An earth-boring bit has a seal assembly with a seal face having a DLC coating. The seal assembly locates between a bearing pin and a cone of the bit. The seal assembly has at least one rigid ring that rotates against a mating surface. The DLC coating is diamond-like carbon that may be coated by different processes onto either the ring, the mating surface, or both.
