Technical ceramic is scratch-resistant, lightweight, and permanently coloured — the colour goes all the way through, not just a surface coating. Available in 7mm — Hypoallergenic and non-conductive. Harder than most metals but less flexible — it can crack under sharp impact rather than bending. For a clean, modern look that holds its colour without replating or maintenance, ceramic is a solid pick. Get the sizing right upfront, as ceramic can't be resized.

Good experience
From the website which provides education regarding the rings to ensure customers make the choice right for them, the navigation of the website, the quality of the rings, the advice about sizing, the exchange policy - and the ease as to how that happens... I cannot fault MR - it truly was a perfect customer service experience.
Site was so easy to follow. Return/exchange was so easy! Thank you! :)
Great customer service from start to finish. Fast delivery and product as decribed. Definitely referring to all my friends.
The ring looks exactly as pictured, really fast delivery, and I experienced top notch customer service. Thanks!
High-tech ceramic rings (usually zirconium dioxide) are extremely hard — comparable to tungsten on the Mohs scale — and the colour is solid all the way through, so scratches don't show as bright silver underneath. Black ceramic is particularly popular for staying black for life with no plating to wear off. Wash with warm soapy water and a soft cloth as needed; the surface is non-porous so it never stains.
The trade-off is brittleness — ceramic resists scratching brilliantly but can crack or shatter on a hard drop onto tile or concrete. Take it off for heavy lifting, climbing and any work involving hammers or angle grinders. Like tungsten, ceramic rings cannot be resized after manufacture, and emergency removal uses the same vice-grip crack technique. Hypoallergenic, chemical-proof, and pool-safe.
Yes for scratch resistance — ceramic holds its finish better than gold, silver or titanium over the long term. The weakness is impact: a sharp drop on a tile floor can chip or crack it. Most NZ buyers find this trade acceptable for the permanent black or white finish.
No — the colour is the ceramic material itself, not a coating, so it never wears off, fades or rubs through. A 10-year-old black ceramic ring looks identical to a new one, which is the main reason owners choose it over black-plated metal.
No — ceramic is fired hard and cannot be stretched or cut and re-joined. Get sized accurately before ordering; NZ jewellers size for free. If you're between sizes, order the half-size up.
Same approach as tungsten — NZ emergency staff use locking pliers or a vice-grip to crack the ring at two points. Tell medics it's ceramic, not metal, so they reach for the right tool straight away rather than wasting time with a standard ring cutter.
Ceramic and tungsten rings share a lot of properties — both hard, scratch-proof, hypoallergenic and non-resizable. Tungsten has more weight and a brighter mirror polish; ceramic is lighter and offers permanent matte-black or pure-white finishes that tungsten can't match.
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 over $90 ($10 under $90). 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.
