5 minute read
If you’re looking for a durable, scratch-resistant, and stylish wedding band, you can’t go wrong with tungsten. Tungsten is one of the hardest metals on earth, and it has a sleek and modern look that suits any style. At Bands 4 Bros, we offer a wide range of men’s tungsten wedding bands and engagement rings, from classic to contemporary, with various colors, finishes, and inlays to choose from. Whether you prefer a simple black band, a gold-plated ring, or a unique design with wood, antler, or turquoise, we have something for you.
But how do you keep your tungsten ring looking as good as new? You might think that such a tough metal doesn’t need much care or maintenance, but there are still some things you should know and do to preserve its beauty and quality. In this blog post, we’ll share with you some tips and tricks on how to care for your tungsten wedding band, so you can enjoy it for a lifetime.
Cleaning Your Tungsten Ring
One of the best things about tungsten rings is that they are very easy to clean. Unlike other metals that might require special cleaners or polishing tools, tungsten rings can be cleaned with just soap and water. Here’s how to do it:
- Fill a small bowl with warm water and add a few drops of mild dish soap. You can also use hand soap or baby shampoo, but avoid anything that contains harsh chemicals such as ammonia, bleach, or chlorine as they can damage your ring.
- Dip a soft toothbrush or cloth into the soapy water and gently scrub your ring, paying attention to any grooves or details where dirt or grease might accumulate. If your ring has a matte or brushed finish, make sure to scrub in the same direction as the grain.
- Rinse your ring under running water and dry it with a clean, lint-free cloth. You can also use a hair dryer on a low setting to remove any moisture.
- Repeat this process whenever you notice your ring getting dirty or dull. You don’t need to do it every day, but it’s a good idea to do it at least once a month or before a special occasion.
Polishing Your Tungsten Ring
Another great thing about tungsten rings is that they don’t tarnish or fade over time. However, if you want to give your ring an extra shine you can use a polishing compound. A polishing compound is a paste or cream that contains fine abrasives that can buff out imperfections and restore the luster of your ring. You can find it at any hardware store or online, and it usually costs less than $10. Here’s how to use it:
- Apply a small amount of the polishing compound to a soft cloth or a cotton pad. You don’t need a lot, just enough to cover the surface of your ring.
- Rub the cloth or pad over your ring in a circular motion, applying gentle pressure. You should see any scratches or scuffs disappear and the shine come back.
- Wipe off any excess compound with a clean cloth and admire your ring’s new look.
Do this only when necessary, as too much polishing can wear down your ring over time. You can also use a handheld rotary tool with a polishing attachment, but be careful not to overdo it or damage your ring.
Protecting Your Tungsten Ring
The last thing you need to know about caring for your tungsten ring is how to protect it from damage. While tungsten is very hard and resistant to scratches, it is not indestructible. It can still crack or shatter if it is exposed to extreme force or pressure, such as dropping it on a hard surface, hitting it with a hammer, or squeezing it in a vise. To prevent this from happening, you should:
- Remove your ring when doing any heavy-duty work, such as gardening, hardscaping, carpentry, or plumbing. You should also take it off when playing contact sports, lifting weights, or using any machinery that might catch your ring.
- Store your ring in a safe place when you’re not wearing it, such as a jewelry box, a pouch, or a drawer. Avoid leaving it on the counter, the sink, or the floor, where it might get knocked over.
- Buy a warranty for your ring when you purchase it from us. While every tungsten ring comes with a one year warranty, we recommend upgrading your peace of mind with our Lifetime Warranty which covers any accidental damage, such as cracking, breaking, or chipping. If anything happens to your ring, we’ll replace it for free, no questions asked!
