Titanium rings look great new, and usually are less expensive. It is very common for people to mistakenly believe that the two metals are either the same thing or equal. Titanium is a strong metal but not resilient like tungsten carbide. Over time titanium rings will scratch and lose their polish thus needing to be refinished. Tungsten alone (not tungsten carbide) is also much like titanium. Without the carbide it does not gain its extreme hardness and durability. Only when tungsten is combined with a carbon alloy is it transformed into tungsten carbide, the strongest of all metals. Tungsten carbide is also a heavier metal than titanium which is very lightweight, making it more durable and better looking.

Usually, customers engrave on the inside of the ring. That means it is the part of the ring touching you finger when you are wearing it. This way others can't see your special message unless you take ring off. However, some people want the world to see their engraving. In this case, they choose to have their engraving done on the outside of the ring. So, when they are wearing their ring, others can see their engraving message. Customers who purchase wider alternative metal rings, such as tungsten carbide rings or cobalt chrome wedding bands, tend to prefer engraving the outside of their rings becauset hey are wider and the engravings can be done bigger, so others can see it easily. There is no right or wrong place to engrave your ring. It all comes down to personal preference, and we are proud to be able to offer you the option that suits you best.

Will the Engraving Ring Scratch off?

The durability of an engraving done on the outside of the ring depends on the durability of the metal itself. On softer metals, like gold, the ring will get scratched and the engraving will wear away over time, but on hard metals like tungsten, the engraving will not wear away as it is very difficult to scratch the ring. Engravings on the inside of the ring will not wear away no matter what metal you choose, as long as you wear the ring on your finger. For the engraving to wear away, that would mean your skin is tougher than the metal, which is not possible. Wearing a ring on a necklace could rub away an engraving on a gold ring over time.

What is Laser Engraving Ring?

As the name suggests, the use of a laser is involved with this style of engraving. In reality, a laser does not actually engrave your ring, as engraving involves etching or carving. A laser actually burns your personal message on to the surface of the ring. So, the correct term should be "laser marking", but most people refer to it as laser engraving and the name has stuck. Laser engraving can be done on any metal as well. Many fonts and symbols are available. In fact, just about any image or font can be done with a laser engraver, as long as we can get it into the proper file format. If you would like something custom laser engraved on to your ring, chances are we can do it. Please contact us with your request and we will provide you a quote.

Tungsten Carbide Jewelry

Tungsten Carbide is a great deal harder than titanium and steel and has been used for many years in industry where a sharp blade or cutter needs to be in constant use and not get damaged.
Tungsten carbide is now being used in jewellery, especially for rings. The designs are very modern as well as some being the more classic court wedding rings, but all have the advantage of being even more durable than gold, platinum or titanium, as they can only be damaged by extremes, such as being struck with a hammer! This makes them the ideal ring for any man in a hard manual job.
A binder is used in the production of tungsten carbide which can be either cobalt or nickel. Cobalt is the cheaper option with many manufacturers choosing this in order to reduce their costs and improve profit margins. Tungsten carbide made with a cobalt binder can react to the oils in the skin resulting in a discolouring very similar to tarnished silver. Although tarnished silver can be polished or cleaned, a ring made from tungsten carbide with a cobalt binder will retain the discolouring as it is not just confined to the surface of the ring.
We use a Nickel binder in our tungsten rings which although is more expensive is chemically inert so that a chemical reaction does not take place. This will result in a tungsten carbide ring that will retain its finish and not suffer the same fate as a cheaper cobalt ring. Although nickel is used in the manufacture it is within the tolerance of current EU legislation and is completely hypoallergenic.
The one piece of advice I would offer, would be to check which binder is used in any tungsten carbide ring that you intend to purchase and to avoid cobalt. If the retailer does not know which is used then they are either using cobalt or have no knowledge of the product which they are selling.
Due to tungsten carbide rings being so durable it is not possible to size these rings so it is very important to purchase the correct size. We are happy to exchange any ring within 30 days of receipt.
