FAQ
Q: What is tungsten carbide and why is it ideal for rings?
A: Tungsten carbide is an extremely hard and durable metal alloy that ranks 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it highly resistant to scratches and everyday wear. It's perfect for those who work with their hands or lead active lifestyles, as it maintains its polished finish far longer than traditional precious metals.
Q: Will the black coating fade or wear off over time?
A: The black finish is applied using PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating, an advanced technique that bonds the colour to the metal at a molecular level. While extremely durable, the coating can show wear over many years of intensive use, though this is minimal under normal wearing conditions.
Q: Can tungsten rings be resized?
A: Due to the extreme hardness of tungsten carbide, these rings cannot be resized using traditional jewellery techniques. We recommend visiting our Mall of the South store for professional sizing before purchase to ensure the perfect fit.
Q: Is this ring suitable as a wedding band?
A: Absolutely. Tungsten rings have become increasingly popular as wedding bands due to their durability, modern aesthetic, and symbolic strength. The 8mm width is a classic choice for men's wedding bands, and the bevelled design adds elegant detail.
Q: How do I determine my ring size?
A: We offer professional ring sizing at our Johannesburg boutique. Alternatively, you can use a ring sizer at home or visit any jeweller to have your finger measured. Ring sizing is crucial for tungsten rings as they cannot be adjusted after purchase.
Q: Is tungsten hypoallergenic?
A: Yes, high-quality tungsten carbide rings like this one are hypoallergenic and safe for most people with sensitive skin. The metal does not contain nickel, which is a common allergen in jewellery.
Q: How heavy is an 8mm tungsten ring?
A: Tungsten is a dense metal, so this ring will have a substantial, luxurious weight on your finger — typically 2-3 times heavier than the same ring in gold or silver. Many wearers appreciate this weighty feel as it conveys quality and presence.

Care Guide
- Clean your tungsten ring with warm soapy water and a soft cloth to maintain its lustrous finish
- Avoid exposing the ring to harsh chemicals such as bleach, chlorine, or acetone, which may affect the black coating over time
- Remove your ring during heavy physical activity or when handling abrasive materials to preserve the coating
- Store separately from other jewellery to prevent scratching softer metals and gemstones
- While tungsten is scratch-resistant, it can crack or shatter under extreme impact — avoid dropping on hard surfaces
- Do not attempt to resize or alter the ring as tungsten cannot be worked with traditional jewellery tools
- If the ring becomes stuck on your finger, seek professional assistance immediately rather than forcing it off
- Have your ring professionally inspected periodically to ensure the integrity of the metal and coating
