The best jewelry is enduring as well as beautiful. Even if it is chosen because of the style of the design and the sparkle of the gemstones, the owner hopes that it is well made and will survive years of wear. This is especially true of wedding and engagement rings and watches which are worn day in and day out, but it is important in other types of jewelry as well.

Tungsten is becoming more popular for use in jewelry because it is both beautiful and strong. The beauty comes in the dark tone of the metal and the high shine of the polish it acquires. It is attractive on its own, but when inlaid with other metals or set with sparkling stones, it can create a stunning piece. While much tungsten jewelry is black or dark, it also comes in two tone variants that are striking.

Perhaps the most compelling feature of tungsten rings and jewelry is their durability. Ten times stronger than gold, tungsten carbide is virtually scratch resistant and will resist other damage as well. This makes it especially suited for mens jewelry. And wearers do not need to fear the urban legends about tungsten being indestructible. Hospitals and jewelers do have saws that can cut through tungsten in case of emergency.

Getting married in a place as exciting and vivacious as Singapore is an auspicious beginning, and reflects a marvelous cosmopolitan taste and sensibility.  As a city-state that has a fascinating history as one of the major trading ports along the spice route, there is a long tradition here for new beginnings as well as celebrations from many different traditions.  The lure of the exotic is very high here, with its gorgeous tropical weather and local culture that basks in the potential for strong visual appeal.  There seems to be a sixth sense for art here, and it’s not just in the fashions on the street, but seems to be in the air itself.  Your Singapore wedding is a splendid event, and it will be simply stunning here.

Singapore is a fantastic blend of cultures, with influences from the Malay, Indian, and Chinese traditions most prominent here, but there’s an openness to the culture that seems to soak in all the cultures that pass through.  This spirit is a splendid way to accompany the blending of two families in a new, romantic union.  It is a place that seems destined for romance, and you can see this romantic tradition reflected in the art.

Looking at movements and definitions, romanticism is an art form that values the inner life of the individual, and worked against a scientific definition of nature, valuing the wild and the unknown.  These traits are certainly prominent in a lot of the art work you’ll see in Singapore, and can work these traits into your wedding theme, to really merge styles together.  The prevailing style here is more likely a kind of evolving postmodernism, which merges movements with ease, so the sky’s really the limit.  One of the wonderful things about a city-state as cosmopolitan as Singapore is that you’ll have the opportunity to plan your wedding with designers and artists who are intelligent and knowledgeable about how to make a vision a splendid reality.
