I love the ring but even more I loved the service. I measured my soon to be husband's finger on an angle and got the wrong size. The exchange was made so easy even though I am a Chaotic mess the Team on Customer Support dealt with all my anxious emails with nothing but love and solutions. I have the Perfect sized ring now and Tested it on my sleeping unsuspecting partner.

Ring fit my partner amazingly (third times a charm but exchange process is insanely easy) and the quality is amazing. All 3 rings we received were all of insane quality, sturdy material and gorgeous designs.

Shipping was super dooper fast, being located in North Brisbane probably helps with this. Definitely happy to be purchasing from someone local!

Customer service is second to none! I was quite painful at the beginning of the whole process (stressed bride to be) but Charina was understanding, helpful, polite and just all round outstanding. Thank you, again, Charina.
MENS RINGS ONLINE, this woman deserves a raise or at least a gift for her amazing service.

All in all, extremely happy and will not hesitate to purchase again one day. Will be recommending you to any future grooms/brides who may cross my path as well!

This was the first time I bought a ring off the web and had so many choices to choose from and I did not want the old traditional wedding band and we found this ring and it was in my size so we bought the ring and then it turned up within the week, very happy with the purchase can’t be more happy

Caring for your Tungsten ring

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.

Common questions about Tungsten rings

Is tungsten a good metal for a men's wedding ring in NZ?

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.

Can tungsten rings be cut off in an emergency?

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.

Will a tungsten ring turn my finger green or black?

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.

How do I get the right tungsten ring size in NZ?

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.

Considering alternatives?

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.
