Many jewelers offer pure tungsten wedding bands which lack the hardness of tungsten carbide and can scratch quite easily. Some offer tungsten rings made with cobalt binder because it is cheaper to produce than nickel-binder carbide. We caution you against buying from a jeweler that doesn't specify that their tungsten wedding bands are made with the nickel binder alloy.
Tungsten is the perfect combination of unbelievable strength with style and comfort. Tungsten carbide is roughly 10 times harder than 18k gold, 5 times harder than tool steel, and 4 times harder than titanium. Tungsten measures between 8 and 9 on the Mohs hardness scale. (Diamonds are a 10 - the highest.)
Composition is usually 84% of tungsten and 16% of carbon and nickel. There is no cobalt in the composition of our rings. Cobalt will develop a negative reaction to your skin and will in a short time period will develop oxidation spots that cannot be removed or polished from your ring. This is due to the Cobalt reacting to the human body. Tungsten rings are composed of a metal alloy, tungsten carbide. The alloy allows for maximum hardness and rigidity without sacrificing tensile strength.
Each ring goes through a 30-stage precision grinding process by craftspeople using diamond-embedded grinding tools held in specially designed machinery. Tungsten, nickel, and Carbide are ground into powders and then are compressed and forged together with high-pressure dies and then is sintered (fired) in an oxygen-free furnace at 2,400 degrees Fahrenheit (carbon black, at 900 - 2200C) in pusher or batch furnace (process called carburization) to form rings blanks that are indestructible and scratch proof.
Each Tungsten ring is individually hand crafted using assorted diamond abrasives and poly crystalline diamond tooling (similar in many ways to the cutting and polishing of a rough diamond). Each tungsten carbide ring is cut and skillfully polished with a diamond compound using diamond tools, resulting in a polish and shine creating a permanent luster and polish not possible with other metals, that will last forever.
