Yes I have a cheapie tungsten carbide ring from a well-known online retailer. I’ve had to replace it once after several years of minor nicks and scratches. I get lots of compliments on it! I only take it off when I have to wear gloves for work.

tungsten carbide

nicks and scratches

How confident are you on that first point?

It’s the superficial coloring layers that get scratched or faded over the course of years. Hence the need for a new one. So yes I’m confident the ring is tungsten carbide.
