Tungsten carbide has become a distinctive choice for men’s rings, combining substantial weight, exceptional hardness and a contemporary finish.

Derived from the Swedish words “Tung” and “Sten”, meaning “heavy stone”, tungsten is renowned for its strength and durability. Tungsten carbide rings are highly resistant to scratching and retain their polished appearance exceptionally well, making them particularly suited to everyday wear.

All rings in our Tungsten Carbide collection are R2 500 each.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

In unforeseen emergency situations, how do I remove my ring? This will require the use of vice grip-pliers. First step is to clamp the ring loosely. Then remove the pliers, 1/4 turn tighten the pliers and clamp the ring again. Continue this process until you hear a crack.  At this point, remove the vice-grip pliers and place it in another spot on your ring. Repeat these steps until the material breaks away, taking care not to rotate or slide the cracked ring on your finger; as the broken edges will be sharp. Should your ring have a gold inlay, this inlay can be clipped away in the normal way.    

Can Tungsten Carbide rings be resized? Due to the hardness of Tungsten Carbide these rings cannot be resized.  However, if during the first week or two you are not completely satisfied with the size of your ring; we can still replace it with a different size.

Why buy cobalt free Tungsten rings? Some lower quality Tungsten rings are made by using cobalt as an alternative binder; but these are susceptible to corrosion, cracking, marring or scratching.  Tungsten bands containing cobalt might even cause skin irritations. Therefore we stock cobalt free Tungsten Carbide rings.
