Tungsten Rings

Why choose a tungsten wedding band

Tungsten carbide keeps its polish for years because everyday contact with keys, tools and countertops rarely leaves a mark. It doesn't rust or tarnish, and it costs far less than gold or platinum. The trade-off: tungsten is hard rather than flexible, so a very hard impact can crack it instead of bending it. Tungsten can't be resized, which is why sizing matters (see below).

Tungsten rings FAQ

Do tungsten rings scratch?

Very rarely. Tungsten carbide is among the hardest ring materials, so normal wear won't scratch it. Only harder materials such as diamond can. More in Do Tungsten Rings Scratch Easily?

Can a tungsten ring be resized?

No. Tungsten carbide can't be cut and resized like gold. If your size changes, see our warranty page for size exchanges. To get it right the first time, use our ring sizing guide or the $4.99 adjustable ring sizer.

Is tungsten better than titanium or gold?

Tungsten is heavier and more scratch resistant; titanium is much lighter; gold is softer and more expensive. Compare them in Tungsten vs Titanium and Tungsten vs Gold.

Does gold or black plating on tungsten last?

The tungsten itself lasts for life. Gold-tone and black finishes are surface layers that can slowly wear with time. See How Long Does Gold Plated Tungsten Last?

Can you engrave a tungsten ring?

Yes. We engrave in-house, and engraving of text and symbols inside or outside the ring is free. See Laser Engraving.
