Can’t fault the service or ring. I’d recommend to anyone on the lookout for their next piece to love forever
This tungsten carbide men's ring pairs a durable tungsten carbide base with an ebony wood inlay. The ebony wood inlay gives the ring a darker organic contrast while the tungsten carbide base handles daily wear. Scratch-resistant and easy to wear day after day, it gives you a bolder look without losing the practicality tungsten is known for.

My wife bought this to replace my lost wedding ring. I am a classical guitarist and have an ebony fingerboard on my guitar. This ring is comfortable, light and looks great - and it’s always on display when I play.
Love it, everyone I show loves it.
I have worked with timber most of my life so I love how it's incorporated into this ring. Ring is better than picture, turned up quickly, can't ask for more than that.
We are so pleased with the quality and beauty in this ring. Absolute perfection.
I am a carpenter so it's really nice to have this ring love it.
Very beautiful ring. Extremely happy with my experience
Shipping wad very fast which was impressive. The packaging shows the care that goes into the order. I wanted to get my husband something a bit different and I'm so happy with my choice.The ring is even more beautiful in person. Very impressed!
My size was too big, I sent it back with no issues and received the new ring within 2 business days. I received good communications for each step in the process which made me more comfortable. My dealings with this business were great.
Quality ring. Good customer service too.
Super pleased with this company. The ring came in a timely manner and was boxed beautifully. The ring itself looks just like the photos and is excellent quality
Tungsten carbide is one of the hardest metals used in jewellery, scoring around 9 on the Mohs scale, so day-to-day scratches from desks, tools and gym equipment rarely leave a mark. Wipe the ring with a soft cloth and warm soapy water every week or two to lift skin oils and soap residue, then dry it fully before putting it back on. Avoid dropping it on tile or concrete — tungsten resists scratching but can chip or fracture from a hard impact.
Take the ring off before heavy lifting, contact sports or rock climbing, since unlike softer metals tungsten cannot be cut off with standard ring cutters in an emergency (medics use a vice-grip crack method instead). The polish holds for years without re-buffing, and the ring will not tarnish, oxidise or react with chlorine in pools or spas.
Yes — tungsten is the most scratch-resistant ring metal sold in New Zealand and holds its mirror polish through years of trades work, farming or office wear. It sits in the mid-price band (well under most gold options) and ships free across NZ. The main trade-off is that it cannot be resized, so getting the fit right at order time matters.
Yes, but not with a standard ring cutter. NZ emergency departments and jewellers use locking pliers or a vice-grip to apply pressure at two points until the ring cracks cleanly into two halves, which actually comes off faster than sawing through gold. Always tell medical staff the ring is tungsten so they grab the right tool.
No. Quality tungsten carbide rings use a nickel-free binder and are hypoallergenic, so there is no oxidation transfer to skin. If you see grey marks it is usually a metallic-soap reaction from heavy hand-cream or sunscreen — wash with warm water and it lifts off.
NZ ring sizing uses the same A–Z letter scale as Australia and the UK, so any NZ jeweller can size you for free. Because tungsten cannot be resized after manufacture, we recommend getting sized at the end of the day when fingers are at their largest, and ordering a half-size up if you work outdoors in cold weather.
Buyers weighing up tungsten often also look at titanium rings — both are hypoallergenic and modern, but titanium is roughly four times lighter on the finger while tungsten holds a brighter, more scratch-proof polish. Pick tungsten for weight and shine, titanium for an almost-weightless feel.
Every ring in our range is built to outlast the work it’s worn through. Here’s what comes with yours, and how we back it.
Not the right size or finish? Swap it within 60 days. Fee-free on in-stock rings $100 or more ($10 under $100). Return postage is yours — tracked is safest.
Real heft in the hand. Nothing hollow, no plating to wear through. Same metal day one, day ten thousand.
If the metal cracks or breaks during everyday wear, we replace the ring. Plating and inlays wear naturally and aren't covered.
