You may know a few things about tungsten bands. Undoubtedly, you have heard that tungsten carbide rings have become the metal of choice for grooms throughout the nation. One of the main reasons this is so is due to its toughness. They resist scratching much better than any other metal out there. Few substances can scratch it. Diamonds are one of them. What some may find odd or shocking is that tungsten rings are not indestructible. Tungsten carbide rings can break! If a tungsten ring is dropped on a hard surface, it can break or crack.

Mens Tungsten Wedding Bands

There are many misconceptions and falsehoods about tungsten rings. Learn the truth about these durable, beautiful bands.

The truth of the matter is that there are a lot of falsehoods about tungsten carbide rings. Since they're newer to the market, many people are unfamiliar with tungsten carbide.

Many jewelers would like to dissuade you from considering a tungsten carbide ring, because they are not educated on them (or just don't sell them!). Here are a few of the myths we hear regularly and the truths about tungsten carbide rings that make them an excellent option.

Myth

Tungsten carbide rings cannot be removed in the event of an accident, and may cause your finger to be amputated.

Fact

Actually, if you're in an accident, a tungsten carbide ring is one of the safest rings to have on your hand! Because tungsten carbide rings are so dense, it is nearly impossible for them to deform or injure your finger in an accident. Wearing a tungsten carbide ring may even protect you. Rings made of silver, gold or even platinum may deform, becoming harder to get off or embedding in flesh. Hospitals have a number of ways to remove a tungsten carbide ring (depending on the accident) – none of which require amputation.

The durability and near-indestructability of tungsten carbide bands is why we say that if Superman were getting married, he'd want a Tungsten Pride wedding band.

Myth

Tungsten carbide rings should not contain nickel.

Fact

In truth, tungsten carbide wedding rings are not made from pure tungsten. Pure tungsten in its natural form is an ore, and does not polish up to the shine that people love about tungsten carbide rings. Makers of tungsten carbide rings need to combine tungsten ore in a powder form with various binders and sinter it all together at very high temperatures in order to achieve the desired result – a beautiful, polished and nearly indestructible tungsten carbide ring.

A nickel binder is the preferred formulation for tungsten carbide rings, as many other binders can cause your ring to discolor with wear. Many inexpensive rings use one of these lesser binders, and aren't pleasant to wear or look at!

Myth

Tungsten rings are only for men.

Fact

This couldn't be further from the truth! The same qualities that make tungsten carbide rings so great for men make them great for women as well. The strength and beauty of tungsten carbide matches well to a woman's own strength and beauty.

Shoppers looking to save on the perfect Valentine’s Day gift are in luck: JustMensRings.com (JMR) has just commenced its annual Valentine’s Day Sale. With hundreds of deeply discounted styles now on offer, there is truly something for everyone: men’s wedding bands for the recently engaged, anniversary rings for husbands, men’s love and sweetheart rings for long-term couples and jewelry for men for newer romances.

Valentine’s Day is little more than a month away, and savvy shoppers are already stocking up on their favorite designs to avoid any last minute rush in February. Everyday low pricing is nothing new at JMR, but the Valentine’s Day Sale has further reduced pricing on over 600 styles of designer men’s rings, wedding bands and jewelry, for price tags that are well below wholesale. For the first time ever on the JustMensRings site, all sale items also enjoy free shipping across the United States.

One of the most popular items in the Valentine’s Sale section has proven to be men’s love and sweetheart rings. Often engraved with romantic words or phrases like “forever love,” “only love you” or “my one and only,” these decidedly romantic bands make for great pre-engagement rings and promise rings. Claddagh rings, a form of Celtic jewelry that feature an instantly recognizable motif of two hands clasping a crowned heart, are also a sought after sweetheart ring for new and old romances alike.

Of course, men’s wedding rings are also one of the primary picks for customers shopping the JMR Valentine’s Day Sale. For couples who became engaged over the holiday season, Valentine’s Day is often an ideal time for brides to present their husbands-to-be with their wedding bands. JustMensRings carries the U.S.-based designer brand Benchmark exclusively, and there are a significant number of Benchmark styles on sale to choose from, including men’s rings in precious metals like gold, platinum and palladium, diamond rings, and bands in affordable contemporary materials like titanium, tungsten, cobalt chrome, Argentium silver and ceramic (Seranite). For the more budget-conscious, there are plenty of affordable men’s rings and jewelry items to choose from as well, with many styles starting under $20.

“While the focus is generally on women on Valentine’s Day, men also love getting romantic gifts,” notes JustMensRings’ president and owner Roy Devine. “JMR’s Valentine’s Sale section is meant to take the guesswork out of finding the perfect Valentine’s gift for him.”

By now, most people have become aware of tungsten rings. They know tungsten rings and tungsten wedding bands for their extreme scratch resistance, durability and unique designer-style, and that they have become the best option for men and women looking for a ring or wedding band tough enough for every day wear.

But while tungsten rings are now commonplace in wedding ceremonies all over the world, people are still asking, “what is the difference between tungsten and tungsten carbide?”

    The Story Behind Tungsten:

    Tungsten- Chemical Symbol is W and Atomic Number is 74
    also known as: Wolfram
    First identified in 1781 by Carl Wilhelm Scheele
    Tungsten literally means "heavy stone"

Here at Tungsten World, a difference between tungsten carbide vs. tungsten rings does exist.

Essentially, the main differentiation between tungsten vs. tungsten carbide is the fact that one is an element and the other an alloy. Tungsten is element 74 on the periodic table and is known for its dark-grey color, high density and hardness. However, tungsten is difficult to work with in its elemental state.

Enter tungsten carbide.

Tungsten carbide is analloy of elements including tungsten, nickel, tantalum, niobium, titanium and chromium. High quality tungsten carbide, like that used in our Tungsten Forever™ tungsten rings, is composed with a large percentage of tungsten, giving the alloy the inherent hardness and dark-grey color tungsten implies. By adding the other trace metals, the benefits of tungsten are maximized, and the resulting metal is able to be better worked into the many unique styles.

whether you want to call them tungsten rings vs. tungsten carbide rings, if you’re shopping with Tungsten World you’ll be getting the very best tungsten carbide products on the planet!
