Tungsten can be engraved. Hardness is measured on the MOHs hardness scale. This is a scale from 1 - 10 where 1 is the softest and 10 is the hardest. A diamond registers as a 10 on the MOHs hardness scale and tungsten carbide registers between 8.5 - 9. Jewelers use diamond tipped engraving tools to engrave tungsten.

A more recent trend is Laser Engraving. Some jewelers have been using machines with lasers to burn an engraving into tungsten. Both methods of engraving are effective.
