The engagement ring is actually a depiction of the never ending pledge to the relationship and the partners. The true meaning of engagement ring is far ahead of the mere nuts and bolts or the small stones in the rings.

What do they mean by CARBIDE?
Carbide is the nomenclature used to describe tungsten that is alloyed with other trace elements and a binder (Nickel) to make a more scratch resistant metal. This process is similar to the process iron goes through to become steel. All tungsten rings are actually tungsten carbide, it is just that sometimes people will just refer to it as simply “tungsten”.
Why men choose TUNGSTEN CARBIDE wedding bands for jewelry?
If you work on the construction site and you are hard on your jewelry, you may often hit your wedding band and find a number of dents and scratches on your jewelry. There is a couple of ways to prevent this: either find another job, which is crazy in current economy J, or find a more durable material for your wedding band. Thus, I strongly suggest you to consider wearing Tungsten carbide wedding bands. TUNGSTEN CARBIDE is one of the MOST DURABLE metals in the world. Tungsten Rings are a REVOLUTIONARY BREAKTHROUGH in jewelry technology. It is DENT and SCRATCH RESISTANT. This metal is very heavy also so you’ll like wearing a solid and virtually EVERLASTING metal. Tungsten carbide jewelry is the most wear resistant jewelry in the world. Tungsten carbide is 10 times as hard as 18Kt gold, 5 times as hard as steel, and 4 times as hard as titanium. Tungsten carbide is between 8 and 9 points on the most hardness scale, with a diamond being 10.
Can a Tungsten Carbide Ring be ever scratched?
Due to its hardness, Tungsten carbide jewelry can be scratched only by a diamond abrasion or corundum. Consequently, activities that would normally require the removal of conventional wedding bands for their protection can be performed without concern by the wearer of a tungsten carbide wedding band. While extremely strong and scratch-resistant, tungsten carbide is a bit more brittle than traditional metals used for wedding bands.
Forget about RE-POLISHING!!!
Finally, tungsten carbide band is the only jewelry that can be “PERMANENTLY POLISHED”. This is another reason to buy a Tungsten carbide wedding band. In couple decades you tungsten band will look the same as when you purchased it. Tungsten carbide bands NEVER NEED RE-POLISHING for as long as you own it.
Can the TUNGSTEN RING be RE-SIZED?
This is a very important question to answer unless, of course, you don’t plan on ever losing or gaining weight for the rest of your life.
Titanium can be re-sized, however, it is a very difficult and more expensive process. Tungsten, on the other hand, is impossible to re-size as it is TOO HART metal. Therefore, choosing the proper ring size is VERY IMPORTANT. A good idea is to get a ring seizer for an accurate measurement of your size. It is recommended that you take several measurements at different times and average out what size your finger is, as it will vary slightly for some people throughout the course of the day.
Would a tungsten carbide wedding band CAUSE A RASH, or which binder is better in your ring, NICKEL or COBALT?
Tungsten in its raw form is a powder. A manufacturer combines the tungsten with an alloy sometimes cobalt and sometimes nickel to bind it all together. You want to find a tungsten ring with a nickel binder. If you are allergic to nickel you might have a reaction. However, nickel is extremely common and is found in many everyday items like coins, pants buttons, belt buckles, and tools. If you have not had problems with any of these products, you should not have a problem with tungsten rings. Nickel allergies can be confirmed by a doctor as well using a patch test.
It is VERY IMPORTANT to make sure you only buy “COBALT FREE” tungsten carbide jewelry. If your jewelry has “COBALT” as an alloy it will have a NEGATIVE REACTION with your skin and over time the tungsten carbide jewelry will begin developing OXIDATION SPOTS on it which CANNOT BE REMOVED OR POLISHED AWAY.
