November 14, 2010
Tungsten, the main material in 6mm wedding tungsten carbide jewelry is forged with carbon (carbide) at extremely high temperatures way past 2000 degrees. The result from this process is rings (tungsten carbide rings) that are scratch & dent resistant.
Generally, tungsten wedding bands can be scratched only by objects as strong as a diamond.
You may be fascinated to own a pair of tungsten rings for your wedding. These rings will continue to look the same as the day they were purchased no matter how much abuse they take.
You need to first realize that the width of women wedding ring is usually in the range of 4mm-6mm while a men’s wedding ring is typically 6mm-8mm. 6mm is a width both genders can wear well. You must also recognize the fact that tungsten is a pretty heavy metal, hence the thicker the ring, the heavier it will feel on your finger.
To determine the ring size, you must round up the size of the ring and not round down. It is imperative to ask the jeweler whether the tungsten ring contains any cobalt properties before buying it.
Please do ensure you get them in the correct sizes before buying them. They can usually only be resized for a high cost which can range anywhere from $50 to $100.
