When looking for a high quality tungsten ring, you need to take into consideration 3 important things.
Always bear in mind that you shouldn’t just pay for any tungsten carbide rings without carefully scrutinizing the items. Ever since tungsten rings have become popular, a lot of vendors have started selling tungsten carbide rings. Many retailers have caught on the trend, hoping to get a slice of the consumer market that is inclined to buy tungsten carbide rings over gold and titanium ones.
I can say there are already some people who have been frustrated with their purchases. This can be due to their volition. Because they did not check first if the rings are of high quality, or maybe, they got carried away by the words of the sales people, they made the purchase without doing much thinking.
One of the things you need to bear in mind when buying tungsten carbide rings is the purity of the rings. Think back when you used to buy gold rings. You are more likely to buy a 14 or 18 karat gold because it means the ring is made of more gold. The same goes with tungsten carbide rings.
High quality tungsten carbide rings have at least 85% alloy. It should not be less than that because the ring would then be less resistant to scratches and damage. Similarly, if a ring is a hundred percent made of tungsten carbide, it would become too brittle. It would crack easily. So before you buy one from the jeweler, ask what the percentage of tungsten carbide the rings have.
Another factor to consider is the price of the tungsten carbide ring. These are more affordable than gold and titanium rings because they are made differently. Tungsten carbide rings, however, should not be very cheap. If you find one under $100, it means the ring is of low quality. The price of tungsten rings are related to the amount of hard work and quality of the product. Don’t get too excited when you see a tungsten carbide ring below $100.
Lastly, beware of the hidden charges your vendor may slap you with. Because vendors are so keen on selling their items, some of them may resort to dirty tactics just so you can buy from them. Avoid becoming a victim of hidden charges and fees. There are some stores who charge extra if you want to resize your ring or have it repaired. Some even have the audacity to charge additional fees despite their claims of “lifetime warranties.” This tactic is one red flag. It is a clear indication that they do not sell high quality rings.
