The ring is great, looks amazing and has a lovely feel, good weight to it.
Had some issues with sizing, the chart provided on the website is significantly different to the ring sizer provided.

I‘m surprised about the design of the packaging it just looks a bit cheap because it’s all out of paper/cardboard. The ring box itself (ordered the normal one) is small and presents the ring in a very good way. I like the MRO sign of the inside of the Box. They send a great looking warranty card which also feels good. The ring itself is like expected - heavy weight, yellow Gold stripe in the middle and the Ring looks exactly like in the pictures. It fits and feels good to wear on the finger. I‘m happy about the Ring at this stage, I‘m just worried, that the Gold part would disappear in a few years.

Really appreciated the fast postage service and the quick, convenient returns policy. The only suggestion id say is that the images of the Rings need to show some where they are being worn as it is difficult to ascertain exactly what they look like.

This is a lovely ring. It has got some serious weight to it. No wonder people say tungsten is indestructible. I originally bought a size too big and had to exchange item. You pay an Exchange fee and for postage, so although the process is easy, I wouldn’t suggest doing it often. All in all, very pleased with the ring and would definitely buy from Men’s rings again! Thank you :)

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.
