Thorsten make a variety of rings using the strongest jewelry materials known including tungsten, ceramic, cobalt chrome, titanium or a combination of these. The company’s name pays homage to the Norse god Thor, known for the strength of his hammer and his connection to the power of thunder and lightning.
Thor’s hammer is said to crush mountains and tungsten, one of Thorsten’s primary ingredients, is used in the manufacturing of mining machinery that breaks through mountain rock. The company’s ceramic Wedding Bands are non-conductive; linking back to Thor’s relationship with lightning.
Thorsten operates using a Swedish philosophy of design that combines function with aesthetics. All of Thorsten’s rings are made in a ‘comfort fit’ style. A buyer can wear a Wedding Band with its stylish design and fit every day without needing to take it off.
Thorsten also makes its rings to be as maintenance free as possible: there is no need to purchase extra cleaning products or expensive recoating. Rings made of materials like tungsten and ceramic only require a wearer to wipe the ring with a damp cloth if it gets dusty.
The brand consistently offers innovative designs by incorporating unique inlays to the tungsten or ceramic Wedding Bands. They use materials such as wood, carbon fiber or camo which make a unique style Wedding Band. For those who want something that sparkles beyond the reflection of the tungsten’s shine, they also offer a line of Wedding Bands with diamonds.
All Thorsten rings come in a large variety of sizes and most rings come in a few different widths so buyers can select the ring that most represents them. Thorsten also provides ring boxes and the choice of styles includes contemporary, traditional, wide, and flat.
Tungsten Carbide is also known as wolfram and is one of the hardest metals on earth. Tungsten rings are forged together at 2,552℉ and are known for their superior scratch resistance and heavy weight to form rings that are scratch resistant, virtually indestructible, and always look permanently polished. Nickel is used in combination with tungsten carbide to create beautiful and durable wedding bands available in various shades, colors, and inlays.
A tungsten ring can be removed by cracking it into pieces with the firm’s exclusive Ring Cracker. Tungsten Rings are the most wear-resistant rings available.
Tungsten is about 10 times harder than 18K Gold, 5 times harder than tool steel, and 4 times harder than titanium. Due to their extreme hardness, Tungsten Rings will hold their shape and shine longer than any ring on the market.
Titanium bands are made of 99.9% pure surgical implant quality titanium. This lightweight, yet durable metal has a silvery gray color and is hypoallergenic. Using an electric ring cutter, the company cuts the ring at two opposite sides, the 12:00 and 6:00 positions. Once ring is cut, the ring comes off in two halves.
Ceramic is a nonmetallic material that is durable and can be crafted into non-conductive wedding bands. Ceramic rings are much lighter in weight than tungsten rings but do have similar scratch resistance.
Ceramic rings are rated at 8/10 on the Mohs scale of hardness. Ceramic is also be removed by cracking the ring into pieces with the Ring Cracker.

The company promotes the Dinosaur Bone Inlays by writing, “Over 65 million years in the making, each piece of agatized dinosaur bone used in our rings is from right here in the USA. Let everyone know how much you love dinosaurs. Say it loud with a dinosaur inlay ring!”
