“Our original ring from a standard high street store didn’t hold up well at all — this ring has exceeded my expectations. The ring sizer arrived next day and the ring itself arrived the day after.”
Harriet Hamer — Stalybridge, Greater Manchester

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.

“Clare, Aaron and Joe made everything completely stress-free across multiple size exchanges. What really sets Newman Bands apart is how much they care about their customers. If you’re on the fence — don’t be.”
David Garcia Gonzalez — London
Won't Scratch

Tungsten carbide rates 9 on the Mohs hardness scale — just below diamond. Only a diamond can mark it.

Won't Tarnish

Tungsten don't react with air, water or skin — ever. Our colours outlast precious metal equivalents.

Made to Last

Built for long-term wear — retains its shape and finish even with daily use.

Gift Ready

Every ring arrives in a presentation gift box — no extra packaging needed. Ready to give exactly as it arrives.

A polished gold tungsten band at 8mm with a black groove inlaid through the surface. 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 chose gold and wanted a dark accent that stops the ring from being a single-note statement: engravable, dispatched same day.

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.

Gold Band, Black Detail

The Captivate is a gold tungsten band with a black groove through the surface. The gold covers the majority of the band; the black groove sits in the centre as a cooler, darker element within the warm gold.

The contrast between gold and black is high, which means the groove reads clearly even at a distance.

It works for buyers who wanted gold as the dominant colour with a specific detail that makes the ring something more than a plain gold band.

Both the gold and black surfaces on the Captivate are PVD finishes on tungsten carbide. Tungsten holds both at the groove boundary through daily wear.

Tungsten cannot be resized, but Newman Bands offers a free size exchange if the fit is not right first time.

6 buyers of the Captivate confirm the gold and black combination reads as a strong visual decision in person, and the finish holds up through daily wear

“Absolutely stunning, durable ring! I proposed to my now husband with this ring in 2021 (I caught wind of a proposal and wanted to get in there first!). The ring arrived promptly and beautifully packaged (plain so there was no guessing what it was!) after ordering the wrong size I couldn’t fault the returns procedure at all, emails were replied to quickly with the wrong size and new ring exchanged and back on his finger within a week! He wore it everyday, with it withstanding many a DIY project and looking just as good as the day it was bought! Fast forward to November 2023 and my husband was throwing stones into the sea when it slipped off and we lost it. He was very upset at the thought of it being gone and it was a no brainer that we would purchase the same one again as a replacement. Again, this arrived very promptly, within 2 days and I now have a very happy husband. Thank you so much!”
Steph, a UK buyer

The Captivate has 6 reviews. Buyers who chose gold with a black groove find the contrast reads clearly and the ring holds up well through daily wear.

You have 100 days to try it at home. If it’s not right for any reason, return it free.
