How to Clean and Maintain Your Tungsten Ring
Tungsten’s low-maintenance reputation is earned, but eternity demands minimal effort. Daily care: rinse under warm water with mild dish soap (Dawn works). Use a soft toothbrush for wedding rings inlays—gentle circles, 10 seconds max. Rinse, pat dry with microfiber. Done in 30 seconds.
Weekly deep clean: fill a bowl with 1:1 water and white vinegar. Soak 5 minutes. Ultrasonic cleaners? Only if jewelry-safe (avoid wood or opal inlays). Harsh chemicals—bleach, ammonia, chlorine—will strip PVD coatings. Skip pool dips in chlorinated water.
Scratches? Impossible on pure tungsten carbide. Black coatings can scuff; buff lightly with a Cape Cod cloth. Inlays like wood or carbon fiber: apply mineral oil quarterly with a Q-tip to prevent cracking.
Storage: tungsten bands individual velvet pouches prevent micro-abrasions from diamonds. Travel? Silicone ring swap for extreme sports.
Emergency removal: tungsten shatters under vice pressure (jewelers use a $20 ring cracker). Keep instructions in your wallet.
Yearly pro polish? Unnecessary. Your ring outlasts trends—treat it like the tank it is.
