| WHY DID WE CHOSE THE TRITON BRAND FOR TUNGSTEN:
You will notice that at Men’s Ring Store we only carry the Triton Brand of Tungsten rings. This is not by accident … we are one of a very few online sellers to have been granted the rights to sell this exclusive brand. Tungsten Carbide rings are patented under TC.850 and a number of other patents – seven in total. Many stores do not carry the patented brand of Tungsten Carbide rings – such as the Triton Collection – because they can buy knock-offs from overseas for less money. At Men’s Ring Store – you will never find a non-patented line of Tungsten Carbide rings – this ensures a quality you can rely on and a ring designed to truly last in its Permanently Polished © state for life! For more information about the Triton Tungsten Collection please call 801-755-1989 or email us at ringsales@live.com. You will receive a response within 24 hours.
Tungsten rings have taken the jewelry industry by storm.

Different finishes from matte to polished – narrow to wide – the answer is YES – we have that at mensringstore.com! And this rare and beautiful metal can be permanently polished – lasting for up to 50 years.
Why do men typically buy Tungsten instead of women? The Tungsten Carbide ring is a much heavier ring and is made to look and feel rugged and durable. Tungsten rings also have a more masculine design and tend to be worn on the left ring finger – not so much on the right hand.

Whatever the look you are trying to find in Tungsten rings – chances are you can find just the right one at mensringstore.com.

TUNGSTEN CARBIDE RINGS - MADE TO LAST:
Tungsten rings are made to be extremely durable and scratch-resistant. Simply put, Tungsten Carbide is a very hard, Cobalt-free, scratch-resistant material that when placed in the hands of skilled craftsmen, evolve into a ring of style and inspiration. Check out a number of different web sites or a video on You-Tube and you will see remarkable demonstrations of how resistant Carbide Tungsten rings are to scratches – even using a file – the file might scratch but not the Tungsten ring! Although surely not the only reason these newer Tungsten Carbide rings have become so popular, it is one of the many reasons.
Tungsten Carbide is many times harder than Gold, 5 times harder than Steel, and 4 times harder than Titanium! To give some perspective – on the Mohs’ hardness scale of minerals – Diamonds are rated 10 (the highest) while Tungsten is rated 8.5 to 9. The only materials that can scratch Tungsten rings are Diamonds and products containing the mineral Corundum. Tungsten and Carbon compounds are forged together at temperatures from 2,400 degrees F using a patented 30-step process. The ring is then polished using diamond polishing tools/wheels creating a finished product known for its permanent, beautiful finish!
Have you ever seen someone wearing a ring that looks scratched, dented, surface mars, dull, cheap or dirty – or worse yet rusted? More than likely this was not a Tungsten ring. Because of their inherent strength they tend to hold a polish almost indefinitely and are corrosion and rust-resistant as well. As we all know, Gold rings are much softer and tend to show scratches and dullness over time – not so with Tungsten rings. It’s rare indeed to find a beautiful ring that is resistant to scratches, yet truly maintenance free – the Men’s Ring Store Tungsten provides this lasting benefit.
To some who know that Tungsten provides the strength of steel, they wonder how can a material that provides such strength and durability be fashioned into a timeless masterpiece and be a compelling piece of jewelry also. This balance –strength and beauty - has come to symbolize the modern Tungsten ring and has proven to be at the heart of these ring’s popularity.
Choosing the Right Tungsten Ring:
How much do you want to spend for your Tungsten Carbide ring? $100? $500? $1,000? Generally speaking, brick and mortar retailers with their extremely high overheads need to price their jewelry – including Tungsten Carbide rings – at higher prices. The most reasonable prices are found online. And at mensringstore.com, we offer discounted prices and exclusively offer the Triton Brand of Tungsten Carbide rings known for their style and long-lasting quality.
To be sure, not all online ring sellers offer the same quality and it makes sense to find a source that provides a secure way of purchasing your products – such as PayPal – and one who has a transparent return policy. You’ll find the return policy pretty straightforward at Men’s Ring Store – you have 30 days to make sure you bought the right ring at the right price and in the right size or you can return it for a refund or an exchange. We also invite you to read about our lifetime warranty on all of our rings.
One word on Cobalt - many Tungsten Carbide rings have Cobalt manufactured into the process – Cobalt in many instances will produce a negative reaction to people’s skin. Furthermore, Cobalt-based rings can, when reacting with the human body, develop oxidation spots that are almost impossible to remove – even through polishing. At Men’s Ring Store – we do not carry any rings with Cobalt – we would not want to wear a ring that does and we assume you would not want to either!
Caring for Your Tungsten Ring:
As a reminder, Tungsten rings are virtually maintenance free. Tungsten rings are best cleaned with soap and water using a soft rag – avoid the use of harmful abrasive cleaners – even those used by retail jewelers.
A common misconception held concerning Tungsten Carbide rings is they cannot be removed in the course of emergency medical treatment, requiring the finger to be removed instead. Emergency rooms and many full-service jewelry repair shops are equipped with jewelers' saws that can cut through gold, silver, platinum, titanium, and tungsten carbide rings without injuring the patient when the ring cannot be slipped off easily. Tungsten Carbide rings can also be removed in an emergency situation by cracking them into pieces with standard vice grip–style locking pliers. – Wikipedia |
