Wedding Ring Engraving Explained

Details: Category: Tungsten Jewelry News & Info; Published on Monday, 17 March 2014 15:41; Written by Cher; Hits: 2244

The process of engraving a wedding band is not a new thing. Most couples are fully aware that tungsten wedding bands, like any other metal, can be engraved. However, many couples do not seem to realize exactly where their wedding band may be engraved, let alone what can be engraved on that wedding band. Surprisingly to most couples, is that they will discover that there is a multitude of ways in which to engrave a ring.

There are two types of engraving methods, really. The more classic form of engraving is called traditional or etched engraving. Traditional or etched engraving is accomplished through the simplest form imaginable, the “old-fashioned” way: carving the engraving onto the surface of the ring. What this means is that your engraving is scratched onto the surface of the ring, much like a person would carve a sign or a symbol on a piece of wood. How this typically works is that a harder substance must be used to “scratch” (etch or carve) into the softer substance.

We know what must be streaming through your mind, “but I thought tungsten is scratch resistant and one of the hardest substances on the planet. How can I get my tungsten rings engraved?” While this is extremely true, it is important to note that tungsten carbide, while extremely hard is not the hardest substance on earth. The title of hardest substance on earth is reserved for diamonds. While also a girl’s best friend, diamonds are also the best friend of an engraver wishing to engrave anything onto a substance as hard as tungsten.

The other form of engraving, which is more modern, is known as laser engraving. Laser engraving is typically used for harder metals, such as tungsten carbide. Laser engravers basically burn the engraving onto the surface of the ring. This is done, electronically, through the use of software and a computer.

Whichever route you wish to go, an engraving can personalize a piece of jewelry even more than by simply choosing the piece of jewelry to fit your desires and styles. Laser and traditional forms of engraving will get the job done, it is more a matter of what it is that you want engraved.

What is the Process to Make Tungsten Rings

Details: Category: Tungsten Jewelry News & Info; Published on Monday, 17 March 2014 15:39; Written by Cher; Hits: 2344

Once you receive your tungsten carbide ring you ordered through your reputable online retailer, the tungsten in the ring has been through so many transformations in order to become the ring that will adorn your finger for a long, long time. What exactly did it go though to become your cherished ring?

As you may be aware, tungsten as we know it does not just appear out in the world in its present form. It must be extracted from the earth through mining procedures and is a very labor-intensive process. When the tungsten is initially discovered it is usually found as a mineral, scheelite or wolframite. Once the mineral is taken from the earth, the useful, metal portion must be extracted.

Today, when the tungsten ore is processed, the tungsten minerals are undergo a chemcila process similar to that used by the Spanish brothers and chemists Fausto and Juan Jose d’Elhuyar y de Suvisa during tungsten’s initial isolation, over 200 years ago, with a few tweaks.

The scheelite or wolframite mineral is crushed, before any chemical processing occurs. The crushed tungsten goes through a process called gravity concentration in order to refine the minerals. This process separates larger pieces of the mineral that may not have been crushed as well as needed from already workable ore. The larger pieces are then crushed more until they are workable. Once the pieces are workable, the ore goes through many methods to increase the concentration of tungsten ore, such as magnetic separation and roasting. Flotation is an interesting method also used, which entails mixing the crushed ore with chemicals and water in a flotation tank. Air is blown through the mix, carrying mineral-rich bubbles to the surface of the tank so that the mineral rich bubbles can be skimmed off the surface.

Once the ore has been crushed, it is then cleaned and treated in order to form tungsten trioxide. Once it is tungsten trioxide, using carbon as a reducing agent, the tungsten can be isolated. This isolation eventually creates the metallic mineral used later on to create the metallic tungsten. The metallic tungsten is then used by many producers to create a multitude of products ranging from the insides of a light bulb or parts used for space travel, to the elegant tungsten rings you are looking to purchase.

While there are lengthier discussions on the process of separating tungsten from its initial mineral stage to the final product, the method used to extract the metallic tungsten has remained virtually unchanged since it was first discovered.
