The meteorite is genuine iron meteorite, crushed into small fragments, set in clear resin and ground level with the metal; the flecks vary in size and the pattern is unique to each band. Iron meteorite can oxidize if it is kept wet, which is the one care rule that matters on this ring. Our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aquamarise.com\/blogs\/journal\/meteorite-wedding-bands-complete-guide\"\u003ecomplete guide to meteorite wedding bands\u003c\/a\u003e covers where the iron comes from and how it wears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eYellow Gold Tungsten\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band is tungsten carbide with a yellow gold finish bonded to the metal by ion plating, which is a different thing from the thin electroplate on a fashion ring: it is a hard ceramic-metal layer that takes daily wear well and does not tarnish. It is not solid gold, and the listing price reflects that. Heavy abrasion over years can show at the edges, and the color cannot be re-plated at home, so treat the band like any polished ring rather than a tool. If you want the real metal, our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aquamarise.com\/collections\/mens-gold-rings\"\u003emen's gold rings\u003c\/a\u003e are the place to look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Tungsten\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTungsten carbide sits around 8.5–9 on the Mohs scale, several times harder than gold or titanium, so the finish still looks like this after years of daily work where a precious-metal band would have gone soft with scratches. It is also heavy in the hand, which most people read as quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trade-off is worth knowing before you buy: tungsten cannot be resized, and it cannot be bent. Under enough force it fractures rather than deforming. That is also a safety feature, since a tungsten ring can be cracked off in an emergency in seconds.

Skip polishing compounds and silver cloths, which are abrasive. Keep the ring out of chlorinated pools and away from bleach and solvents, which attack the resin holding the inlay, and keep the ring dry: the meteorite is iron and will oxidize if it is soaked repeatedly, so take it off for swimming, showers and dishwashing. Onyx is porous, so keep it away from bleach as well. Take it off for heavy lifting: tungsten resists scratches, but a hard impact against concrete or steel can crack it. Never use an ultrasonic cleaner on an inlay ring.
