The contrast between the dark brushed centre and the bright blue edges gives the Maven its identity — bold enough to stand out, refined enough for everyday wear. Most buyers pick this as a wedding band or a gift for a partner who wants colour without going over the top. 20+ verified buyers, every one a five-star rating.

Tungsten carbide rates 9 on the Mohs hardness scale — one below diamond. The black and blue finish is bonded using PVD coating, the same vapour deposition process used on luxury watches. It won’t scratch from daily wear, won’t tarnish, and won’t react with skin. The 6mm suits a slimmer, more understated look; the 8mm carries more presence on the hand. Comfort-fit interior. Engravable. Dispatched today.

Walk into a jeweller and you’ll find versions of our rings for 3–4 times the price. The difference isn’t the ring — it’s the overheads. We work directly with the craftspeople who make them and carry the stock ourselves, which is how we can sell a ring that genuinely lasts for a fraction of high street prices.

Traditional gold and silver scratch, bend and lose their shine. That doesn’t happen here. We use a high end process called PVD plating which is the same process used on high end watches to keep your ring looking great.

We’re based in Horsham and dispatch the same day for orders before 5pm (11am Saturday). That includes engraved rings — we hold stock and engrave on site, which is why we can still get it to you in 1–2 days. Most online ring sellers take 2 weeks or more.

We’ve fulfilled over 100,000 orders since 2019 and hold over 10,000 five-star reviews across Trustpilot and Reviews.io. Any questions before you buy — contact us directly. No chatbots, no outsourced support. We handle it ourselves.

Tungsten and titanium can’t be resized, so we offer free exchanges or refunds on unengraved rings — no questions asked. If you want a refund or an exchange, you have 100 days to return it free for any reason.

Maven - Men's Tungsten Ring, Black and Blue, 6mm or 8mm

THE DETAILS

Won’t Scratch. Built to Be Worn Every Day.

Tungsten carbide sits at 9 on the Mohs hardness scale — one below diamond. The black and blue PVD finish is bonded at a molecular level, not plated on top. Whether you choose 6mm or 8mm, the same finish and the same durability. Rob replaced a ring from another retailer with the Maven and noticed the difference immediately: “Looked way better than my old one.”

Feels Like Proper Jewellery.

Tungsten carbide is comparable in density to 18K gold. Both the 6mm and 8mm have real weight to them — you’ll notice it the moment you pick the ring up. Kendra from London bought the Maven as a gift for her partner and described it as “really heavy and shows amazing quality.”

Blue Without Going Over the Top.

The brushed black centre sits between polished blue sides with a blue groove running through the band. The colour is there, but it’s controlled — enough to catch attention without dominating the hand. Available in 6mm for a subtler look or 8mm for more colour presence. Laura from Musselburgh said it perfectly: “The blue is just gorgeous without being over the top.”

Engravable. Gift-Ready. Posted Today.

Every ring arrives in a presentation box. Add a date, name, or message with laser engraving done in-house. Both widths are engravable and dispatched the same day. Lorraine from London ordered the Maven as a gift: “Personalised engraving gives a lovely personal touch. Would highly recommend and would order again.”

Who This Ring Is For

The Maven is bought as a wedding band, a gift for a partner, and as an everyday ring for men who want something with more character than a plain black band. It comes in two widths — 6mm for those who prefer a slimmer look and 8mm for anyone who wants more presence on the finger.

Kendra from London bought it for her partner. Rachel chose it as her husband’s wedding ring. Evie from Rhyl bought it for her future husband ahead of their wedding. Joanne from Germany is on her second Maven — she had to reorder a smaller size after her husband lost weight, and both times the ring was the one he wouldn’t take off.

At 6mm the ring is a contained all-black band with a blue detail. At 8mm the proportions give both the black and the blue more surface to work with.

The occasions vary, but the reason is the same: black and blue, well-made, and distinctive without being flashy.

A black tungsten band with polished blue sides and a blue groove inlay running through the centre. The middle section is brushed, giving a textured contrast against the smooth blue edges. The interplay between the matte black and polished blue gives the Maven its depth — it shifts in the light, looking different from angle to angle.

. Available in 6mm and 8mm, so you can choose the proportion that suits your hand.

Sy from Leiston described how the colour works in practice: “The subtle blue edges really make this ring — it accompanies my watch and bracelet perfectly.” “Beautiful ring. Fits comfortably, not too heavy.” — Sophie Wells, London

Why Tungsten Lasts

Tungsten carbide is one of the hardest materials used in jewellery — 9 on the Mohs scale, one step below diamond. It won’t scratch from everyday contact, won’t bend under pressure, and won’t tarnish from moisture or skin. Both the 6mm and 8mm use the same tungsten carbide base with PVD coating — a vapour deposition process that bonds colour at a molecular level rather than plating it on top. The black and the blue are both PVD-bonded, so neither will peel, fade, or react with skin.

Tungsten can’t be resized. If the fit isn’t right, return it free and we’ll exchange it the same day it arrives.

How it Compares

Buyers consistently describe the Maven as looking and feeling far more expensive than they expected. The weight of the tungsten and the PVD finish give it the presence of a ring from a specialist jeweller. Rob replaced his ring from another retailer and put it simply: “Looked way better than my old one and was half the price of the main dealer I got my first one from.”

A two-tone tungsten ring from a high-street jeweller or specialist brand typically costs several times what you’d pay here — and often uses the same tungsten carbide base. The material is the same. The craftsmanship is the same. The difference is the markup.

Buying This as a Gift?

The presentation box does the work for you — no wrapping needed. Add a laser engraving and it becomes personal. We engrave in-house and post the same day. If you’re not sure which width they’d prefer, the 8mm is the more popular choice — but we exchange free if they’d rather switch to the 6mm.

“The ring was so beautiful. I was so jealous since I brought it for my partner. Really heavy and shows amazing quality. I loved everything about this ring.”

— Kendra Parry, London

“We absolutely love the ring! So many compliments on it and its unique colour! Fabulous fast service! We have had to buy this ring twice as my new husband lost it on our first week on honeymoon! So it’s been posted through the letter box awaiting our arrival home tomorrow!”
Kristi

The most common observation from Maven buyers is the blue — not overpowering, not too subtle, just the right amount. Sy Roberts from Leiston says the subtle blue edges complement his watch and bracelet perfectly. Laura Ryley from Musselburgh confirms the blue is gorgeous without being over the top. Buyers also mention real weight as a quality signal, with Kendra Parry from London saying the ring shows amazing quality.

“My husband was worried about wearing a ring every day in case it was uncomfortable, but he hasn’t taken it off since we got married.”
Joanne Bass, Germany

Despite the weight, the comfort-fit interior means buyers forget the ring is there — Cliff Hirst from Doncaster says he doesn’t know he’s wearing it. A significant number of Maven buyers are choosing it as a wedding band, and Evie Dumbrell from Rhyl says her future husband loves it far more than typical white gold bands. Clare handled Evie’s size exchange within a week, and Brian describes the whole process as a pleasure from start to finish. All 22 verified buyers gave it five stars.
