Most tungsten steel rings are hypoallergenic, which means that there will be no health side effects from wearing the ring. However if there is another metal in the alloy of the ring, such as cobalt, there could be an allergic reaction. The skin will typically turn a greenish color, and the ring will begin to show signs of chemical change. This could also be dangerous because the finger could swell up inside the ring, making it necessary to cut it off. This is difficult to do with a tungsten steel ring. When purchasing one of these rings it's best to make sure that it's as pure as possible to avoid these side effects.

Tungsten rings cannot be re-sized under normal circumstances by any jeweler. Many jewelers offer lifetime warranties that cover rings that may need to be resized. In the case of tungsten rings, they must be replaced.

Re-sizing
Tungsten rings cannot be re-sized because of tungsten's physical properties. According to many jewelry sites, tungsten rings are 10 times harder than 18K gold and four times harder than titanium. Tungsten also has a very high melting temperature of 6170.0 degrees Fahrenheit.

Sizing Options
When it comes to tungsten rings, sizing options are limited. However, many jewelry stores offer re-sizing warranties that will cover the ring if one should need it to be sized. In the case of a tungsten ring, the purchaser must ship or return the ring to the store it was purchased and a new ring will be sent to him or her.

Benefits
Tungsten is a very hard metal. It will not bend like gold rings do. It is also difficult to scratch due to its physical properties. Due to the fact it is almost impossible to scratch, it holds its polish as well.

Considerations
Tungsten rings are more brittle than other metals because they are so hard. While the ring will not bend, this could cause the ring to shatter if it were struck.

Tungsten rings are often sold as an alloy with cobalt. Cobalt has properties that, when in contact with oils in skin, could permanently tarnish the ring.
