Customer Reviews
This ring is perfect. Let me start off by saying that, like one of the other reviews says, it is a bit darker than the picture. For those of you shopping around, like I did, Tungsten Carbide seems to come in about 3 colors; Silver, Gunmetal, and Black (each progressilvey darker). This one is the GUNMETAL color. I was happy to read the review that clarified which this ring was since gunmetal was the color I wanted.
I'll spare you the description of the details of tungsten carbide rings (scratch resistant, can't be resized, etc), since I assume most of you are doing your research or already know, and stick to the quality of the ring.
When I started looking for a wedding band, I knew I wanted tungsten carbide. I began looking online for prices and styles. I started looking at some of the larger jewelry stores online, found this style and loved it, as did my fiance. Prices seemed to range from $300 to $350, not bad for a wedding ring I thought, at first glance. Next I searched Amazon and found this ring, for $14.99. About 1/20th the cost for those calculating. I was surprised, and skeptical, to say the least. I know jewelry stores are out to make money, but that kind of markup, I couldn't beleive.
Before committing to buy anything I wanted to see some of these rings in person. So my fiance and I went to some of the Jewelry stores in our area to check them out. As I suspected, they all had pretty much the same rings, and the prices were like the websites, $300 to $350. Some places even had it as high as $450 and $500. Absurd for an industrial metal that is 50% carbon. And I am talking this exact style, no diamonds or anything of that sort. Needless to say, I didn't buy anything that day.
Still feeling like there was something I was missing, we figured, hey, its worth a shot, and a $15 risk is nothing in the grand scheme of things. Still a bit skeptical, we ordered this ring and crossed our fingers.
When it arrived, we were thrilled. This ring is exactly, EXACTLY, the same as the rings I was looking at with $300 price tags. Perfect in every way.
If you are reading this review, and are skeptical like I was, order it. You will not be disappointed.
On a side note, with the money I saved by purchasing this ring, I got a fantastic Bulova Diamond watch to wear on my wedding day (Also on Amazon, and for 1/2 the price of the jewelry stores). Her ring we did not purchase online, since hers is white gold with diamonds, and precious metals and jewels we wanted to be able to see in person.
I wanted to get matching wedding bands for my impending wedding and I decided to surprise my fiance with something different than the traditional metals. I saw the photo of this ring and fell in love with it. I bought two rings. I thought it would match my engagement ring but it didn't. The pic is deceiving. The ring arrived waaay too dark, for one. It looked more like a steel ring. When I looked at the packaging, it said "Tungsten Carbide" on the box, but the little tag around the ring itself said "Tungsten Steel". Well which one is it?! Well, guess what? I don't care. They're going back. If you don't mind a dark steel looking ring, then you'll be happy. But if you want something more on the side of silver or white gold colored, shop elsewhere. In case you're wondering what is the difference between tungsten carbide and tungsten steel, read this:
"When tungsten is alloyed in small quantities with steel, it greatly increases its hardness and forms tungsten steel that is stable at high temperatures. Tungsten steel is one of important high speed steels. High speed steel, an alloy that combines several metals, is used in high speed applications. Tungsten and molybdenum are two general metals in the combinations. Compared with tungsten carbide, tungsten steel has better flexibility. Tungsten steel alloys are widely used for the manufacture of high speed cutting tools such as taps, dies, twist drills, reamers, and saw blades, as well as rocket engine nozzles."
Exactly. The rings have the same surface color as a saw blade.
