What is Tungsten Carbide?
Tungsten carbide is a compound made from tungsten and carbon atoms — one of the hardest materials on earth. It is approximately three times stiffer than steel and ten times harder than 18ct gold, making it an exceptional choice for a wedding ring that genuinely lasts a lifetime. In recent years, tungsten carbide has become one of the most popular choices for wedding rings due to its durability, scratch resistance and striking appearance.
Tungsten carbide is also hypoallergenic, making it an excellent option for those with sensitive skin or metal allergies. Our tungsten carbide wedding rings come in a wide range of styles — from classic hammered silver bands to distinctive designs featuring Scottish whisky barrel wood, sustainable koa wood, stag antler and Celtic patterns. While tungsten carbide rings cannot be resized, we offer a generous exchange service to ensure the perfect fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can tungsten carbide wedding rings be resized?
No — tungsten carbide is too hard to be resized by traditional jewellery methods. We recommend getting professionally sized at a local jeweller before ordering. We offer an exchange service if your ring doesn’t fit, though return postage costs are the buyer’s responsibility.
Are tungsten carbide rings hypoallergenic?
Yes. Tungsten carbide rings are hypoallergenic and cobalt-free, making them an excellent choice for anyone with sensitive skin or metal allergies. Unlike cheaper rings with brass or copper bases, tungsten carbide won’t cause skin reactions.
How durable are tungsten carbide wedding rings?
Extremely durable. Tungsten carbide is comparable in hardness to sapphires and can only be scratched by diamond-grade materials. It won’t bend, warp or dull over time — making it one of the most practical choices for a wedding ring worn every day.
Do tungsten carbide rings tarnish?
No. Unlike silver or gold, tungsten carbide does not tarnish, corrode or lose its finish. Your ring will look as good in twenty years as it does on your wedding day.
