Tungsten Jewelry Care Guide

Welcome to RealTungsten—where strength meets style. Your new piece of tungsten jewelry is built to last a lifetime. With a little care, it will maintain its shine and integrity for years to come.

Why Tungsten?

Tungsten carbide is one of the hardest known materials on Earth, ranking around 9 on the Mohs scale. It is highly scratch-resistant, extremely durable, and maintains a permanent polish. However, like all fine jewelry, proper care will help preserve its appearance and quality.

Daily Wear Tips

• Avoid Impact with Hard Surfaces: Although tungsten is scratch-resistant, it is not indestructible. Dropping it on hard surfaces like concrete or ceramic tile may cause chips or cracks.
• Keep Away from Harsh Chemicals: Remove your ring or necklace when handling bleach, chlorine, or ammonia-based cleaners. These chemicals can damage the finish or cause skin irritation.
• Remove During Heavy Work or Sports: While tungsten is tough, forceful impacts during activities like weightlifting or construction work can damage the jewelry or pose a safety risk.

Cleaning Your Tungsten Jewelry

• Routine Cleaning: Use a soft cloth or microfiber towel to wipe down your jewelry regularly.
• Deep Clean: Mix a few drops of mild dish soap in warm water. Soak the jewelry for a few minutes, then gently clean with a soft toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth.
• Avoid Ultrasonic Cleaners: These can cause microfractures in the tungsten over time.

Storage Guidelines

• Use a Jewelry Box or Soft Pouch: Store your tungsten ring or necklace separately from other jewelry to prevent potential scratches or abrasions—especially from diamonds or other harder materials.
• Avoid Humid Environments: Keep your jewelry in a dry, cool place to prevent any moisture buildup, especially if it contains wood or carbon fiber inlays.

Special Care for Inlay Designs

If your tungsten jewelry features wood, abalone, carbon fiber, or other decorative inlays:

• Avoid Prolonged Water Exposure: Inlays can be sensitive to water, especially natural materials like wood or shell.
• Wipe Dry Immediately: If the jewelry gets wet, dry it immediately with a clean cloth.

Lifetime Durability with Timeless Style

Tungsten jewelry from RealTungsten is crafted for resilience and designed for life. With proper care, your piece will remain a bold, brilliant symbol of strength—day after day.
