Tungsten Ring

What is Tungsten?? - Tungsten also known as wolfram, comes from the Swedish language which means heavy stone. Tungsten has the highest melting point of all the elements at 6,700 degrees F (3,420 degrees C). Its permanent attributes deem it to be the hardest metal on the planet. Today tungsten carbide is used throughout the world. Although its primary application is in the mechanical industry, it is quickly gaining popularity as a durable, long lasting, material used in jewelry.

Tungsten Carbide = containing equal parts of tungsten and carbon atoms. In its basic form is just a fine gray powder, but it can be pressed and formed into shapes for us in industrial machinery, tools, as well as jewelry. It is also 3 times stiffer than steel.Tungsten Carbide is ranked second hardest next to diamond on the Mohs scale, diamond being a 10 followed by Tungsten Carbide as 9.
