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.
- Sleek Polished Finish: The modern, mirror-like polished finish provides a brilliant contrast that makes your inlay colors pop.
- Ready for Inlay: The dual 2.5mm 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 polished 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
- Dual Inlays: The dual channels are perfect for creating stunning two-tone rings. Combine two different crushed opal colors for a vibrant look against the sleek, dark metal.
- Crushed Opal Rings: The polished finish and dark color of the tungsten make it a fantastic choice for opal ring supplies, as it provides a dramatic contrast that enhances the fire of any opal.
- Wedding Bands: Create a rugged yet elegant wedding band that is built to withstand the test of time, symbolizing strength and commitment.
