Black Tungsten Jewelry Overview

For people who appreciate the hard & resilient nature of tungsten jewelry but whose tastes are more unconventional, Black Wedding Rings provide an attractive & interesting option.

Tungsten carbide is a scratch resistant material made by applying a special heat compression process to a mixture of pure tungsten, carbon, and a binder metal such as nickel, which begins in the form of powder placed inside an injection mold, to createBlack Wedding Rings.

Black Tungsten Rings also respond very well to engraving on the interior band, since the tiny lines created by the engraving tool can reveal white tungsten underneath or throw the letters into a dramatic shadow, giving your personal message a special gleam.

They will be explained in detail below, and because we believe in being honest with our customers and do not feel we need to trick anyone into buying a piece of jewelry if it?s really right for them, this article also aims to clear up some common misconceptions about black tungsten jewelry.

First, it is important to note that the term ?black tungsten? is not describing a single component but rather refers to the color of the finished product which involves a few.

A black tungsten ring gets its dark outer color through the application of another layer of metal alloy to the outer surface of a standard tungsten ring. This exterior layer does contain mostly tungsten, but to make the black opaque shine possible, titanium, carbon, and small amounts of rare-earth metals are also included in the mix.

A black tungsten ring’s black plating itself isn’t scratchproof because it is an anodized tungsten alloy added to the surface of the tungsten carbide ring later to give it this beautiful glowing black color, but it is very strong and regular tungsten itself will not scratch.

A layer of the black tungsten alloy is then secured to the entire surface of the tungsten ring through electroplating, which uses electrical current and the specific chemical properties of a metal to evenly and permanently deposit material onto another object.

When I put my black tungsten rings away, I store them in their original ring boxes. If you don’t have the box your black tungsten rings came in, or you didn’t get a ring box when you purchased or received them, ring boxes and pouches are available at all jewelry shops and most gift stores or department stores.

Any container in which you black tungsten ring will be kept in soft fabric and separate from other jewelry is fine.

The most common cause of damage to black tungsten ring occurs when the ring is stored in a box or pouch with other tungsten pieces or diamond jewelry, the only substances that compare to the hardness of a tungsten ring.

Black tungsten rings have an extraordinary and attractive appearance that many wearers find meaningful.

Some customers have said that black tungsten puts them in mind of “light at the end of the tunnel”, “a light in the darkness”, & other such things that their partner and commitment mean to them.

They are also particularly appealing to men, since they can appear more masculine and less flashy than other rings.

Whatever it might mean to you personally, a black tungsten band is a trend-conscious and off-the-beaten path choice when searching for the perfect token of love and fidelity.
