I'm super annoyed. My husband's beautiful shiny tungsten ring finally got a tiny scratch on it. It's a tiny tiny scratch, but he was disappointed and was not pleased with my jokes about it representing a scratch on our marriage. Haha. So just a warning to you all--it CAN scratch, but it is more difficult to scratch. He works with piping and fire systems and uses his hands a lot, so if you husband doesn't do a lot of work with his hands, he's probably safe with a non-scratched tungsten ring!
