Cobalt Wedding Rings by SK Cobalt vs. Tungsten Rings
Tungsten Carbide Rings are Wedding Bands that are made from tungsten powder and carbon sintered with nickel, which contains small voids. These voids make the ring even weaker if it has diamonds embedded in it, or has been artistically grooved or notched. The Tungsten Carbide Wedding Ring simply cannot bend, so a sharp impact can break these Wedding rings.
Most of the wedding rings that Tungsten Carbide supplies offer a lifetime guarantee. The reason for this is that if your wedding band cracks, chips or breaks, it must be replaced completely. Additionally, if the wearer of the ring gains weight, the Tungsten Carbide ring cannot be altered to compensate for this increase in ring size. If a Tungsten Carbide ring was purchased strictly for fashion purposes, then this issue would not be important. However, if this is the wedding band which you took your vows over, and have made a lifelong commitment with, it is very important.
Marriage is meant to last forever, and so is your wedding band. A wedding ring is not something that can simply be replaced. Why would you purchase a wedding ring or band that may not last forever, or that cannot be repaired if it breaks?
After doing some research on the internet, Scott Kay openly described how angry he was about Tungsten Carbide’s shortcomings as a wedding band material. His findings include YouTube videos, as well as advertising campaigns that described tungsten carbide wedding bands as being "indestructible."
“When I read on the Internet that tungsten rings, and tungsten carbide wedding rings in particular, are unbreakable or indestructible, I have a serious problem with that” Kay says. “I have a problem with tungsten carbide for producing a wedding ring without 100% disclosure that it can break when it falls on the floor. I have no problem with tungsten carbide in and of itself. I do have a problem, however, with anything less than 100 percent disclosure in the usage of tungsten carbide for bridal jewelry”.
Scott Kay has introduced SK Cobalt Jewelry, which is made with BioBlu27™ Cobalt alloy. It is 3.5 times harder than platinum, making it extremely durable and highly scratch resistant. SK Cobalt Jewelry is 100% solid and will not break. Never compromise on the wedding ring that you take your vows over. Brittle should never be a trait associated with wedding jewelry.
