History of Tungsten

Tungsten has the highest melting point of all the elements at 6,700 degrees F (3,420 degrees C), its permanent attributes deem it to be the hardest metal on the planet.  Gold, silver and platinum like tungsten, is element #74, are heavy elements, tungsten is naturally occurring and is an important element responsible for the development of human civilization. Without tungsten, we would not have the filament inside the incandescent light bulb. 

In 1922 the Germans developed tungsten carbide as the material used in making better cutting tool bits for precision milling and cutting of steel. Today tungsten carbide is used throughout the world. Although its primary application is in the mechanical industry, it is quickly gaining popularity as a durable, long lasting, material used in jewelry.
