Imagine a ring that will not scratch and always looks brand new!

That ring is a Tungsten Carbide Ring.

Tungsten carbide is the newest metal used for wedding bands and with good reason.

Tungsten alone is a very dense and brittle metal, but when combined with a carbon alloy it becomes Tungsten carbide which is the strongest metal known to man.

Tungsten, like gold, silver, and platinum is atomic number 74 and has the highest melting point of 6,700 degrees Fahrenheit for an alloy so very few companies have the knowledge and facilities to produce Tungsten wedding bands

The process involves up to 40 steps including taking tungsten powder and carbon then compressing it into molds and firing it at extremely high temperatures to make a blank ring. The ring is then heated in an oxygen-free oven to 2,400 degrees. Then the ring is then ground, cut, and polished using expensive diamond tooling.

With a hardness between 8 and 9 on the Mohs hardness scale (diamonds are a 10 while silver is a 3), Tungsten carbide is 10 times harder than 18K gold, 5 times harder than tool steel, and 4 times harder than titanium.

Tungsten rings hold their shape better than any other type of ring and are easy to clean. All you need is a damp cloth and with one swipe your Tungsten wedding band will look new like the day you bought it.
