Choosing a wedding band for a mechanic to wear can be challenging, depending on the work and safety standards at company. Mechanics normally work with their hands and wearing any type of band may be prohibited because of the possibility of the ring getting caught. Rings for mechanics should be constructed of tough, dent-resistant materials.
Titanium
Titanium rings are up to 45 percent stronger than steel. They are also lightweight, making them extremely durable. Besides the tough material, they are inexpensive and and easy to accommodate various gemstones such as rubies and diamonds. Titanium is hypoallergenic, therefore, will not cause an allergic reaction to the skin. They are also corrosion-resistant and can withstand sea water and some acids. In the event of an emergency, they can be cut off.
Platinum
Platinum rings are sturdy, very strong and tarnish-free. They are typically alloyed with another material such as palladium, iridium or ruthenium to increase strength. Platinum is more expensive because of the rare, high-quality materials. These rings can have gemstones implanted in them or feature a metal design. They are easy to clean and will keep their white-silver color forever.
Gold
There are two different types of gold wedding bands -- yellow gold and white gold. Both types are combined with alloys and measured in karats. Yellow gold rings are usually alloyed with copper, zinc or silver. The lower the karat rating, the stronger the ring will be. White gold rings are normally alloyed with gold, silver or palladium and coated with rhodium for added shine. Both types of gold can be sized and removed easily.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel rings are durable and hypoallergenic. They are made of iron and carbon and alloyed with different metals. They are resistant to rust, tarnish and corrosion and can be sized easily. The rings can be easily removed in an emergency, however, they may lose their luster over time and have to be buffed out.
