When Love Needs a Temporary Ring — A Wedding Story from Maralkunst

A couple recently walked into the Maralkunst gallery with a simple but meaningful request.

They were looking for temporary wedding bands—something strong, elegant, and symbolic to wear now, while planning their forever rings later.

Like many couples, they wanted the moment to feel right.

Finding the Perfect Fit — Together

We began with what matters most: comfort and fit.

• He chose a 5 mm width, size 10

• She chose a 4 mm width, size 7

Trying rings together, comparing widths, and feeling how they sit on the hand is part of the experience I love offering at Maralkunst. A ring should feel natural—like it belongs to you.

To make the rings truly theirs, we engraved their names inside each band.

A quiet detail. A personal promise.

 

Why Tungsten? Strength with Meaning

These rings were made of tungsten, a material many couples are drawn to for good reason.

What is tungsten?

Tungsten is one of the strongest and most durable metals used in jewelry today.

• Extremely scratch-resistant

• Keeps its shape and polish over time

• Heavier than stainless steel, giving it a solid, premium feel

• Ideal for daily wear and active lifestyles

Compared to stainless steel, tungsten is:

• Harder

• More resistant to visible wear

• Less likely to lose its finish over time

This makes tungsten a beautiful choice for temporary wedding bands, travel rings, or even long-term everyday rings.

More Than Rings — A Custom Journey

While these tungsten bands were a temporary solution, many couples later return to Maralkunst for their custom engagement or wedding rings.

I offer:

• Custom rings in gold, silver, gemstones, vintage pieces, and alternative materials

• One-on-one personal consultation

• Guidance on stone choice, symbolism, durability, and budget

• Rings made to reflect your story, not a catalog

Every couple is different. Every ring should be too.
