Tungsten rings and other forms of tungsten jewelry is crafted from
Tungsten carbide. This alloy of tungsten has seen widespread
application in industrial use and has been in vogue in the jewelry
industry for some years now. Tungsten when combined with carbon becomes
twice as hard as steel and four times as hard as titanium, thus, making
it the most durable metal. Tungsten melts at more than 6000 degree
Fahrenheit and Tungsten carbide ranks around 9 on the Mohs hardness
scale.
The above facts and properties of tungsten carbide make it ideal for jewelry making due to the following distinct advantages:
- Tungsten carbide is impossible to scratch. So a tungsten ring
crafted and adorned will last for ages without the need for any polish
or maintenance.
- The hardness of tungsten carbide ensures that the ring crafted from
tungsten carbide is virtually indestructible. It can be disfigured only
after a few strokes with a very heavy hammer.
- The luster and the rugged metal look make a tungsten carbide ring stunning and pleasing to the eye.
- Tungsten carbide rings can be worn by anyone without the headaches
of skin sensitivity. Tungsten carbide is hypoallergenic and thus suits
all skin types.
- A tungsten carbide ring is scratch proof and can only be scratched using a diamond.
- Price advantage over other precious metals used for making jewelry
is very high. One does not need to take a peek at the price while
buying tungsten carbide jewelry.
Tungsten carbide is the future of jewelry and flaunting it now is a distinct advantage socially.
