why are tungsten carbide rings $30-$50 vs. $300-$700 at jewelers?
I was browsing through engagement rings with the GF and I was looking at the mens wedding bands at a jeweler in the mall and I really liked the tungsten carbide rings they had for sale which were going for 300 to 700 bucks.
I go on ebay and I find the same styles of rings for 30 to 50 bucks. I would understand a 50 to 75 bucks cheaper online vs retailers, but Hundreds of dollars cheaper, what gives? are they fake, not well made?
If anyone has any input on this, let me know.
At first my husband and I wondered about that too. We did a lot of research and decided to buy our tungsten wedding bands online at http://www.larsonjewelers.com/ and here's what we found out.
At the mall and jewelry stores, they need to pay for operation costs like running the jewelry store, employees, rent for the building, and all that overhead. This pushes the price tag over hundreds of dollars.
Websites on the internet don't have to pay for all that so you get the same quality rings for a lower price.
Stay away from websites and ebay that sell tungsten carbide rings for less than $100 because those are most likely low quality rings made with cobalt and have less tungsten.

Tungsten carbide rings are the most wear durable rings. Tungsten carbide is an inorganic chemical compound which contains equal numbers of tungsten and carbon atoms. Tungsten carbide can be made by reacting tungsten and carbon at temperatures of around 2552 to 3632 degrees Fahrenheit (1400 to 2000 degrees C). Tungsten carbide is the most commonly used hard metal due to it’s very high hardness in relation to other metals. It's nearly indestructible and almost as hard as real diamond. A tungsten carbide ring is said to be four times harder than titanium, twice as hard as steel and almost impossible to scratch. So it is one of earth hardest and strongest metal that can endure high temperatures and its strength. This exact metal is hypoallergenic. When a ring is hypoallergenic it means it will not excite or
discolor a person’s finger that the ring is on.
The color of tungsten carbide is very similar to that of silver and white gold. Tungsten
carbide ring will never lose its polish and will not scratch under any condition. You can wear a tungsten ring anywhere and never have to worry about scratching it. The polish and finish can last as long as your lifetime. So you will continue to enjoy you ring for life.
