Each ring starts out from a rough cast that looks exactly the same. Through intense labor and machining, the ring acquires its finished design, much like a statue is chiseled out of a solid block of rock. Hence, low prices equate to less time spent on making a precision ring. When comparing prices, the consumer should not only consider the cost to purchase the ring, but also the cost of owning the ring. Hidden Fees: Cost of ownership is something consumers never think about. They think once they purchase, that’s it, no more money will leave their pocket. Well, they could need a refund because they do not like the ring after all. They could need a different size because they made a mistake on their finger size. Something could happen to the ring and they need to replace it. When looking for a reputable on-line jeweler of tungsten rings wholesale, another sure way to tell if they carry high quality rings is by checking if they charge any fees for refunds, size exchanges, lifetime warranties and lifetime sizing.

This article will cover three things every consumer should attempt to find out before they purchase a ring from a jeweler. Purity: When purchasing Platinum, White Gold or Palladium Rings, people tend to ask about the purity of the metal used to make a ring. For example, they might ask if a gold ring is 14 karat or 18 karat. 18 karat is better because it is made of 75% gold whereas 14k is made of just 58.3% gold. Based on this logic, one would assume a 24 karat (100%) gold ring is even better. Well, not really. Jewelry made of pure gold is too soft and would easily bend that is why you will not find any pure gold rings at a reputable jewelry store. When it comes to Tungsten, an alloy with a purity of 85% Tungsten Carbide is the standard for producing the best quality rings. If there is too little the rings are not as hard and scratch-resistant as they could be. If there is too much tungsten carbide, the rings will become too brittle and crack easily. Ask your retailer what is the percentage of tungsten carbide in the rings they sell.

Customers often do not ask if there is a fee to exercise the lifetime warranty. They just assume it is free because, quite frankly it should be free. Then to their surprise when (not “if”) something does happen to these low quality rings, the consumer is slapped with a $50 fee to replace the ring. There are some unscrupulous retailers who shameless advertise they offer a Lifetime Warranty on their rings, but when you try to replace your defective tungsten band wholesale, they charge a $50 “deductible” which purportedly covers the cost of processing your replacement ring, not the cost of the ring itself. I doubt a consumer feels better about paying a $50 processing fee instead of a $50 fee to use the lifetime warranty. Reputable jewelers who stand behind the quality of their rings should offer a free lifetime warranty that is truly free. Jewelers who charge fees to replace rings have no incentive to carry the best quality rings because they actually make more money when the consumer wants to replace their inferior tungsten rings. These kinds of jewelers are really just interested in locking you into a lifetime commitment of paying those fees. If there is no extra revenue to be made off of consumers who exercise their lifetime warranties, then the jeweler has every incentive to carry only the best quality tungsten rings.
