very hot designs out there in the tungsten carbide mens jewelry market.  I was very excited to see a tungsten carbide bracelet that I've purchased for my fiancé for Christmas, that will go fabulously with his wedding band.  Even more satisfying, is the watch I will definitely be getting him for a wedding present.  Whether you're looking for hot and sexy gift to warm up the holidays or you want light up his smile on your honeymoon, tungsten carbide mens jewelry is sure to create some sparks between you.
