Titanium rings has long been sought after because of its
long-lasting quality as wedding bands, but recently, tungsten has taken
that further into a whole new level where it is considered to be the
strongest metal available in todays jewelry market. There is a huge
trend recently on the usage of tungsten rings as wedding bands due to
its unique quality.
Tungsten is forged with carbon (carbide) at extremely high
temperatures way past 2000 degrees. The result from this process is
rings (tungsten carbide rings) that are scratch and dent resistant.
In case you are wondering how hard tungsten is, let us use
other metals as a comparison. Tungsten metal is 10 times harder than
18k gold and 4 times harder than titanium.
These rings will continue to look the same as the day they
were purchased no matter how much abuse they take. Tungsten Carbide
rings are the only ones in the market that can boast this feature. A
Tungsten ring price can range between double and triple digits. The
range is huge because there are some lower qualities rings that are
mixed with cobalt, which is a metal that can cause negative reaction
when in contact with skin. It is imperative to ask the jeweler whether
the tungsten ring contains any cobalt properties before buying it.
The only problem with these rings is resizing, as it is very
difficult to resize a tungsten ring. They can usually only be resized
for a high cost which can range anywhere from $50 to $100. Please do
ensure you get them in the correct sizes before buying them.
