Tungsten Wedding Bands are getting very popular, so what is Tungsten Carbide and what make this material so good for wedding rings? Learn why Tungsten Carbide is perfect for your Wedding Band.

1. What is Tungsten Carbide?
• In short for those not big on details:
• Its the hardest known jewelry material
• Its affordable compared to gold
• Its maintenance free
• The above make it an awesome wedding band
material

2. Tungsten: Additional Interesting Details
Well, its this freakin awesome inorganic
chemical compound that is used to make all
kinds of awesome stuff, not just Wedding
Bands. Tungsten on its own it not suitable for
jewelry making so equal parts of tungsten and
carbon atoms are combined to create
Tungsten Carbide. Our manufacturer uses a
tungsten carbide which is mixed with a nickelchromium binder, making our rings cobalt
free.
Know that when you purchase a Tungsten
Carbide ring you will be wearing a material
which is also used to make super cool manly
things like armor piercing ammunition,
aerospace gadgets such as rocket engine
nozzles and most likely Thor’s hammer but we
can’t get anyone to verify that.

3. We aren’t just
saying its tough
Peeps have tested it and the more interesting results
against other jewelry making materials are this:
10 times harder than 18k gold
4 times harder than titanium
Equal hardness to natural sapphire
Only harder material on the Mohs Scale is diamond

4. As you can see diamonds are harder and it is diamond jewelry making tools that have
to be used to cut, style and craft the tungsten carbide rings. Normal jeweler's tools
won’t cut it and would most likely break if they came in contact with tungsten carbide
which is why there are specialist who work with this substance.

5. So what does all this mean for you
?
The extreme hardness of the tungsten carbide creates a high resistance to scratching.
This means it is resistant to typical wear and tear but its not scratching proof. Harder
non-metallic materials like diamonds, sapphire and hard crystals can scratch it. We
don’t suggest that you fight the Green Goblin with the ring on as we aren’t sure of the
chemical compounds he’s made up from. For all those gents out there that have high
labor jobs like plumbers, mechanics and builders etc; tungsten carbide rings will
remain ‘like new’ even for you.
Tungsten Carbide rings are engineered to be maintenance free. They don’t need
expensive jewelry cleaning products or getting sent off for re-plating. Yeah, more of
that less work/extra effort stuff removed for you. Our manufacturer uses a tungsten
carbide which is mixed with a nickel-chromium binder, making them cobalt free. In
short our rings are hypoallergenic.
