Classic Tungsten on alternative metals
Tungsten rings are the most wear-resistant rings available on the earth. Due to their extreme hardness, tungsten rings will hold their shape and shine longer than any ring on the market.
Tungsten carbide is a very hard and dense metal. At 6,100 degrees Fahrenheit, tungsten has the highest melting point of all metals. Tungsten alone is vulnerable to scratches and damage just like any other metal, but it gains its extreme hardness by being combined with a carbon alloy. It then transforms into tungsten carbide, with a hardness between 8.5 and 9.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. (Diamonds are a 10, which is the highest). The resulting metal is designed into tungsten carbide wedding bands that are not only visually stunning, but durable enough to withstand everyday use and nearly impossible to scratch. Tungsten rings can only be damaged though extreme measures. In the event of an emergency, a tungsten ring can be removed by a medical professional.
All of the Classic Tungsten rings are cobalt-free. Other companies sell rings containing colbalt in them, but one should never purchase a ring with cobalt in it. Companies put it in rings because it is easy and cheaper to produce. Your skin can easily react to the cobalt, and after only one or two years with that ring it will show fading and tarnishing. Rings containing cobalt can also be easily scratched, cracked, and shattered.
Tungsten vs Other Metals
•	* Tungsten is four times harder than titanium, five times harder than tool steel, and about ten times harder than 18k gold
•	* Unlike tungsten, titanium can be easily scratched and bent
•	* Tungsten is heavier than titanium giving it a more luxurious, precious metal feel

Tungsten has the highest melting point of all the elements at 6,700 degrees F (3,420 degrees C). Its permanent attributes deem it to be the hardest metal on the planet. Today tungsten carbide is used throughout the world. Although its primary application is in the mechanical industry, it is quickly gaining popularity as a durable, long lasting, material used in jewelry.
Ceramic:
Known for toughness, durability and scratch resistance, hi-tech Ceramic has unlimited potential that stays polished forever. It has been the material of choice for the aerospace, medical, and dental industries for years. Our ceramic rings are very durable, and rank 9 on the Moh's hardness scale. Ceramic rings are comparable to tungsten carbide for durability, resistance to wear, and are highly scratchproof. These ceramic rings are half the weight of tungsten carbide rings. Each ring has a brilliant, non-plated black finish. Ceramic rings from Classic Tungsten carry all the beneficial attributes of the Tungsten ring, but without the additional weight. Ceramic rings are virtually scratch-resistant and are becoming quite popular because of its color and weight differentiation. The black ceramic can be finished to a shiny polish or given a satin finish. Showcasing its modern design, the black Ceramic men's ring makes a sophisticated wedding band or fashion accessory.
Titanium:
Titanium is a chemical element with the symbol Ti and atomic number 22. Sometimes called the “space age metal”, it has a low density and is a strong, lustrous, corrosion-resistant (including to sea water, and chlorine) transition metal with a silver color. Known for toughness and its light weight, Titanium wedding bands have become quite popular and is the perfect ring for someone who doesn't want much weight on their finger. Titanium is also hypoallergenic which means that those who are affected by the more traditional metals are now able to wear a ring again. Titanium will not discolor your skin or cause irritation to those allergic to other types of metal touching their skin. Titanium is more affordable than Gold and Platinum and is even less expensive than Tungsten and Ceramic. Titanium is a modern style that fits in today's modern world. For the style-conscious consumer, the Titanium wedding band may be the choice for you.
