When you think of wedding bands, you probably think of gold or platinum. However, an increasingly popular market material is neither of these and is far more affordable than both. If you’re looking for something bold and one-of-a-kind, tungsten carbide may be the answer.
What Exactly Is Tungsten Carbide?
Tungsten carbide is a hard and dense metal with a high melting point that is formed by combining or alloying carbon with tungsten. Tungsten carbide is a deep grey colour when untreated, but it can be polished, sandblasted, or carved to achieve a variety of finishing aesthetics.
Tungsten carbide rings have many advantages. These lowcost wedding bands are much less expensive than gold or platinum and they are hypoallergenic, scratch and tarnish resistant. As a result, you will not develop ring rash. Tungsten carbide is a hard, long-lasting material that can be polished indefinitely.
Touchwood pride itself on its service and product quality, and for this reason offer a lifetime warranty on all our Tungsten men’s rings, this of course is within reason and applies to normal wearing circumstances.
Warranty Includes:
1) The protective poxy comes off or loose.
2) Ring breaks – Under normal circumstances
The warranty does not cover unnatural events such as steel objects that were dropped onto the ring or smashed with a hammer etc.
Kindly note that even though Tungsten is a very strong metal nothing is unbreakable and should be handled with care as it is in most cases a wedding ring, not a “wreck it ralphs” band.
