The black plating can not be put on prior to the inlay as the carbon fiber inlay has a clear protective layer on it which must be polished. This polishing will wear away the black plating. Also the plating can not be done after the inlay is placed as the coating over the carbon fiber would not be able to withstand the heat during the plating process. I have not seen a brushed version of this ring in either plated or non plated tungsten. The main difference between tungsten and ceramic is weight. Ceramic is light while tungsten carbide is quite heavy. Outside of that both materials are very durable and are used in a variety jewelry applications such as rings, bracelets, and watches.

I can't ssem to find the black on black anywhere-brushed or not. Do you have any suggestions? I found a ceramic one-are there any major differences between the tungsten and ceramic?

Although I prefer a precious metal for my wedding band and jewelry in general, I see why these alternative metals like tungsten, titanium and stainless steel have caught on.
