Search E-Bay for Tungsten Carbide ring. They range from $ .95 to $ 29.95. There was 1595 items found when I searched. All sizes and styles. That will give you an idea of its worth.

It depends on who made it. I found one by Artcarved recently, and when I found the retail price, they were asking $400 for it. Try to look it up on google and see if you can find your ring.

Found a Tungsten Carbide ring and was wondering what they are worth? I would have rather found gold but that is what I had found. Thanks for the reply
check out eBay. They don't bring much at all. Tiffany & Co. stainless go for about $100 just because of the name. I have several TC's collecting dust.....make me an offer lol!

I know Mumszie, that's what that site is TRYING to retail them at. On ebay they don't bring squat for the very same ring... It's worth whatever somone is willing to pay for it.

WHATS FUNNY IS EVERY SINGLE ONE IVE FOUND - WHEN IVE BROUGHT THEM TO WORK WITH SILVER AND GOLD
IVE HAD MEN AND WOMAN BOTH SAY THEY LIKE THE TUNGSTENS BEST - HAD HAD OFFERS FROM A DOZEN PEOPLE TO BUY THEM OFF OF ME
I THINK ITS THE WEIGHT THEY LIKE

Price on sites doesn't matter - what counts is what a person is willing to pay for that size, type of metal and style of ring. I seem to find 5-15 of those per year... and except for 1 or 2 the wife wants, I give them away to whomever can wear it.
Here is one I found Friday, 2 days ago (upper left) next to a small 14K ring I described somewhere else on Beach and Shallow water forum...on second thought the black ring is Steel, never mind. [But same applies to steel rings, too]

Gold/Platinum - 10
Silver - 16

Not much, figure a dollar to two... Like mood rings I don't even count them in ring find totals, I only count silver, gold, platinum, and palladium.

I've never found palladium. It's the most precious of the 4.

Scrap tungsten carbide is a big industry and there is a wide range of sources to obtain scrap carbide. At the large mines or oil and gas drilling companies they have contracts with scapers. Large machine shop factories produce a multitude of scap tungsten carbide cutting tools. Its that industrial that has the highest demand for new tungsten carbide and source of scrap tungsten carbide. I doesn't take a lot of tungsten carbide to make a pound as really dense and heavy.

Very surprised to find real diamonds in a tungsten last year. Value doesn’t matter, not planning on selling, just fun to look at and show people.

Sorry but odds are very low to be diamond, what makes you think they are diamonds, did you test them with a diamond tester that can tell you if they are real diamonds, Cubic Zirconia, or synthetic diamond? Odds are very high they are CZ.

The total diamond weight most times would be stamped on the inside of the ring.
