      The Complete Guide to Tungsten Carbide Mens Rings

      You need not find the most outstanding elven blacksmith to create for you a ring that could withstand even the strongest of winds; all you really need is a ring made out of tungsten carbide. This new material is becoming increasingly popular as men's rings for its quality and affordability. Fashioning yourselves with a tungsten carbide ring is not only a practical choice, but also without a doubt a stylish one. Its qualities are appealing to many, and when your lifestyle requires a sturdy yet handsome ring, tungsten carbide is no less than the perfect material suited for that. Considering its fairly recent debut as a material for jewelry, it can easily be confused with other equally popular tungsten rings, but we can assure you that while they have their similarities, the tungsten carbide ring definitely also has its own differences. To help clear things up a bit, we have prepared for you a complete guide to tungsten carbide rings.

      What is Tungsten Carbide?

      The Tungsten Glowstone Ring is a fully customizable tungsten carbide mens ring

      Not to be confused with the individual metal tungsten, tungsten carbide is a chemical compound that consists of equal parts tungsten and carbon. Its combination with carbon emphasizes its already positive characteristics, making it considerably harder than gold and platinum. It has only entered the jewelry scene in the 1960s, and has since then gained popularity due to its hardness and its sleek, light colored, shiny look.

      Durable For Even the Toughest Jobs

      Tungsten carbide mens rings are extremely durable for even the toughest jobs

      If there was a material that was absolutely made to last regardless of how tough the job is, tungsten carbide would easily win against a significant amount of other metals by a landslide. Boasting a hardness that is second to only the diamond, the durability of tungsten carbide almost truly has no bounds. As a durable material, it is commonly used as the edges of drills, saws, and other construction gear, as well as mill products that turn even the roughest of materials to the finest of powders. Tungsten carbide has proven itself to be quite the industrial grade material, and it is no surprise that it is equally appealing as wedding bands. Its strength as a material can have its own symbolic meanings, and there is certainly something fantastic about an immensely strong tungsten carbide wedding ring that requires no magical infusions!

      Affordable Without Sacrificing Quality

      The Hammered Tungsten Glowstone Ring is made on a unique hammered band is a perfect tungsten carbide mens ring

      Because tungsten carbide is so tough and is used in various industries, it's gotta be quite an expensive material as a wedding band, right? Wrong! Other than tungsten carbide rings offering impressive durability, nobody has to worry about dishing out any extra limbs or (any limbs for that matter) for a ring that could possibly last lifetimes. Tungsten carbide rings are also significantly more affordable than many other precious metals and does not falter in quality in the slightest!


      Just a word of warning: you may come across stores that offer mass-produced tungsten wedding rings at prices that seem too good to be true, so make sure you double, triple, quadruple check what materials were used in making the tungsten carbide ring. Watch out for tungsten rings that contain cobalt and nickel, as these may not only tarnish, but also could potentially trigger skin irritations to those with metal hypersensitivities. It would also do you good to check whether the store you are shopping from offers warranties, polishing, or replacement services!

      The Downside of Durability

      However, much like every other piece of jewelry, even tungsten carbide wedding bands have their downsides. Their durability, while being the very quality that appeals to many, is also the very thing that can potentially be a problem. Rings made out of tungsten carbide cannot be resized, and you will most definitely need to have an entirely new ring made should there ever come a time when your ring no longer fits! Jewelry stores--especially ones that make tungsten carbide wedding bands--usually offer services that can have your ring replaced according to your new finger sizes.


      And while we are all familiar with the ring's incredible durability, this does not mean that the ring itself is truly indestructible. Tungsten carbide rings surely cannot be bent, but they definitely can be cracked. Tungsten is a naturally strong metal, but the presence of carbon makes the material brittle and not as crack resistant as other metals. Just like any other piece of jewelry, you will definitely need to pay attention to when and where you wear your ring, as it may just quite literally crack under pressure while you have it on. Tungsten carbide rings are usually suitable for people with active lifestyles, however, you may want to reconsider having it on especially when you frequently work with your hands. Avoid slamming your ring into hard surfaces, and definitely do not even consider hitting your ring with a hammer. 

      Generally, getting yourself a tungsten carbide ring is still 100% a practical and a stylish choice that you won’t regret. Taking care of them shouldn’t be that much of an issue, and all the necessary precautions you need to take for your ring to remain undamaged is just like any other piece of jewelry that you own! The tungsten carbide ring is still equal parts durable and fashionable, and finding/customizing your very own ring to fit your personal style should be seamless, easy, and enjoyable.
