I have a tungsten wedding ring and the weirdest thing about it is how it bounces (on the occasions when it’s flown out of my hand - I don’t make a habit of doing so normally).

It’s dense/heavy so seeing it bounce so well is somewhat paradoxical.

(Side note: it may be impossible to cut through in case of an emergency but your finger is not.)



I believe you can shatter then with vice grips in an emergency.

Was seriously considering tungsten recently, but ended up going with titanium for this exact reason.
