5.0 out of 5 stars Honest review from a skeptic consumer, July 15, 2008

This review is from: Polished Tungsten Carbide Ring (6.0 mm) - Sizes 5-13 (Jewelry)

I had an expensive platinum ring for the last 3 years and needed to change it because it was scratched up pretty badly. I polished it twice but the shine never seems to stay for long. So now I needed a wedding band which had a polished look, felt heavy and did not look cheap. I am a very skeptical shopper and so I read all available reviews online and do a heavy amount of research before I make a purchase. Needless to say I read reviews, albeit not many available, about similar rings on Amazon. I figured I don't have much to lose with this price and if I didnt like it I could always go to a store and purchase a ring for 3-4 times this money. Sice I liked it a lot from the one photo on the Amazon, I went ahead and purchased it on July 10th, it was shipped on the 11th and received it on the 14th. Fast shipping!.

Now some good old pros and cons.

Pros:
- It came in a cute blue gift box unlike the not so pretty one displayed on the webpage.
- It is polished and a comfort fit with a nice dome.
- It is as heavy as my 3mm platinum ring but looks a lot cooler.
- Me and my wife did not believe our eyes as to how good this ring really looks (the pictures DO NOT do justice I repeat they do not do justice to this excellent ring).
- Incase you are wondering... NO I am not paid by the company to do this review. I figured since there are no reviews for this I'll be the first one, besides it deserves the true compliments and people need to know about it.
- What I love most about it is it's not as silvery looking as a platinum ring but rather looks very fashionable and professional. I will definitely purchase more from this seller...heck with this price you can purchase a new ring once every 2-3years.

Cons:
Believe me I really don't think there are any.

This review is from: Polished Tungsten Carbide Ring (6.0 mm) - Sizes 5-13 (Jewelry)

A year and a half ago, my wife and I were getting married. She's a sculptor so we were looking for rings that wouldn't lose there splendor. She read quite a bit about the different metals and she became quite content with what she'd read about tungsten. Well, every jewelry store we went to, we soon learned very quickly that male jewelry salesman care very little about the customer and more about their commission. We were instructed that tungsten was more for construction workers and not for women. He then began to show us rings that she had no interest in. We also discovered that no jewelry store carried a thin tungsten band and the thinnest they did carry (6mm) cost around $240.00

Finally, after many failures, I decided to check out Amazon.com. I couldn't believe the price that West Coast Jewelry was offering and researched them HEAVILY. Since the price was right (around $50.00), my wife and I ordered to rings and the sizes we thought we were.

The shipping...my God. It arrived in four days. After trying them on, we found that they weren't the sizes that we'd ordered. Customer service was EXTREMELY helpful and exchanged the rings at no hassle. After receiving the rings AGAIN, my wife's fit perfectly while mine was a bit to large.

Instead of shipping it back for a replacement, I decided to just order another as the price was so low. I wore the larger ring for a couple weeks to test out its wear and tear. Amazingly, I couldn't create not even ONE scratch. My brother-in-law didn't believe me so e decided to take a pair of tin snips to it with my permission. The ring BENT the tin snips. He was now determined. After placing it in a vice and cranking it tighter and tighter, the ring shatter after far more pressure than I thought it would take. That's the ONLY warning I have about this ring. If you plan on buying tungsten, which I strongly suggest, keep in mind that if you were to break your hand or wrist IMMEDIATELY REMOVE THE RING!!! The doctors won't be able to cut the ring off so I'm only assuming they'd have to put your hand in a vice :)

We love the rings and look forward to seeing them shine 50 years from now the same way they do now.

I needed to find a suitable replacement for my wedding ring of 27 years. This band is worthy of the honor. It is a great looking ring- handsome & substantial. The beautiful warm color & ultra smooth finish gives it a prominent yet refined appearance. It is a surprisingly good value considering the modest price. Well suited for that special occasion.
