Tungsten with carbon and other elements are ground into a powder and then compressed with
high pressure dies to form a ring blank.
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.
