For something unique – choose Men’s tungsten wedding rings
This type of material creates the perfect symbol for the strength of your love: it’s highly resistant to abrasions, has the highest melting point of any metal on earth and is 10 times stronger than gold. Comfortable to wear with sophisticated designs, our tungsten wedding rings are designed for life.
Recently, this form of metal has become a popular option across men’s jewellery. As it offers a stylish appeal with an affordable edge, these designs meet the balance of affordability and wearability. However, this little-known material plays host to a range of benefits not commonly known for those looking for a piece of jewellery that boasts a distinctive aesthetic.
For longevity
In essence, this material has the highest melting point of all other types of metal, making it a heavier form of jewellery as a result. If you’re on the hunt for men’s wedding bands in Australia that are scratch-resistant, hardy and able to last a lifetime, these concepts are for you.
In its purest form, this type of metal can’t actually be used as is. Instead, it’s processed into a mix that features nickel and cobalt, creating the high-tier balance that gives these designs their durability. Binding together to create the ultimate shape, this is a long-term variation, as opposed to raw alternatives that are far more brittle.
For affordability
Shopping around for a design that reflects your commitment, but also your budget, is a challenge. This metal allows you to reap the best of both worlds, offering a high-grade jewellery option that still meets a modest price point.
For unwavering aesthetics
Over time, it’s common for jewellery to experience discolouration, but tungsten men’s rings are designed to withstand tarnishing and corrosion. Enjoy pieces that won’t lose their shine as the years roll on, and will ward off any scratches. These designs are truly the pinnacle of a ‘forever polished’ option.

Are Tungsten Rings Waterproof?
Are tungsten rings waterproof? The short answer is yes. Tungsten itself is not soluble in water, and water can’t infiltrate the surface of tungsten rings. However, we do recommend removing your tungsten ring before washing your hands in a sink or taking a shower. This is because there is a slight risk of the chemicals in tap water compromising the durability of the ring’s material. So, while there’s no need to panic if you forget to take your tungsten ring off before showering, we suggest removing it when coming into contact with tap water to ensure its enduring quality.
Are Tungsten Rings Safe For Electricians To Wear?
If you’ve wondered, ‘are tungsten rings safe for electricians?’ it’s important to note that all metals can conduct electricity. Although they have lower conductivity than rings made of other metals, we don’t recommend wearing tungsten rings as an electrician. To ensure your safety, you should remove your tungsten ring before doing any electrical work. If you’re after an alternative that is completely safe to wear no matter your profession, we suggest checking out our range of silicone rings.
Do Tungsten Rings Stretch?
No, tungsten rings do not stretch. One of the biggest benefits of a tungsten wedding ring is its strength and longevity. These rings are formed when tungsten carbide and carbon powder are moulded together and heated at a scorching temperature. This results in the ring forming as one solid piece that is incapable of stretching. The only way a tungsten ring could be stretched is if it was heated at such a high temperature that it would ultimately melt and lose its shape entirely.
How Long Do Tungsten Rings Last?
Asking how long tungsten rings last is like asking how long a piece of string is. Tungsten rings for men are some of the most resistant to wear and tear on the market. No matter how often you may get your hands dirty, your ring will remain scratch-proof. Not only is a tungsten ring virtually indestructible, but its lustre and sheen will hardly fade throughout the years either.
Can Tungsten Rings Be Resized?
Because of their inability to stretch, tungsten rings cannot be resized. However, we understand that your ring size may change over time, so we offer unlimited replacements for just $50 per piece. Our lifetime replacement policy applies to any metal ring purchased from ETRNL, including those made from titanium, black zirconium and, of course, tungsten.
How Can I Clean My Tungsten Ring?
Although tungsten rings generally require little maintenance, it’s a good idea to give them a thorough clean from time to time. Yes, even black tungsten rings will need the occasional polish to keep them spick and span. It’s also important to clean your ring if it comes into contact with any harsh chemicals, like chlorine or ammonia. If you want to know how to clean a tungsten ring, a homemade solution of warm water and a small amount of household detergent will usually do the job. You’ll simply need to scrub the ring with a washcloth while soaking it in the solution to remove any dirt. Then, finish off by rinsing the ring with fresh water and wiping it dry with a clean cloth.
Can Tungsten Rings Be Engraved?
Yes, tungsten rings can be engraved using a fibre laser. At ETRNL we are proud to offer custom engraving services on our tungsten rings.
