Tungsten Rings

Tungsten rings have grown in popularity among men and women, and when you look at their features, it’s no wonder why. Made of tungsten carbide, the same substance used to make cutting tools, ammunition, nuclear reflectors and trekking poles, these rings are very tough, and incredibly difficult to damage. For this reason, these silver rings are the perfect choice for wedding, engagement or even just-because jewelry.

A Tungsten ring in a plain ring style is the perfect choice for men who prefer the minimalist look, or for those who don’t want to coordinate their wardrobe around the ring. Opt for a thick band, and only subtle details occasional stripes or panels add interest without being too overbearing. The overall look should be simple and elegant, making the ring perfect for wearing at work and play.

For something more striking, opt for a jeweled ring. Triton designs vary, from rings with six or seven small crystals in a row to two or three bigger crystals, or even one solitary crystal in a bright silver band. Black stripes around the ring can add a more masculine feel to the ring, and these colored rings look great worn with suits or denim.

For men who prefer more understated jewellery, opt for a black ring. A Triton black ring, with a matte black band around the middle, is easy to coordinate and stylish enough to wear all the time. The band is thin without being too feminine, making the ring a perfect choice for men who prefer that minimalist look.

Tungsten vs Gold in Men’s Jewelry

Men’s gold jewelry look worn out after a couple of years of continuous use, while the mirror finish of tungsten jewelry will usually last a lifetime. Tungsten is ten times harder than gold and hence, unlike gold it will never change its form or shape over years. Over a period of time, gold jewelry need to be “reshaped”, while the shape of tungsten jewelry remains unchanged forever. People who are allergic to gold or platinum can easily wear tungsten without any problem. When compared to men’s gold jewelry, men’s tungsten jewelry are cheaper. A plain tungsten ring would begin at a price of about $50 while the same ring in gold could easily start at $300 - $400. Gold prices fluctuate while the tungsten price remains more or less the same.

How are Tungsten Rings Made?

Tungsten with carbon and other elements are ground into a powder and then compressed with
high pressure dies to form a ring blank.
The blank is then fired in an oxygen free furnace at an astounding 6,200 degrees Fahrenheit. (That is HOT!) This process called sintering creates the hardest metal used for making jewelry.
The ring is then cut and shaped using diamond tools with approximately 30 steps required for 
completion. The cutting and shaping of a tungsten ring is similar in many ways to the cutting andpolishing of a rough diamond.
Tungsten rings inlaid with gold, silver, platinum or mokume gane are created by grinding a 
channel in the center of the ring and precisely "swedging" the metal into the channel under 
extreme pressure.
The ring is then skillfully polished with diamond polishing tools and wheels creating a 
permanent luster and polish not possible with other metals.
A Tungsten Carbide ring will remain polished forever, and is scratch resistant. It is a unique
material that epitomizes today's man more than any other.

Hard Facts About Tungsten Carbide Rings

Tungsten rings are the most wear resistant rings available on the planet.
Tungsten is about 10 times harder than 18K Gold, 5 times harder than tool steel, and 4 times
harder than titanium.
Tungsten measures between 8 and 9 on the Mohs hardness scale. (Diamonds are a 10 - the 
highest.)
Due to their extreme hardness, Tungsten Rings will hold their shape and shine longer than 
any ring on the market.
A ring of Tungsten will NOT bend.
To achieve the incredible polish, diamond abrasives and poly crystalline diamond tools are  
used on each ring.
Our Tungsten Rings are cobalt free. That's a big deal.

How Are Tungsten Carbide Rings Made?

Tungsten and carbon are ground up into a powder first then pressed with high pressure dies or molds.  Then they are fired or baked if you will in an oxygen-free furnace at about 6000 degrees Fahrenheit. This is called sintered and forms a ring blank of the hardest metal.

