Buying a Tungsten Carbide Wedding Band Ring
When planning a wedding, choosing the perfect ring is a pivotal decision. Traditionally, gold, white gold, silver, and platinum were the top choices for wedding bands. However, modern tastes and lifestyles have expanded the range of metals available. Among these, tungsten carbide stands out as a popular option. Jewelry designers now craft beautiful tungsten carbide rings in a variety of styles, catering to different tastes and budgets.
What is Tungsten Carbide?
Tungsten, on its own, is a very hard and dense metal with the highest melting point of all metals?"6,100 degrees Fahrenheit. While pure tungsten is prone to scratches, it becomes exceptionally hard when combined with carbon, forming tungsten carbide. This alloy rates between 8.5 and 9.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it four times harder than titanium and twice as hard as steel. Tungsten carbide rings are visually stunning and extremely durable, enduring everyday wear. They resist damage except under extreme conditions, such as contact with diamonds or hammer blows.
Choosing Your Tungsten Carbide Wedding Band
When selecting a tungsten carbide ring, ask your jeweler about the binding metal used in its production. Many manufacturers utilize cobalt because it is cost-effective; however, cobalt can bond with skin oils, leading to oxidation that resembles tarnished silver and cannot be polished away. A better option is nickel-binder tungsten carbide, which is chemically inert, hypoallergenic, and resistant to oxidation.
Ensure your jeweler specifies that their tungsten bands contain nickel binder alloy. Some may unknowingly sell rings made of cobalt alloy or pure tungsten, which lack the hardness and durability of true tungsten carbide.
Due to its incredible hardness, tungsten carbide bands cannot be resized like gold, silver, or platinum rings. Thus, it's crucial to determine your correct ring size before purchasing. While tungsten carbide rings can be engraved, the markings are generally faint and hard to read.
Lastly, although tungsten carbide rings are durable, they aren’t indestructible. Securing a warranty against breakage is advisable. With normal use, the polish and texture of your ring should remain pristine, reducing the likelihood of needing the warranty.
By considering these factors, you can confidently choose a tungsten carbide wedding band that combines elegance, durability, and style.
