8mm CZ and Tungsten Wedding Rings

High polish step edges and a matte finish offset the round CZ set into the band of this domed 8mm tungsten carbide wedding band. The method creating a distinctive finish on a very hard metal such as tungsten, which calls for polishing instruments made with diamond dust, is somewhat sophisticated but entirely worthwhile for the beautiful end result it produces. The difficulties of changing a material like tungsten is also the very reason it can be depended on not to scuff easily or ever tarnish. The process to set a stone into a tungsten ring is also very different than traditional jeweler's methods applied for metals that can be bent; for a tungsten ring with gems, an area slightly smaller than the stone is left open when the ring is forged, and the stone is then forced into the setting by machine.
