Tungsten Carbide is: 4x harder than titanium 5x harder than tool steel 10x harder than 18K gold or sterling silver

No! Many jewelers may be selling rings made of only Tungsten, which is cheaper than Tungsten Carbide and much less resistant to wear. Only by bonding Tungsten with Carbon are you able to obtain the superior qualities.

Many online jewelers offer Tungsten Carbide rings but do not mention their rings may contain Cobalt as the bonding agent. Cobalt bonded Tungsten Carbide is cheaper to manufacture and has the potential to irritate the wearer's skin. Cobalt bonded rings also compromise the strength and shine of the ring through oxidation spots. These oxidation spots cannot be removed or polished out. EternalTungsten.com only sells cobalt-free rings, so you can be sure you are purchasing only the purest and highest quality wedding bands.

Comfort Fit means that the inside edge of the ring is slightly rounded to avoid the discomfort of a sharp edge pressed against your finger. This is especially helpful when the ring has relatively thick width in relation to your finger size. All of our rings at EternalTungsten.com come with a Comfort Fit.

If you are having difficulty removing your ring we highly recommend soaking the ring bearing finger and hand in ice filled water for a few minutes then apply liquid soap and gently slip the ring off. If the method to remove the ring with ice water and soap doesn’t work the tungsten carbide ring can be removed by breaking the ring with a standard vice grip-style locking pliers. Place vice grip-style locking pliers over ring and adjust the jaws to clamp lightly. Release and adjust tightener one-third turn then clamp again. Repeat until a crack is heard continue clamping in different positions until the ring is broken off. Take care not to slide or rotate the cracked ring on the finger. If the ring contains an inlay of gold, the exposed gold can be cut or clipped.

No, they are scratch resistant. Your ring will most likely obtain scratches during its lifetime, but they will be significantly less frequent and harder to see when compared to other jewelry metals. In addition, the inlays found on some of our rings are more susceptible to scratches than those made purely of tungsten carbide. We have also found that rings with textured finishes are also more easily scratched than polished ones because the texturing process removes some of material that was previously hardened and what remains are very tiny textured surfaces. While these surfaces are easier to scratch, the scratches are also harder to notice because of the natural worn look they possess.

Your tungsten carbide ring requires essentially no care. If your ring is 100% tungsten carbide high polished your ring will retain its luster and polish forever. A soft cloth will eliminate fingerprints and smudges and a little bit of water can help wipe away any liquids that may have dried on your ring.

All tungsten rings with sterling silver or gold inlays will tarnish and need to be polished up over time. We suggest using a tarnish removing liquid like TARN-X.

Avoid cleaning your ring with harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges or compounds, and DO NOT LEAVE IN THE ULTRASONIC CLEANING MACHINE FOR MORE THAN A MINUTE. All of these cleaning methods can potentially damage the surface of your ring.
