Tungsten rings are growing in popularity as more people become aware of the many benefits they offer. Envision a ring that always looked new, permanently polished and scratch free.
Tungsten rings are made from a unique process in which tungsten and carbide powder are forged together, creating a nearly indestructible ring. Men especially love tungsten rings, although women are learning to embrace them as well for their sleek look, durability and low maintenance traits. Tungsten rings truly offer the perfect combination of strength, style and comfort.
Unlike gold, platinum, silver, and even titanium rings, tungsten rings holds the brilliance and shine, looking freshly polished for years. Slightly heavier than other metals, tungsten rings provide a feeling of substance. A true tungsten ring is skillfully polished using diamond polishing tools and wheels, which creates a permanent luster and polish that is not seen with other metals. Nothing expresses an everlasting bond like tungsten rings. Holding claim to the most wear resistant rings available, tungsten rings are 10 times harder than 18k Gold and 5 times harder than steel.
There are many tungsten rings available today from a variety of designers and retailers. Many retailers claim to have quality tungsten rings, but you must make sure that you are getting true tungsten rings. Tungsten rings that don’t have carbide, tungsten only rings, is really nothing more than a steel ring. A true tungsten carbide rings, can only be scratched by a diamond or a product containing the mineral corundum. An easy way to tell, is if a ring has carved details, it is not a tungsten carbide ring. Another area of concern is tungsten rings containing cobalt. Cobalt can develop oxidation spots that cannot be removed or polished out and the ring can even cause a negative reaction with your skin.
