Anyone know how well/long tungsten rings last?
How do they compare to to other metals? Like white gold or platinum? |

I love my Tungsten ring. I am a machinist, machine maintainance, home mechanic and professional clutz and this ring is standing up to everything I do to it. It doesnt scratch and looks like the day I bought it. My wife liked it so much, she got one instead of the gold one she picked.

my hubby's ring is tungsten. He loves it and so do I. Exceptionally tough material. He still wears his on the ship, although he runs the risk of loosing his finger if he gets it caught somewhere. Difficult to cut off fingers in an ER setting.
He managed to chip with window of our Volvo a little while ago when he went to tap a bug on the inside. Lucky for us, a sliver just came off the top of the window, and not smash the whole thing. So be careful. |

My buddy has had his for about 5 years now.
They are durable, but they are also expensive. Titanium rings are getting popular up here too. Lighter, and cheaper.

in terms of durability, tungsten carbide is tough ass material. I mean you find it in saw blades, used for teeth on large hydraulic excavators, and a lot of applications requiring tough materials to survive lots of abusive conditions.
as far as its use in jewelery, I have no clue, but I"d imagine itd hold up quite well for a long time and still look good, based on its resistance to abraision and general durable nature. |

Why do people want tungsten rings? Because its durable? I dont wear jewelry but I always thought the point was to wear a precious metal.

I love my tungsten ring! I also have a Movado Fiero watch that is made of tungsten that has survived without a scratch.
