The Amazing Variety of Tungsten Rings
Many jewelers offer pure tungsten wedding bands which lack the hardness of tungsten carbide and can scratch quite easily. Some offer tungsten rings made with cobalt binder because it is cheaper to produce than nickel-binder carbide. We caution you against buying from a jeweler that doesn’t specify that their tungsten wedding bands are made with the nickel binder alloy.
The Claddagh ring is most commonly used as a promise ring which symbolizes a couple will eventually unite in marriage. The Celtic Love Knot ring is also a popular ring which symbolizes two bonded lovers. This beautiful notion is ideal for a wedding band or couples ring since the two that unite in marriage our bound together for an eternity. Others Celtic ring symbols include the Celtic Oval, which is the most basic form symbolizing eternity and continuity of life.
Inlay tungsten rings combine traditional precious metals with tungsten carbide to create a unique piece of jewelry with a style, polish, and texture that will last a lifetime. Our favorite jeweler offers tungsten carbide wedding bands with precious metal inlays of 14kt white gold and 14kt yellow gold. The tungsten carbide portion of the ring will maintain its original polish and luster for life, while the softer inlaid precious metals will eventually develop a textured appearance over time, creating an attractive contrast against the lasting polish of the tungsten carbide.
Tungsten rings are composed of a metal alloy, tungsten carbide. The alloy allows for maximum hardness and rigidity without sacrificing tensile strength. Tungsten rings are not sizable by ordinary jewelers’ tools (the metal is too hard). Tungsten rings will NOT bend. Due to their extreme hardness, Tungsten Rings will hold their shape and shine longer than any ring on the market, and which is why they are referred to as the “Permanently Polished Rings”. Tungsten Rings are the most wear resistant rings available. Hardness, assuring long lasting beauty. Permanently polished Tungsten rings take a brilliant high polish and resist scratching longer than any metal ever offered to the public.
Those who sell Tungsten rings (not Tungsten Carbide) have mistaken their quality of composition. Tungsten requires the carbide to make its hardness scratchproof. Ordinary Tungsten rings not only shatter and crack, but they have a tendency to scratch. Tungsten Carbide rings are the only scratchproof ring, and they are primarily scratchproof due to the carbide and nickel composition. The only way to place a scratch on a tungsten carbide ring is to scratch it with a diamond or a product containing the mineral corundum.
