Product Specifications

Why Choose Our Tungsten Ring Blanks?

• Exceptional Scratch Resistance: Tungsten carbide is one of the hardest metals used in jewelry, offering near scratch-proof durability that's perfect for everyday wear and active lifestyles.
• Unique Faceted Texture: The modern faceted design provides a brilliant, light-catching texture that adds depth and character to your finished piece.
• Ready for Inlay: The dual 1.5mm channels are pre-scuffed for a superior bond, allowing you to create delicate and intricate two-part inlay designs with confidence.
• Comfort & Heft: Tungsten has a satisfying weight and is finished with a smooth comfort-fit interior, giving the final ring a substantial, high-quality feel.

Important Crafting Instructions

• EXTREME HARDNESS: Tungsten Carbide is extremely hard, which means it cannot be resized. Ensure correct sizing before purchase.
• FINISHING YOUR INLAY: Due to its scratch-resistance, the tungsten itself is difficult to sand. Focus on carefully sanding your inlay material flush with the edges of the channel. We recommend using tape to protect the faceted finish.
• DURABLE BUT BRITTLE: While incredibly scratch-resistant, tungsten carbide can be brittle. A sharp impact against a very hard surface (like being dropped on concrete) can cause it to crack or shatter.

Creative Applications

• Crushed Opal Rings: The slim dual channels are perfect for creating delicate pinstripe inlays. Use contrasting opal colors for a stunning effect against the dark, faceted metal. A fantastic choice for unique opal ring supplies.
• Metal Powder Inlays: Inlay fine metal powders like gold, copper, or silver into the channels for a sophisticated and modern mixed-metal design.
• Wedding Bands: Create a rugged yet elegant wedding band that is built to withstand the test of time, symbolizing strength and commitment.
