Benefits of Tungsten Rings

May 8, 2018

What are the benefits of Tungsten Carbide Rings?

Although precious metals persist as popular choices for jewelry, many men are swapping gold, silver, and platinum for alternative metals or materials. Tungsten is one of the best selling alternative metals to take the fashion world by storm, and it is no surprise why. Tungsten, or wolfram, is a chemical element that is one of the hardest known substances in the world. The term “wolfram” derives from the Swedish term “volfram,” because this material was first discovered in 1781 by Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele. Tungsten is adored throughout the world for its resistance to high temperatures, hardness, and density. Grooms tend to choose tungsten rings for their heft and masculine appeal.

In this article, we will review some of the advantages and disadvantages to choosing tungsten as the primary material of your wedding band. Keep reading to learn more about the benefits of tungsten rings, so you can carefully determine whether this alternative metal is right for you and your lifestyle.

Top Benefits of Tungsten Rings

As one of the most durable metals available, tungsten offers superior resistance to scratching and tarnishing. Furthermore, this rare and exotic metal offers a permanent polish that never loses its shine. Looking for versatility in terms of the most important piece of jewelry you will ever wear? Look no further, because the natural gunmetal gray color of tungsten can be plated in black, white, or even gold. You can easily achieve the look of precious metals, such as white gold or platinum, at a fraction of the cost.

Disadvantages of Choosing a Tungsten Ring

Similar to diamonds, tungsten carbide provides superior scratch resistance and durability. However, this resilient material will crack if enough pressure is applied. Another drawback to choosing tungsten rings is that they cannot be resized as your finger swells or changes over time. If you are an electrician or work with electrical components on a daily basis, tungsten may not be the best choice for you. This material features moderate electrical conductivity properties and any ring made of it should be removed prior to working with electricity. Contrary to popular belief, tungsten carbide can be removed with a professional jeweler’s saw in the event of an emergency or swelling. If you choose a black tungsten ring or a wedding band with colored plating, your ring may require replating in the future.
