About Tungsten | |||
|
Tungsten (wolfram) has the symbol W in the periodic table and atomic number 74. Tungsten is the strongest material in the world with a tensile strength of 600,000 pounds per square inch. It is also one of the heaviest metals on the planet with a density twice as rigid as steel and seven times more dense than stone! Tungsten also has the highest melting and boiling points of any element on the planet. Not surprisingly then, it also has an excellent resistance to corrosion, radiation, and surface damage. Tungsten is a metal that provides a lasting satin-brushed finish. And, as per our policy, we will refinish your ring free of charge if it ever needs it. Your tungsten ring will be a constant source of satisfaction, with its pleasing tactile feel and unrivaled quality and weight. However, since all metal will scratch, we provide a red, calibrated garnet jeweler's cloth with each ring. With just a few light strokes, your ring will look like new. |

| Tungsten Alloy vs. Tungsten Carbide | ||||
|
We DO NOT use Tungsten
Carbide, which is known for chipping and shattering. Tungsten carbide is
a powder poured into a die and crushed, cold fusing the metal, and then
baked. Most Tungsten Carbide is only 40% Wolfram (tungsten element) and
our
tungsten (heavy alloy 17) is 90% plus wolfram with a binder of
stainless. |

| Our Gold & Silver Inlays | ||||
| We use only the
finest materials of all our custom inlays. We purchase our gold from the largest supplier in the world, and our inlays are guaranteed to be pulled from SOLID wire, not puffed or hollow gold like other ring makers are using. All of our gold inlays are filled completely and guaranteed to be flush and flawless within the titanium. At Custom Ring Designs, we also offer 5 different types of 14k gold: 14k yellow, 14k rose, 14k green, 14k white, or 14k ultra white palladium gold. On most rings, you choose what color gold you would like for your inlays. This added option continues to keep our customer as close as possible to the creation process. Of course, we also offer the finest pure silver on the market, again using only solid wire. We offer two types of silver: .999 fine silver and Argentium Sterling Silver - a new silver that WILL NOT TARNISH, ever! It's a perfect addition to the Custom Ring Design family. |
