domed tungsten ring

Our tungsten mens rings are all comfort fit.

is the difference between comfort fit rings and standard fit rings?

Our black tungsten and tungsten mens rings all feature a comfort fit design.  This means that these rings are rounded on the inside.  This allows for the ring to be more comfortable to wear for extended periods of time.  Standard fit rings are flat on the inside; therefore they fit differently than comfort rings.  For those that are a finger size 7 or above on a standard fit ring sizer (which looks like many rings on a keychain), we recommend that they drop down half of a finger size.  Please keep in mind that this is only a recommendation and that there are exceptions to this recommendation.

If you would like more information, please visit our information page on tungsten ring sizing.

Our tungsten wedding ring collection is cobalt-free. Our rings contain a nickel binder, which is hypo-allergenic.

If you have been searching for your dream tungsten wedding ring, it is no surprise that you have encounter many words or phrases that you have never heard of before.  Phrases like “nickel binder” or “cobalt-free,” for example.  At Tungsten Rings and Bands, we feel that it is our obligation to educate our customers about what our tungsten wedding ring styles have to offer and why ours tungsten carbide wedding band designs are your perfect choices.

A tungsten carbide wedding band is made from tungsten carbide.  Tungsten carbide is a chemical compound that is created with tungsten and carbon, and a binder material.  Some companies create their tungsten wedding ring styles with cobalt as their binder material.  Cobalt is a cheap filler material, which may cause skin irritations, such as blisters, redness, and itching.  We use nickel as our binder material because it is more hypo-allergenic.  When choosing your tungsten wedding ring, it is important that the ring is cobalt-free so that you will not have an allergic reaction when wearing the ring.

If you want to learn more about our tungsten carbide wedding band styles, you may visit our website or contact our customer service representatives at your convenience.
