Tungsten is a metal known for its exceptional hardness and its very high melting point, the highest among all pure metals. This combination of properties makes it extremely resistant to wear and corrosion.
One of the main characteristics of tungsten is its density, which is almost twice that of steel, giving it a unique strength.
Use in jewellery:
Engagement and wedding rings: The hardness and strength of tungsten make it ideal for engagement and wedding rings that must last over time without scratching or deforming.
Men's jewellery: Due to its robustness, tungsten is often used to create men's jewellery, such as bracelets and necklaces, able to withstand heavy daily use.
Modern designs: Its silvery grey appearance and the possibility of being worked with satin or polished finishes make it perfect for jewellery with a modern and industrial design.
Decorative details: Tungsten can be used to create decorative details on jewellery, thanks to its ability to maintain a smooth and shiny appearance over time.
The tungsten sold by Banco Villa is available in a variety of forms, such as bars and powders, to meet the specific needs of jewellers. This metal is essential in the creation of high quality jewellery, ensuring not only beauty, but also functionality and durability.
