Tungsten used in rings is actually tungsten carbide, tungsten does not acquire its extreme hardness until it is combined with a carbon alloy, transforming it into tungsten carbide (WC). The natural color of tungsten carbide is a very appealing light gray, very similar to the color of steel.

A method of adding more contrast to mens tungsten wedding bands is to find a style with an inlaid design. The inlaid design first requires a grove or grooved design be etched into the tungsten carbide ring. Then the grove is then filled with another metal, typically it will consist of bronze, platinum, or gold, but sometimes you can even find mokume ('wood grain metal') designs. The contrast between the tungsten and inlay metal draws attention to the ring and looks beautiful.

Note: The downside to having a inlaid ring is in the difference in physical properties between the tungsten and the other metal. No other metal will be as strong and scratch resistant as tungsten carbide and care must not be taken to protect the inlaid materials.

Tungsten is a hard and dense metal, mined from Wolframite ore and symbolized by a (W) on the periodic table of elements. At a melting point 6,100 degrees Fahrenheit it has the highest melting point of all metals.

Pure tungsten, like all metals is vulnerable to scratches and damage, such as titanium and steel. Tungsten gains its extreme hardness only after the tungsten alloy is combined with a carbon alloy, transferring it into tungsten carbide (WC). On the Mohs hardness scale tungsten carbide (WC) has a hardness between 8.5 and 9.5.
