Tungsten Carbide Rings

Tungsten carbide is a chemical compound which is formed when tungsten and carbide powders are forged or brazed together at 1400 - 2000˚C (the highest melting point for any metal) by using a metal binder, like nickel. A process called sintering is used to form this compound into tools, jewellery, machinery, armor-piercing rounds and even the ball tips of ball-point pens! 

This tungsten carbide has the density of steel (between lead and gold) and is virtually indestructible and scratch proof. It is a rare metal which measures 8 – 9 on the Mohs hardness scale. Diamonds are the hardest at 10. It is the only metal that can be polished (by using diamond wheels and abrasives) to a permanent polished look and shine. Both, stylish and durable, with unbelievable strength.
