Tungsten carbide rings are made from tungsten and
carbide powders, resulting in an indestructible, scratch-proof metal. The metal
is used to create rings, wedding bands and bracelets. Tungsten is a rare metal
that, according to titanium-jewelry.com, is almost 10 times harder than
18-karat gold, five times harder than tool steel and four times harder than titanium.
Tungsten carbide rings require little care, although cleaning is required to
remove dirt, exposure to chemicals, soap residue and fingerprints.
Instructions
1.
Combine 1 cup of warm water with ½ tbsp. liquid
dish soap in a bowl or cup. Submerge the tungsten carbide ring in the water for
five minutes.
2.
Lift the ring above the bowl or cup. Rub a
toothbrush or cloth over the ring to gently clean any remaining grime or
buildup from the ring.
3.
Rinse the ring in cool water to remove any
remaining soap residue.
4.
Rub the ring with a soft or microfiber cloth to
dry it and prevent water spots.
Tips
& Warnings
Tungsten carbide metal is extremely strong and can
be cleaned with cool, warm or hot water. However, it is recommended you clean a
tungsten carbide ring with warm water, only because the warm water helps
dissolve the liquid dish soap.
Avoid using any jewelry cleaners, cleaning
solutions and cleaning products when cleaning Tungsten carbide rings.
Chemicals, such as ammonia, bleach and chlorine react poorly with the
composition of tungsten, which can damage the ring. Prior to working with any
of these chemicals, remove the ring or wear protective rubber gloves. Should
your ring come in contact with any of these chemicals, rinse it immediately.
