Tungsten Carbide Rings

Tungsten Carbide is a new age metal that is being used by jewelers all around the world today. It is unique, scratch free, and is used to fabricate trendy tungsten bracelets and rings.

Why Tungsten Carbide? What’s so special about this metal?
While there are other metals out there such as titanium to create titanium rings, and titanium bracelets, tungsten has received an astronomical rise in popularity. Tungsten carbide is an inorganic chemical compound fused with equal parts of tungsten and carbon atoms. It is now bound together with nickel as to cobalt in the past. It has a melting point of 5,220 F (2,870 F) and ranks at an 8.5-9.0 on the Mohs hardness scale.

What do we know so far? Its strength is nearly indestructible and can withstand tough temperatures beyond our imagination, but how does a men's tungsten carbide ring look?

When tungsten carbide is used to create wedding bands, the bands appear with a glistening dark hue often high polished to a mirror like finish for years to come. The finish is virtually scratch resistant and can withstand heavy amounts of usage. You don't have to be afraid of the grave consequences of accidentally dropping your ring. Thus the durability of tungsten jewelry is far superior to gold jewelry as gold is easily scratched. In between the highly scratch resistant tungsten parts, many jewelers are now able to inlay precious metals, woods, and other materials into tungsten carbide rings for a contemporary look.

In a sense, a tungsten carbide wedding band will last an eternity and may explain the reason why the recent rise in the popularity of this metal. Although it may be not as valuable as gold and silver in the open market, and not as cheap as stainless steel rings, a tungsten ring is very fashionable and relatively cheap.
