Engrave Your Ring
Add a date, initials or message, laser engraved in-house and dispatched the same day. Most engravers add days to delivery. We don't.
Tungsten carbide rates 9 on the Mohs hardness scale — just below diamond. Only a diamond can mark it.
Tungsten don't react with air, water or skin — ever. Our colours outlast precious metal equivalents.
Built for long-term wear — retains its shape and finish even with daily use.
Every ring arrives in a presentation gift box — no extra packaging needed. Ready to give exactly as it arrives.
A black tungsten band at 8mm with a polished gold groove inlaid through the surface, the warm yellow gold against the full black giving the ring a precise, high-contrast finish. Tungsten carbide is one of the hardest metals used in jewellery: it won’t bend, deform, or tarnish. A men’s wedding ring for buyers who wanted black and gold without the ring looking ceremonial: the combination works because the proportions are right: engravable, dispatched same day.
What makes this ring worth it?
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.

Black Tungsten, Gold Detail
The Shard is a black tungsten band with a gold groove running through the surface. The black covers the majority of the band; the gold sits within it as a deliberate accent. The contrast between the full black and the polished gold is direct and clean.
It works for buyers who wanted the black and gold combination but found most black and gold rings either too traditional or too decorated. The Shard is restrained: one gold groove, one black band.
The gold groove is warm rather than yellow, which keeps the ring from reading as formal.
The black and gold surfaces on the Shard are both PVD finishes on a tungsten carbide base. Tungsten keeps both finishes intact at the boundary between the two colours through daily wear, which is where the definition matters most.
Tungsten cannot be resized, but Newman Bands offers a free size exchange if the fit is not right first time.
“For the price of the ring we are very happy, it arrived very quickly and it feels and looks great.”
Aaron, a UK buyer
The Shard has 1 review. Aaron, a UK buyer, confirmed the ring feels and looks great and arrived quickly.
Newman Bands has shipped similar geometric tungsten designs across the range and the consistent pattern from buyers is that the angular detail reads more sharply in person than product images show. The question buyers have with a geometric ring is whether the faceted surface catches the light in the way the photographs suggest. The tungsten base gives the Shard the weight and density to make the angular faces register clearly on the finger.
