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.
Why buy from Newman Bands?
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.
What if it doesn't fit?
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.

THE DETAILS
Black carbon fibre plaid inlay through the centre. The woven pattern is visible up close and shifts slightly depending on the light.
Available at 6mm and 8mm. Both widths carry the same inlay; the 8mm gives the inlay more surface area relative to the silver frame.
Polished silver tungsten on each side of the inlay, with bevelled edges at the transition. The frame protects the inlay and defines the boundary between the two materials.
Comfort-fit curve, rounded interior slides on easily, sits flat all day.

Carbon Fibre in Silver
The Innovator is a polished silver tungsten band built around a black carbon fibre plaid inlay. The woven pattern sits through the centre of the band, contained by polished silver bevelled edges on each side. The combination of the silver frame and the dark textured inlay is what makes the Innovator specific.
At 49 reviews it is one of the most reviewed rings in the range, and the pattern across those reviews is consistent: buyers who wanted an inlay ring and chose this one tend to find it is more considered in person than the product images suggest.
The Innovator suits buyers who looked at every plain silver band and found them interchangeable, then found the Analyser (also a carbon fibre and silver ring) and chose the Innovator based on the proportion of silver to inlay.
The carbon fibre inlay in the Innovator is set within a tungsten carbide frame. Tungsten is one of the only metals hard enough to hold an inlay securely through the kind of daily impact that would shift the same detail in a softer metal band. The inlay is protected by the frame, not just set within it.
Tungsten cannot be resized, but Newman Bands offers a free size exchange if the fit is not right first time.
“I bought this for my partner as we get married later on this year and I’d done my research what would be best for him in the industry that he works in but one that also looks good.
We’re so happy with the ring, it looks great, stylish and the fit is perfect. Delivery was super quick. I hadn’t realised that I was buying from a small business, I thought it was a high end brand but I’m certainly not disappointed.”
Harriet, a UK buyer
49 reviews is a significant number for this type of ring. The pattern across them is clear: buyers who wanted a carbon fibre inlay ring found the Innovator delivered more than expected. Several note it was bought as a wedding ring and has held up through daily wear including physical work. Gift buyers note the ring looks more expensive than it is. The combination of the polished silver frame and the carbon fibre inlay reads as considered rather than decorative.
You have 100 days to try it at home. If it’s not right for any reason, return it free.
