If your finger swells up inside a tungsten ring, EMT’s cannot cut through it with their normal tools. They have to use a high speed grinding tool. You or your loved one will not enjoy this procedure.
Did a jeweler tell you that so they could sell you something expensive? Tungsten rings are hard but brittle. They can be broken with a pair of vise grips, just like stone rings.
I wear a tungsten band. Always have to take it off before the gym or manual labor. I was told “in an emergency they can’t cut the ring so they may have to cut the finger”. It’s cool though, I barely use that one and I have like 9 others.

Don’t get tungsten rings.
A dremel won’t work on tungsten rings?
Sure, but a swollen finger is gonna feel it too. But apparently they’re designed to break safely now.
They make them with break points now.

Nah, I’ve never bought pricey jewelry. Just a thing I have seen several times online. That’s how you know it’s true.
Anyway, if that’s the case, good to know, thanks.
