Lifetime Warranty for Titanium and Tungsten Rings.
The details.
Titanium is the no-drama choice for the working bloke. Light as anything, hard as nails (relatively speaking), and it won't tarnish or corrode no matter the conditions. If you're outdoors a lot — fishing, farming, construction, or just rugby and gym — titanium handles all of it without complaint. Hypoallergenic finish means no skin reactions, even after sweaty days. Comfortable interior fit makes it easy to wear all day. About as practical as a wedding ring gets.
Living with step-edge black titanium
Titanium handles farm chemicals, saltwater and sweat without staining. The stepped edge collects less grime than a grooved band — quick rinse and dry covers it. Light enough that you'll forget it's there by day two.
Sizing notes for 8mm titanium comfort fit
8mm titanium feels lighter than a 6mm tungsten despite the width. Comfort-fit interior means you can size true, not up. Use the NZ free sizer if guessing.
Comparing with black tungsten: weight you'll feel
Black titanium weighs about half of tungsten. Pick titanium if you're hands-on all day and want to forget it; tungsten if you like the dense feel of a serious band.
Q: Will the step edge dent on impact?
A: Titanium is hard but not unbreakable. A direct hammer hit can mark the edge. Normal worksite knocks won't show.
Q: Safe for nickel-allergic skin?
A: Yes — aerospace-grade titanium has no nickel content. Common pick for blokes who react to cheaper stainless rings.
Q: Can it be resized later?
A: Limited resizing — half a size by a specialist. Better to size right first using the free NZ sizer.

we purchased this ring for our sons recent graduation. The process was so simple to do online and the ring arrived within 48 hours from QLD and we are in NSW.
So impressed with the terms and conditions on returns for the wrong size etc.
Our son absolutely loved it and it looked great on him. For the quality of the item, packaging and delivery I believe the pricing was very reasonable.
Easy to order, quick delivery & very happy with the product
The metal is tough but the black paint scratches and comes of quite easy, had for 3 weeks and already looks years old. Probably only good if you have an office job and don't wear at the gym.
Everything from the purchase to the exchange was quick and simple. They were very responsive to all my emails during the exchange process!
My partner loves his Black Titanium ring. The exchange process for the wrong size was also so easy and they were very helpful.
Thank you :)
Caring for your Titanium ring
Titanium is about 45% lighter than steel but still corrosion-proof, so it shrugs off salt water, sweat, chlorine and household cleaners without tarnishing. Wash it once a week with warm water and a drop of dish soap, work a soft toothbrush around any inlays or grooves, then pat dry. The surface can pick up fine hairline scratches over time — these can be re-brushed with a green scotch-brite pad if you prefer the matte look, or polished out by any NZ jeweller for a small fee.
Remove the ring for heavy lifting, climbing or anything where the finger could be crushed, because titanium is harder to cut than gold and emergency staff will need bolt cutters or a diamond-tipped saw. Otherwise it is one of the most wearable metals — fully hypoallergenic, hypothermic-friendly (it warms to skin temperature quickly), and unaffected by the iodine-rich coastal air found across most of NZ.
Common questions about Titanium rings
Is titanium stronger than tungsten?
Titanium is tougher (it bends before it breaks) while tungsten is harder (it resists scratches but can shatter on impact). For a tradie or farmer who drops things, titanium is the safer choice; for someone chasing a permanent mirror polish, tungsten wins. Both outlast gold on a busy hand.
Can a titanium ring be resized in New Zealand?
Most NZ jewellers can resize a plain titanium band up or down by one half-size using a stretching mandrel, but rings with inlays, grooves or anodised colour generally cannot be resized. If you're between sizes, order the larger one — a sizing bead can always be added later.
Will titanium react with seawater or pool chlorine?
No. Titanium is the same alloy used in marine and surgical implants, so saltwater swimming, surf trips and chlorinated pools cause zero corrosion or discolouration. Just rinse with fresh water afterwards to stop salt crystals collecting under the band.
How heavy is a titanium ring compared to gold?
A typical 8mm titanium band weighs around 4–5 grams, versus 12–15 grams for the same shape in 9ct gold. Most NZ buyers describe it as feeling like "barely wearing a ring" — useful for office workers, gym-goers, and anyone not used to wearing jewellery.
Considering alternatives?
Titanium and tungsten rings are the two most-compared modern metals on this site. Titanium wins on weight, comfort and resizability; tungsten wins on shine retention and scratch resistance. Both are priced well below gold and ship free across NZ.
