Tungsten metal is scientifically described as hard and dense. It would take a lot to melt this, with its boiling temperature leading up to 6,100 degrees Fahrenheit. Of all the other metals, this is actually the type with the highest melting point, making it even harder than steel. Because tungsten is that tough, it can take a lot of pressure and friction. In fact, only special industrial tools are required to cut through this type of metal.
Tungsten is used in the manufacture of rocket engines as it can withstand high temperature. It is also used in the manufacture of hiking gears and rollerblades, since the metal offers less wear and tear, aside from durability.
Jewellers have long discovered the qualities of tungsten metal. And in the modern age, they have decided to use this for the creation of contemporary jewellery. Hence, despite its composition as a tough industrial metal, tungsten jewellery is widely used in a fashionable or trendy way.
The beauty of this is that tungsten does not scratch, tarnish, nor fade in its lustre and shine, while other types of jewellery do. It can be worn casually, but it can also look sophisticated. There is a lot of versatility that goes with owning tungsten jewellery.
But since its metal, cleaning and care is still required. If you own any type of tungsten piece, remember that this must be stored in a pouch and wiped as often as possible to keep its quality. If you do this regularly, you retain the look of the jewellery as if it was bought only yesterday.

Unfortunately though, tungsten rings can be manufactured differently. Some jewellers may take a different route with creating a ring from this metal, as they sometimes they add other elements like cobalt. This can decrease the quality of the ring and some types turn green and leave a mark on the fingers.
