Have you been looking into choosing tungsten for your wedding band? Well, if you are, then you might wish to take a look at this demonstration video.

The  video illustrates that precious metals will indeed bend. Therefore, should you need you ring resized down the road, then this can be accomplished. And let’s face it – most Americans tend to gain or lose weight over their lifetime, and some may fluctuate quite a bit. So if you like to remove your wedding band but gain a few pounds over time, a precious metal wedding band can be adjusted. And precious metals can be refinished to look close to new as well.

Tungsten can not bend, although it can shatter. You can not size your tungsten wedding band. This is such a shame due to the fact that history shows that trends change quite a bit in the jewelry industry, and the manufacturer of the tungsten wedding band that you purchased may or may not be around in five or ten years. The same goes for any online wedding band website that may have sold you the ring. You should ask yourself a simple question – who will honor their exchange policy (if they have one) should I need a new tungsten wedding band in the future?

Wedding bands are symbolic of love that should last forever. And shouldn’t you be able to keep that original symbol of your love on your finger forever? A lot of consumers choose to upgrade their wedding bands over time, but many decide to keep their original wedding band on their hand for as long as possible. So protect your wedding band investment, and perhaps choose one created with a precious metal. After all, love is precious, and so should wedding band.

If price is really an issue during this tough economic time, then you may wish to consider palladium for your wedding band. Palladium is a naturally white metal that currently costs much less than white gold. While platinum is the premium metal for jewelry, palladium is a strong choice if platinum is not an option.

Should the relative price point of a tungsten wedding band be attractive, then why not consider Argentium Sterling Silver? Argentium Sterling Silver is easy to care for and does not tarnish easily. It is an attractive – if not somewhat new – option for your wedding band when looking for something that costs even less than palladium, but might be priced similar to the tungsten wedding bands seen on many popular websites (starting at $149.00). Spending a little more now is definitely beneficial over the long haul.

Marc Keslow's New Life - all earnings will be donated to help pediatric leukemia research.

As they say during this time of year – “ ‘tis the season.” ‘Tis the season for caring. ‘Tis the season for hope. ‘Tis the season for spreading love and joy to others. ‘Tis the season to be jolly. And also – ‘tis the season to help the less fortunate if we can.

American wedding band manufacturer Novell has always been happy to help raise awareness for those in need. So far, Novell has highlighted Yankee Manager Joe Giradi’s fight against Xeroderma Pigmentosum and Artistic Academy making strides against breast cancer with their participation in a walk-a-thon (both items were featured in the Novell News section). And today, Novell received an e-mail from singer/songwriter Marc Keslow.

Marc has just released a CD of new rock music that just has a fantastic organic – if not mellow – vibe. New Life is great for a late night listen or when trying to wind down after a long day. But most importantly, 100% of this album’s earnings will be donated to Sloan-Kettering Hospital in NYC. Rather than try to summarize Marc’s words, here is what he wrote in an e-mail promoting New Life:

“…100 percent of my proceeds from the sale of all New Life CDs and downloads will be donated to Sloan-Kettering Hospital in NYC. Cassidy Pagen, daughter of my close friends Matt and Katie Pagen, was diagnosed with leukemia a few years ago, and Sloan-Kettering is where she was treated. The money will go specifically toward the hospital’s pediatric leukemia research in honor of Cassidy. I am very happy to report that her treatments concluded this past August and she is doing very well now.”

“New Life is available for purchase at Cdbaby.com or can be downloaded from iTunes, digstation.com, and other music download websites. Visit www.keslowmusic.com for more information.”

Please take the time to give a listen to New Life’s music samples. And better yet – consider making a purchase which will only help pediatric leukemia research. Why? Because as was stated before – ‘tis the season!

Bottom line – Novell gives New Life 5 stars!

Happy Holidays to all.
