I bought this ring for my husband, who isn't the type of guy to want to wear a wedding ring. We tried silver and he wouldn't wear it. Tungsten Carbide is used to make drill bits and other "manly" things, not to mention it won't turn your finger green and it is virtually scratch-proof. My husband hasn't taken it off yet and though try as he may, he has YET to leave a mark on it or have to clean it. I am completely happy with this product and am thinking of getting myself one to match! Awesome stuff.

I just got this ring today and I have to admit it is better looking than I expected. As other reviews on the other tungsten carbide rings mention these rings have a bit of weight to them and as for the scratch resistancy I haven't tried to scratch it yet. My only minor concern is there is no "TUNGSTEN" engraving on the inside of the ring, as depicted, but I will contact Peora about this and I am sure it's nothing major.

UPDATE (11/02/08): Peora responded to my concern and said "Thanks for your email, we guarantee that the metal is Tungsten, the factory simply forgot to put the mark Tungsten, we are sorry about this," so no harm no foul.

UPDATE (11/16/08): After wearing the ring on a daily basis for less than a month I have found several scratches on the brushed surface of the ring. I suspect these rings are not made with the nickel binder alloy which makes tungsten carbide so dense and hard to scratch. Tungsten carbide rings can be made with cobalt alloy or pure tungsten which lack the strength and durability properties of tungsten carbide rings with the nickel binder alloy.

I was expecting to never find any markings on my ring, but I am still happy with the price. If you plan on buying a tungsten carbide ring from Peora don't be surprised if you eventually find scratches on it.

I just received this ring today as a wedding band replacement for my husband and it is nice ring. I too agree that this ring is not bonded with nickel (I have worked in jewelry retail and I know my products) . The polished side does not scratch, but the brushed finish does (minor scratches). Thus this is the biggest sign that this ring is not what we thought we were purchasing. With the price being what it is I knew something was not quite right, but I had to find out for myself. Now if we had known that is ring was not the Tungsten Carbide you get from a jeweler i.e. Art Carved and that it is a lesser quality, then we would have been very happy in receiving it. I give the ring a 3 out of 5 stars. It is real Tungsten, true to its size, but it is a lesser quality than what I am used to handling. Remember " you get what you pay for"!

I am happy with this ring. I have worn it for over a year now, and it has almost no scratches. I play with it all the time, I throw it, drop it, use it to bang things, but it does not scratch. My wife has white gold (we have similar style rights) and hers is very scratched dispite the fact that she takes much better care of it. The ring is slightly darker than the picture, it looks the same color as a tungsten ring in a store. It seemed heavy at first but I have gotten used to it. The price is exceptional. I am very happy with this product.

The ring looks and feels great! The price was very affordable compared to other dealers and everyone I show thinks it cost $$$$$$$$.
