With Tungsten Rings - Higher Prices

With tungsten rings, higher prices actually do somewhat reflect higher quality. Tungsten rings are unique because they are made in a different fashion from most precious metal rings. Due to the high cost of gold and platinum, for example, individual molds are created for each ring style and then molten metal is poured into the molds. Once the metal cools and hardens, it is nearly finished, requiring only minimal polishing work and finish. This leads to less material waste and labor spent polishing and grinding the ring into the desired shape.

Tungsten rings, on the other hand, cannot be made with molds because of tungsten's unique extreme hardness. Instead, each ring starts out from a rough cast that looks exactly the same. Through intense labor and machining, the ring acquires its final distinctive finished design, similar to a statue that is chiseled out of a solid block of rock. Therefore, more time, labor, and work will likely produce higher quality rings, and also equates with higher costs. Rings that retail for less than $100 reflect lower costs, but usually translate to lower quality.
