Tungsten Treasure has launched a website featuring its new range of designer Tungsten Carbide Jewelry for both men and women.

Fayetteville, North Carolina, April 28, 2008 – Tungsten carbide is a relatively new material in the jewelry industry. It has only recently been used in manufacturing jewelry. Due to its hypoallergenic (lower allergic tendency) nature and due to its extreme hardness, it is not apt to lose its luster like other polished metals and is slowly becoming popular among the jewelry designers and the people wearing them. A ring or bracelet made from Tungsten Carbide will never need polishing and it is virtually scratchproof.

History of Tungsten

The word Tungsten in Swedish and Danish means "heavy stone." The current name for the element is Wolfram and was founded by Peter Woulfe in 1779 who examined wolframite.

Gold, silver and platinum like Tungsten are heavy elements. It is naturally occurring and is an important element responsible for the development of human civilization. Without tungsten we would not have the filament inside the incandescent light bulb. Tungsten gives the filament the toughness and resilience exceeding any other metal. In 1922 the Germans developed Tungsten Carbide as the material used in making better cutting tool bits for precision milling and cutting of steel.

Tungsten has the highest melting point of all the elements at 6,700 degrees F (3,420 degrees C). Its permanent attributes deem it to be the hardest metal on the planet.

Today tungsten carbide jewelry is being preferred by many people, which is attributed to its toughness and strength. Although tungsten is primarily used in mechanical industry applications, it is quickly gaining popularity as a durable, long lasting, material used in jewelry.
