Tungsten Alloy Carbide Rings
#1
Like usual they aren't telling you everything and actually lies about some of the facts. Tungsten Carbide is a ceramic and not a metal. Very similar to glass or pottery. It is a very brittle material although very hard. It can not be deformed but will shatter when subjected to high stresses. To be used as a material for jewelry it must be ground to a fine powder and combined with a softer metal as a composite. Although they refer to cobalt as being bad, they still have to use another metal most likely nickel. All binder material have much poorer anti-corrosion properties than either gold, silver or titanium. And frankly for jewelery corrosion properties is probably the most important.
