Benefits of Tungsten Rings
Tungsten rings cost significantly less than other materials. You can find a top-quality tungsten wedding ring for much cheaper than a gold, stainless steel, or platinum ring.
Tungsten rings also have surprising strength. They are highly resistant to heat but also to direct impact and scratching. If your job requires a great deal of physical labor, these rings might be a practical choice.
Another benefit of these rings is that they're hypoallergenic. Many ring materials feature common allergens, such as nickel. Because they lack these allergen components, Tungsten rings are excellent choices for people who get allergic reactions from certain metals.
Downsides of Tungsten Rings
While tungsten rings have many advantages, they also have a few disadvantages to consider. The worst inconvenience with these rings is that you can't resize them.
Most metal materials for rings are softer and more malleable, allowing jewelers to resize them with ease. However, tungsten is not a malleable material. As your fingers change size with age, you may find your ring no longer fits well.
How to Care for Tungsten Rings
Tungsten rings resist scratching and damage with ease but often attract stains since they come in a shiny finish. If you notice a blemish on your ring, don't worry! These rings are among the most low-maintenance on the market.
You can easily clean your ring with a damp cloth and mild detergent or soap. It may take a few minutes to remove marks. To check your progress, rinse the ring off to see if the spot is at all diminished. Keep working on it until the blemish vanishes for good.
Care write up by Patrick Adair
We send a simple to use collection vial that takes under a minute to fill and will use up a tiny fraction of available ashes (in most cases.)
Ordering a Spirit Piece is Super Simple:
- Add what items you want to your cart
- Check out via the shopping cart icon
- We'll generally have everything back to you within 6 weeks of the artist receipt of the kit (note this is dependent on when your provider submits the ashes)
We do not cover the cost of shipping the kits back to us; if you're sending to multiple artists your provider will have the option to send all kits to our Austin location. If this option is elected, please plan for an extra 1-2 weeks since we are grouping up orders and sending out the kits 1-2 times a month. You are of course welcome to send individual kits directly to the artist, just be aware each kit will need to be paid for. If you are only ordering from one kit, please send directly to the artist.
The ash will appear as small light grey specks along with occasional bubbles. If there is extra ash left over we can either scatter locally or return the ash to you via priority express mail as per instructions (additional costs will apply to cover the postage of returning ashes to you.)
Please keep in mind these are handmade just for you so there will be slight differences from piece to piece. Please note that if you order across styles you will be ordering from multiple artists so you may have to send out multiple kits.
All products can be infused with ash from both people and pets. We can combine ashes from multiple pets/people in one piece (mixing of ashes occurs on customer side.)
The kits are good for 18 months, there is no need to wait to have the ashes physically accessible before ordering the kit. We suggest having the kit ready for the ashes once they become available.
