Tungsten carbide rings are completely safe to wear. When manufactured well the metal is cobalt free and hypo allergenic. Tungsten is an extremely hard metal, one step below a diamond on the Moh's Hardness Scale. This makes the metal very unique. Many people worry about tungsten rings in the case of an emergency. One major concern they have is their finger swelling around the ring in the case of injury. Some are even deterred from purchasing tungsten rings due to this one major factor.
Tungsten rings are actually safer to wear due to the hardness. The Hard metal ring will protect your finger rather than bend into it in the case of force. A true tungsten carbide ring can also be easily cracked off by any medical professional. A standard vice grip locked to the ring and cracked several times around the circumference will cause the ring to break into pieces and fall right off!
"Before our wedding my husband and I did some research on what type of rings to get. We both wanted a modern but also classic look. I had found that many of my gold and silver rings were misshaped with use and was searching for more a durable material wanting my wedding ring to keep its shape and shine for as long as possible.
We liked the look of titanium and even though we heard rumors that titanium is hard and can't be cut we saw no reason for not going with titanium bands. We found this great website titaniumstyle.com which had a great variety of wedding bands not to mention great prices also. Needless to say we were extremely happy with the rings we ordered. We got married in December 2007 and we recently had our first baby.
The durability of tungsten rings poses a problem regarding resizing. Many styles of rings, like gold and titanium, can be resized as the wearer's fingers grow; tungsten, however, cannot be resized. A tungsten ring must be completely replaced as the wearer's finger grows. If the finger begins outgrowing the ring, the ring should be immediately replaced before any damage can occur.
