What is Tungsten Carbide?

A tungsten carbide ring is a type of jewelry, commonly used as a wedding band or fashion ring, made from a blend of tungsten and carbon. Tungsten carbide is a very hard and durable material, known for its scratch resistance and long-lasting finish. Tungsten carbide rings are a popular choice for those looking for a durable and stylish option for wedding bands or rings with weight and longevity.

Composition

Tungsten carbide is a compound of tungsten and carbon. Tungsten is a metal known for its strength and high melting point, while carbon contributes to the hardness of the compound.

Properties

The material is extremely hard—almost as hard as sapphire, which means it resists scratches and maintains its polish better than many other metals. It's also heavier than many other metals, giving it a substantial feel.

Appearance

Tungsten carbide rings often have a sleek, modern look and come in various finishes, such as polished, matte, or brushed. They can also be found in a range of colors, including classic silver, black, and even with inlays of other materials.

Comfort

Despite its hardness, tungsten carbide rings can be made comfortable to wear. Many are designed with a comfort-fit interior, which has a slight curve to make the ring more comfortable on the finger.
