Jewelry Designer Spotlight on SK Cobalt
SK Cobalt Wedding Band for Men
SK Cobalt Wedding Band for Men
Scott Kay is no fan of tungsten carbide wedding bands for men. To Kay, the concept that wedding bands manufactured of this material are indestructible is a misnomer. In a YouTube video, Kay denounces the use of the metal alloy in wedding bands for two significant reasons. First, the alloy may contain small voids which can lead to cracks or breaking when jewelry is dropped. Once broken, a ring cannot be fixed and must be completely replaced. Secondly, tungsten carbide jewelry cannot be altered. Meaning? If the groom gains weight, the ring cannot be adjusted; it must be replaced. Kay argues that tungsten carbide is fine for fashion jewelry that is worn occasionally, but not for a wedding band that is meant to be worn daily for a lifetime.
Scott Kay has introduced his SK Cobalt line as an alternative to tungsten carbide wedding bands. Formed from BioBlu27, this alloy consists primarily of cobalt and chromium. The resulting alloy is four times harder than platinum, durable, scratch-resistant, solid, and unbreakable. It’s corrosion resistant, doesn’t tarnish, has a polishable, mirror-like shine and is naturally white. The material is so hypoallergenic, it’s used in medial devices for joint replacement. These stellar traits make BioBlu27 ideal for a tough guy’s wedding band. Scott Kay is known for creating beautiful wedding bands with simplicity and sophistication that are engineered to last a lifetime. His SK Cobalt line is no different.
