Tungsten Through History: From Missiles to Marriage
What Is Tungsten, Really?
Tungsten isn’t just some fancy metal that looks good in a ring. Discovered in the 1700s, it’s known for having the highest melting point of all metals — over 6,000°F. That made it a go-to for serious tasks: cutting tools, light bulb filaments, and even military armor.
War Zones and Welding Torches
For decades, tungsten was used in places most people would never see — the inside of rocket nozzles, drill bits, and tank armor. Its ability to withstand pressure, heat, and impact made it a quiet hero of the industrial age.
Even today, tungsten is used in aerospace, mining, and medical tools. But that industrial toughness? It found a surprising second life…

In the early 2000s, jewelry designers realized tungsten wasn’t just strong — it was beautiful. When polished, it shines with a mirror-like finish. When brushed, it looks clean and modern. And best of all? It doesn’t scratch easily, which is exactly what most guys want in a ring they’ll wear every day.
Suddenly, tungsten went from a tool of war… to a symbol of commitment.
