The details.

If a ring that looks the same in ten years matters to you, tungsten carbide is the pick. The scratch resistance is exceptional — harder than most materials you'll come across in daily life. The dense, heavy feel gives it a premium quality that lighter metals don't match. Tungsten is too hard to resize, so use our free ring sizer to lock in your fit before you order. For a tough ring that holds its look through an active Kiwi lifestyle, tungsten delivers.

Amazing ring, amazing service, my husband loves it. Totally recommend purchasing from MRO - they have been a pleasure to deal with.

loved it just what we were looking for and fast shipping

super happy with the product and super quick shipping which was fantastic

Thankyou so much. My partner wanted an engagement ring too and not only did you have what he was looking for but the quality is amazing and the delivery was super fast!

Hubby wanted something a little different and he absolutely loves it. It looks even better in person, and has a good solid weight to it.

We ordered the wrong size to begin with, but the exchange process was easy, pain free, great communication from customer service and quick turn around.

Highly recommended.

Caring for your Tungsten ring

Tungsten carbide is highly scratch-resistant, making it a low-maintenance choice for everyday rings. Wipe with a soft, damp cloth, then dry thoroughly. As with any ring, remove it before heavy lifting, contact sports, climbing or working with machinery.

Common questions about Tungsten rings

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

Yes — tungsten suits buyers who want high scratch resistance and a substantial feel on the finger. Choose the colour and finish you like, and use our free NZ ring sizer before ordering. Standard NZ shipping is free on orders of $99 or more.

Can tungsten rings be removed in an emergency?

Yes. Trained medical professionals can remove tungsten rings using appropriate equipment. Tell them your ring is tungsten carbide so they can choose the right method.

Do tungsten rings need regular polishing?

Tungsten carbide's high scratch resistance makes it easy to care for. Gentle cleaning removes everyday residue and keeps the ring looking its best.

Can tungsten rings be resized?

Tungsten rings cannot be resized. Our free NZ ring sizer helps you choose your size before ordering.

How do I get the right tungsten ring size?

Measure when your hands are at a comfortable temperature and check the fit on more than one occasion. The ring should feel secure while passing comfortably over your knuckle. Consider the width of your chosen band when checking your fit.

Considering alternatives?

Choose tungsten for a substantial feel and high scratch resistance, or titanium rings for a much lighter feel. Both offer contemporary styles in a range of finishes.
