Question:

new ceramic rings: if i buy a black ceramic wedding band, will it be solid black (to the center)?

through yahoo answers, i found out that there are no black metals in existence. even a black tungsten or titanium ring will eventually fade and tarnish. i‘ve already bought him a steel band with a blackened finish, but that‘s exactly what it turned out to be.just a finish. it‘s already beginning to fade!! (yeah, we‘re already wearing our bands! we just couldn‘t wait!!) i‘m hoping, maybe, if i buy a black ceramic wedding band with a shiny finish.it will stay that way!! we‘re getting married april 4th and hoping to give my wonderful, soon to be husband, the wedding band he deserves! thanks so much for your answers!!soon to be ricks wife, lt;3 shonda : )

Answer:

Yes, the ceramic itself is black. It is not a coating so it will stay black. The problem comes with if it will stay shiny. And yes, you're fine there too. Ceramics are quite tough and are not easy to scratch.
My husband has a black ceramic ring. My ring is black, and simple ( I didn't want anything fancy) and my husband works with oil and all kinds of other grease and ink and god knows what else. (Air Force) He originally had a black titanium ring, but it started to tarnish and fade. We got him a ceramic ring, and it stayed black. It is easy to wipe off, it is amazing. However, it does knick like porcelain kind of if he hits something the wrong way. so he will have to be careful. Other than that, it is a wonderful ring, that actually stays black and doesnt fade.
