How to Clean a Tungsten Ring

Tungsten is a durable and shiny metal used to create wedding rings and wide designer bands. This hard metal is tarnish- and scratch-resistant and is typically polished with the same types of tools that are used to cut and polish diamonds. Tungsten jewelry is simple to clean, but this metal may react unfavorably when used with the wrong cleaning chemicals or methods.

Instructions
1.Buff away fingerprints using a soft, dry cloth. Tungsten retains its polish forever, so you will just need to smooth away oily fingerprints periodically using a soft, dry cloth.

2.Brush away scratches. If your tungsten ring appears scratched, do not worry. It is not. Tungsten is too hard to be susceptible to daily wear-and-tear like scratches. Instead, these "scratches" are small pieces of material that are now attached to the tungsten. You can remove them with warm water and gentle scrubbing with a soft toothbrush.

3.Add mild detergent to your cleaning arsenal. For extremely contrary "scratches," you can add a few drops of a mild detergent to a small bowl of warm water and use the toothbrush to scrub the ring in this solution. This will remove any difficult marks and scratches completely.

4.Dry the tungsten ring with a dry, soft cloth. If you allow the ring to air dry, you will end up with spots on your otherwise unmarred ring.

Characteristics of Tungsten Carbide Wedding Rings

What is tungsten exactly? Tungsten is a chemical element, also known as wolfram, and it has some pretty amazing properties. Out of all the metals, tungsten has the highest melting point and the highest tensile strength. It is extremely durable and somewhat rare.

But tungsten wedding bands are not made out of pure tungsten - instead they are made out of tungsten carbide. Pure tungsten is too difficult to work with, so tungsten that is used for industrial applications - and in jewelry - is compounded into its carbide form.

Tungsten carbide is created by combining an equal number of tungsten and carbon atoms. The result is a very fine powder which is then mixed with a binder - like nickel or cobalt - to create a compound which can be crafted into different shapes - like razor blades and wedding rings.

Tungsten carbide rings retain many of the characteristics of pure tungsten metal - including a high melting point and high tensile strength. The rings too are extremely resistant to scratching, and have a light gray color which can be darkened with brush finishing processes.

Tungsten carbide wedding bands have moderate heat and electrical conductivity properties - so if this is a concern for you, it might be best to go with a wooden wedding band or a stainless steel wedding ring (or remove the band when working in a capacity where electricity and heat pose a safety issue).

It is a common myth that tungsten carbide rings cannot be removed during an emergency - but they can be removed in the event of an emergency using regular jewelry removal tools.

Tungsten wedding bands are also somewhat heavy - just a touch heavier than 14k gold. 

Tungsten Carbide Rings

Tungsten Rings are a popular choice of ring especially with people who have jobs that require lots of 

hands on work, because of their high strength and durability. It is because of these properties along with their high scratch resistance, that Tungsten rings are rapidly becoming a sought after choice for wedding rings. 

Tungsten Carbide, one of the hardest materials available, the most scratch resistant of any metal.

On its own, tungsten is a very hard and dense metal, with the highest melting point of all metals - 6,100 degrees Fahrenheit. Alone, tungsten is vulnerable to scratches and damage just like any other metal, it gains its extreme hardness by being combined with a carbon alloy, transforming it into tungsten carbide. It is four times harder than titanium, twice as hard as steel and almost impossible to scratch. The resulting metal can be designed into tungsten carbide wedding band rings that are both visually stunning to please the eye, durable enough to withstand everyday use and hypo-allergenic. These rings will never loose their polish or tarnish. These rings can only be damaged through extreme measures, such as abrasion from diamonds or being struck with a hammer.

Why is Tungsten Jewelry More Expensive?

Why is tungsten jewelry more expensive than other specialty metals? In order to manufacture a perfectly crafted piece of tungsten magnum jewelry, it takes the skill and knowledge that only a handful of companies have mastered. It cannot be carved from a wax or simply machined from metal tubing. To make a ring that is virtually indestructible, tungsten is processed with carbon and ground into powder. The mixed metal powder is then compressed into high pressure molds, at extremely high temperatures, to form a ring (a new mold needs to be made for each finger size).The ring is then fired in an oxygen-free oven at an astounding 2400 degrees. The ring now has to be ground, cut and shaped using very expensive diamond tooling. This process is similar to the one used in cutting and polishing of rough diamonds. The result is a solid metal of extraordinary hardness and durability.
