FAQ
Q: What makes tungsten carbide ideal for wedding bands?
A: Tungsten carbide is one of the hardest metals available for jewellery, rating 8.5 to 9 on the Mohs hardness scale. This exceptional hardness means your ring will resist scratches and maintain its polished finish through years of daily wear, making it perfect for those with active lifestyles or hands-on professions.
Q: Will the black finish wear off over time?
A: The black finish on this tungsten ring is not a coating or plating — it's created through a permanent ion plating process that bonds the colour to the tungsten carbide at a molecular level. This means the black finish is extremely durable and will not chip, flake, or fade with normal wear.
Q: Can tungsten rings be resized?
A: Due to the extreme hardness of tungsten carbide, these rings cannot be resized using traditional jewellery methods. We recommend having your finger professionally sized before purchase. Visit our Mall of the South boutique where our team can ensure you select the perfect size for comfortable, long-term wear.
Q: Is tungsten carbide hypoallergenic?
A: Yes, tungsten carbide is hypoallergenic and an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin or metal allergies. Unlike some metals that contain nickel, tungsten carbide rings are safe and comfortable for daily wear, even for extended periods.
Q: How heavy is a tungsten ring compared to gold or titanium?
A: Tungsten carbide is noticeably heavier than gold, titanium, or silver. This substantial weight gives the ring a premium, luxurious feel on the finger. Many wearers appreciate this heft as it serves as a constant, reassuring reminder of their commitment.
Q: Can I get this ring engraved?
A: Due to the extreme hardness of tungsten carbide, traditional engraving methods cannot be used. However, laser engraving on the interior of the ring is possible. Contact us at Cassim & Co. to discuss personalisation options for your tungsten wedding band.
Q: What should I do if my tungsten ring gets damaged?
A: While tungsten carbide is incredibly scratch-resistant, it can crack or shatter if subjected to extreme force or impact. If your ring is damaged, contact us at Cassim & Co. We stand behind the quality of every piece we sell and will work with you to find the best solution.

Care Guide
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe your tungsten ring with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils, dirt, and everyday residue. This simple routine will keep your ring looking brilliant.
- Deep Cleaning: For a more thorough clean, use warm water with a drop of mild dish soap. Gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely with a soft cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: While tungsten carbide is highly resistant to corrosion, avoid exposing your ring to harsh chemicals such as bleach, chlorine, or abrasive cleaning agents, as these may affect the black finish over time.
- Remove During Heavy Impact Activities: Although tungsten is extremely hard and scratch-resistant, it can crack or shatter under extreme impact. Remove your ring during activities like heavy weightlifting, rock climbing, or working with heavy machinery.
- Safe Storage: Store your tungsten ring separately from other jewellery to prevent scratching softer metals. A fabric-lined jewellery box or soft pouch is ideal.
- Avoid Extreme Temperature Changes: While tungsten carbide is highly durable, sudden extreme temperature changes can cause stress. Remove your ring before activities involving rapid heating or cooling.
- Regular Inspections: Periodically inspect your ring for any signs of damage or wear. If you notice any issues, bring it to our Mall of the South boutique for professional assessment.
