  • Conflict-free precious metals and diamonds

It pays to know where your silver, gold and platinum are coming from. Before you buy a precious metal inlay ring from just anywhere, consider this.

In September of 2012, scandal threatened jewelers in New York City. Four 10-ounce gold bars purchased for nearly $100,000 in Manhattan’s Diamond District were not what they appeared to be. Despite documentation and serial numbers provided by the Russian sellers, upon further inspection the seemingly 99.9% solid gold bars were merely tungsten counterfeits with the thinnest of gold veneers.

Turns out the NYC gold bar scandal wasn’t an isolated incident either; similar scams were documented in Great Britain earlier in the year and Germany in 2010.

Following these incidents, experts and authorities had one clear message: only buy from reputable sources.

Rings featured on Overstock, Amazon and Ebay rarely list the retailer of the band, let alone its origin. And these large marketplaces do little to regulate their sellers.

So, where does your precious metal inlay ring come from? If it isn’t from Tungsten World, you’ll likely never know.
