Can Tungsten Rings Ever Scratch?

Tungsten rings are durable enough for every-day use and keep their original polish and luster for life.  Tungsten carbide can only be scratched or damaged by extreme measures, like abrasion from diamonds or corundum. Consequently, activities that would normally require the removal of conventional wedding bands for their protection can be performed without concern by the wearer of a tungsten carbide wedding band. While extremely strong and scratch-resistant, tungsten carbide is a bit more brittle than traditional metals used in wedding bands.

Please note:  Some of the most popular designs combine precious metals with tungsten to create unique wedding band styles.  Many of these designer styles feature inlays of sterling silver, platinum, palladium, rose gold, white gold, and yellow gold.  The tungsten portion of these wedding bands 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.
