Tungsten jewelry. It's new. It's exciting. It's cutting edge.
Tungsten is a hard and dense metal, with a high melting point; science and geology buffs might recognize it as W on the periodic table of elements. However, when it is combined with carbon alloy, it transforms into tungsten carbide (WC): one of the coolest metals on the jewelry market.
Thorsten and Benchmark Rings' unique formula of tungsten carbide allows our tungsten rings to be both visually stunning and incredibly durable for years of everyday use. Washing dishes? Working in the yard? You don't need to remove your tungsten ring to protect its finish or because it's uncomfortable. Tungsten carbide is four times harder than titanium and twice as hard as steel, so tungsten jewelry is virtually scratchproof. And because our tungsten rings and tungsten wedding bands are comfort-fit, you won't ever have a reason to take it off.
Nope. Larson is a tungsten jeweler devoted to quality. All of our tungsten jewelry is made with nickel-binder alloy, superior to pure tungsten (which can scratch quite easily) and cobalt-binder alloy.
Nickel-binder alloy is hypoallergenic, chemically inert and does not oxidize, cause rashes, or irritate the skin. Cobalt-binder alloy, on the other hand, can cause a tungsten carbide allergic reaction and can oxidize when the cobalt binds with you skin's natural oils.
Tungsten rings are traditionally more popular for men, who enjoy their strength and commanding style. However, tungsten rings for women boast the same durability but in a wide range of delicate, feminine designs. Take a look at our tungsten rings for both men and women; many are available with stylish textures, precious metal inlays, diamond settings and custom engravings.
Please Note: Tungsten carbide rings, while incredibly strong, are not indestructible. Therefore, Larson Jewelers will void the warranty if a ring is altered in any way, including sizing, drilling, stone setting, polishing, boiling, cleaning with harsh chemicals, soldering, burning or showing evidence of obvious repeated physical abuse, such as striking with a hammer.
