Discover the amazing look and durability of Tungsten Carbide wedding bands. In an extraordinary process, Tungsten and Carbide
powders are forged together at 2,400 degrees Fahrenheit to form
rings that are virtually indestructible and scratch proof. Then they
are polished with a diamond compound, resulting in a polish and
shine that will last forever. Tungsten Carbide is the perfect combination of
unbelievable strength with style and comfort.
Why Tungsten Carbide?
Tungsten Carbide is the only rare and exotic metal that can be permanently
polished. The polish and finish can last as long as your commitment
to each other - 30, 40 or even 50 years!With gold, platinum and
even titanium rings, you will notice varying degrees of scratching,
denting and surface marks. However, with Tungsten Carbide rings, the surface
will maintain it's original beautiful shiny finish.
Hard Facts About Tungsten Carbide Rings:
- Tungsten Carbide Rings are the most wear resistant rings available
on the planet.
- Tungsten Carbide is about 10 times harder than 18K Gold, 5 times
harder than tool steel, and 4 times harder than titanium.
- Tungsten Carbide measures between 8 and 9 on the Mohs hardness
scale. (Diamonds are a 10 - the highest.)
- Due to their extreme hardness, Tungsten Carbide Rings will hold
their shape and shine longer than any ring on the market.
- Tungsten Carbide rings have been referred to as the "Permanently
Polished Rings".
- Tungsten Carbide rings will NOT bend.
- In the event of an emergency, a Tungsten Carbide ring can be removed by a
medical professional.
- Each Tungsten Carbide ring is individually hand crafted using
assorted diamond abrasives and poly crystalline diamond tooling.
- Our Tungsten Carbide rings are cobalt free.
The Manufacturing Process
Tungsten with carbon and other elements are ground into a powder and
then compressed with high-pressure dies to form a ring blank.
The blank is then fired in an oxygen free furnace at an astounding
6,200 degrees Fahrenheit. This process called sintering creates the
hardest metal used for making jewelry.
The ring is then cut and shaped using diamond tools with
approximately 30 steps required for completion. The cutting and
shaping of a tungsten ring is similar in many ways to the cutting
and polishing of a rough diamond.
The ring is then skillfully polished with diamond polishing tools
and wheels creating a permanent luster and polish not possible with
other metals.
A Tungsten Carbide ring will remain polished forever, and is scratch
resistant. It is a unique metal that epitomizes today's man more
than any other.
