Men's and Unisex Tungsten Carbide Rings
Hard enough for specialised cutting tools, tungsten carbide is a popular material for rings.
Because it is so hard, it tends to keep its polish, which has made it a popular choice for men's wedding bands and for people who work with their hands or want a ring that needs little looking after.
The rings come brushed, polished, hammered or faceted. Some have a black, blue, gold-toned or rose-toned coating, and others are inlaid with wood, carbon fibre, abalone shell or stones such as lapis lazuli and turquoise.
