Tungsten rings are much more durable ring options than gold and silver, keeping their scratch-free and shiny appearance for the life of the ring. It is a modern and popular option for wedding bands, symbolizing love that does not erode over time.

History
While Tungsten Carbide has been used in tools since developed in Germany in 1922, Tungsten rings have become popular additions to the jewelry industry only recently. Its primary application remains in the mechanical industry, although it gaining popularity as durable and attractive jewelry.

Features
Tungsten is a hard and dense metal that is mined from Wolframite ore. It has the highest melting point of all metals at 6,100 degrees F and is very hard when combined with a carbon alloy.

Significance
According to Tungsten World, tungsten rings make popular men's wedding rings. They can be plain and smooth, faceted, or inlaid with a band of gold.

Considerations
Tungsten is so hard when bonded with carbon that, according to Eternal Tungsten, the military uses tungsten for armor piercing ammunition. Tungsten World reports that tungsten is 10 times harder than gold, 4 times harder than titanium, and measures between 8 and 9 on the Mohs hardness scale.

Tungsten rings are durable enough for every-day use and keep their original polish and luster for life.  Tungsten carbide can only be scratched or damaged by extreme measures, like abrasion from diamonds or corundum. Consequently, activities that would normally require the removal of conventional wedding bands for their protection can be performed without concern by the wearer of a tungsten carbide wedding band. While extremely strong and scratch-resistant, tungsten carbide is a bit more brittle than traditional metals used in wedding bands.

Please note:  Some of the most popular designs combine precious metals with tungsten to create unique wedding band styles.  Many of these designer styles feature inlays of sterling silver, platinum, palladium, rose gold, white gold, and yellow gold.  The tungsten portion of these wedding bands will maintain its original polish and luster for life, while the softer inlaid precious metals will eventually develop a textured appearance over time, creating an attractive contrast against the lasting polish of the tungsten carbide.

In any situation where there might be a medical necessity to cut off or remove a tungsten ring--for instance excessive weight gain, hand injury, etc.--removing a tungsten ring doesn’t pose much more of a challenge than cutting through a gold or platinum wedding band.. In addition, tungsten bands can be fractured into pieces using vise-grip pliers.  When we contacted our local hospital emergency room and asked if they were equipped to remove tungsten wedding bands in an emergency, they told us that most hospital emergency rooms are prepared to handle almost anything, and assured us that it would be no problem for them.

Tungsten rings will not crush or bend out-of-round, so if you shut your hand in a car door or drop a heavy object on it, a tungsten wedding band is likely to fracture into several pieces and fall off your finger freely.  Nonetheless, check with your local jeweler or medical facility if you have concerns.
