Wondering what makes the One Good Ring 2 so tough and low-maintenance? It’s all thanks to one superstar material: tungsten steel. If you’re like us and want your ring to look fresh without constantly worrying about scratches or breaks, keep reading!

What is Tungsten Steel?

Tungsten steel (aka tungsten carbide) is what they use in tools that cut through other metals, in aerospace components, and yes, in rings that are made to last. It’s forged from tungsten and carbon, and the result is one of the hardest, most durable materials used in accessories! 


We’re talking seriously tough. Like, you-can-drop-it-and-it-won’t-flinch tough.

  • Hard AF : Tungsten steel is way harder than gold, silver, or even titanium. It scores an 8-9 on the Mohs hardness scale, meaning it laughs in the face of scratches.

  • Drop-Test Approved: Life happens — sometimes your ring slips off while washing your hands or fumbles onto the floor. Tungsten steel can handle it; it is built to survive whatever life throws at it.

  • Keeps That Shine: Tungsten holds its polish, which means less maintenance and more shine

  • Good News for Sensitive Skin: Tungsten steel is generally hypoallergenic.
