\"What<\/div>\n

There are two different types of tungsten metals on the market. One is simply called “tungsten<\/strong>“, the other is called “tungsten carbide<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

\nTungsten carbide is the best.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tungsten means…<\/h2>\n

\nThe word tungsten actually means “heavy stone<\/strong>” in Nordic<\/strong>. And when they say it’s heavy, they mean it.<\/strong> When customers pick up a tungsten ring for the first time, they are instantly surprised by the weight.<\/p>\n

\nAnd not only is tungsten heavy, but it’s extremely durable<\/strong> as well. That’s why jewelers love to do the file test.<\/p>\n

What’s the file test?<\/h2>\n

\nIt’s where the jeweler takes out a stainless steel file<\/strong> and attempts to scratch the tungsten ring<\/strong> with it. To see this demonstrated, make your way to a tungsten retailer, or watch a video on Youtube, as in the one here:<\/p>\n