Once the ring blank is made, it can then be individually hand cut and polished using a variety of poly crystalline diamond tools and diamond abrasives. To cut and polish a tungsten carbide ring you have to have something stronger then the tungsten and diamonds are about the only thing stronger. There are still about 30 different steps in the process to get it right. It is all very close to how diamonds themselves are cut and polished.  This leaves a tungsten carbide wedding band with a polish and shine that will never fade therefore looking new forever, longer then the eternal love of the couple wearing it.

Titanium can be re-sized, however, it is a very difficult and more expensive process. Tungsten ring on the other hand, is impossible to re-size as it is too hard metal. Therefore, choosing the proper ring size is very important. A good idea is to get a ring seizer for an accurate measurement of your size. It is recommended that you take several measurements at different times and average out what size your finger is, as it will vary slightly for some people throughout the course of the day.

Tungsten Carbide Ring Advantages

Gold, platinum, stainless steel, titanium and tungsten carbide are some of the most popular materials used to create wedding bands. Tungsten carbide, a synthetic material, is one of the world's hardest materials. There are many advantages that tungsten carbide rings offer over rings made out of other materials. Tungsten carbide is formed when certain levels of carbon and tungsten are combined. Tungsten carbide rings can be associated with higher price tags simply because of high production costs. Tungsten carbide must be heated to temperatures exceeding 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit to be able to form the metal into ring form.

Difference Between Tungsten Rings & Stainless Steel Rings

Tungsten rings and stainless steel rings are both cost-effective alternatives to the more expensive gold and platinum selections. However, there are differences between them to keep in mind depending on your needs and budget.

Durability
Tungsten and stainless steel rings both resist fading, rust and corrosion. Neither metal will stain the body. Tungsten is a much heavier metal than stainless steel, and is therefore stronger and harder to scratch. However, stainless steel is durable enough to hold up to daily wear with proper care.

Style and Finish
Both types of rings can be given a variety of styles and finishes. Due to its superior strength, a tungsten ring's polish and finish will outlast that of a stainless steel ring.

Sizing Options
Neither type of ring can be resized. Tungsten rings are readily available in most sizes, even in hard-to-find half sizes. It can be more difficult to find the right size in the desired style of stainless steel ring.

Financial Considerations
Costs for both types of rings can vary widely, but stainless steel is less expensive. A 2010 search on Amazon.com found an 8mm flat band tungsten ring for $29.95 and a comparable sterling silver ring for $5.22. At the national jewelry retailer Zales, a sterling ring went for $119, and a comparable tungsten ring was just under $280.

Conclusion
While a tungsten ring is the better choice if you need a virtually indestructible band, stainless steel is a more economical option that will still last.

Properties of Tungsten Carbide Ring and Titanium Ring

Titanium and tungsten carbide are materials that are used in the fabrication of wedding rings. There are benefits and considerations linked with both types of ring materials. Consider all aspects before making a purchase.

Properties
Both materials used in the construction of rings are very hard, but tungsten carbide is harder; only a diamond can scratch a tungsten carbide ring. In terms of weight, titanium is 43 percent lighter than stainless steel, while tungsten carbide is 90 percent heavier, according to Titanium Kay.

Cost
A tungsten carbide ring will cost more than a titanium ring, due to high production costs. Tungsten carbide can only be manipulated to form rings in temperatures exceeding 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

Facts
Tungsten carbide is much less ductile than titanium. Under excessive pressure, a tungsten carbide ring will fracture or shatter into several pieces, whereas a titanium ring will bend. Some people may experience allergic reactions while wearing tungsten carbide rings. New Jersey's Department of Health & Senior Services claims that exposure to tungsten carbide can cause lung problems.




Hardness of Tungsten Carbide Ring and Titanium Ring

Both tungsten carbide and titanium are harder than gold, silver and platinum. This is because the alloys used in both metals offer strength to these metals that under most circumstances are virtually indestructible. If jewelry made from tungsten carbide and titanium were placed under extremely abrasive conditions, such as the cut of a diamond, a tungsten carbide ring would prove stronger than the titanium.
