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.
Brushed silver centre with stepped polished black edges. 8mm. The raised silver section catches the light differently from every angle, while the black surround frames it with depth and contrast. Most buyers choose the Spry as a wedding band or a gift for a partner who wants something modern and two-tone rather than a plain silver or all-black ring.
Tungsten carbide rates 9 on the Mohs hardness scale — one below diamond. Both the silver and black finishes are bonded using PVD coating, the same vapour deposition process used on luxury watches. Neither finish will scratch, tarnish, or react with skin. The weight sits comparable to 18K gold — solid and substantial from the moment you put it on. Comfort-fit interior. Engravable. Dispatched today.
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
Tungsten carbide sits at 9 on the Mohs hardness scale — one below diamond. The silver and black PVD finishes are bonded at a molecular level, not plated on top, so neither colour will chip, fade, or peel. The boundary between the two tones stays crisp through daily wear. Paul from London, a tungsten range buyer, confirmed it: “Excellent quality and finish, very hard wearing.”
Tungsten carbide is comparable in density to 18K gold. The Spry has real presence on the hand — solid and substantial without being heavy. Janine bought it as a Christmas gift and noticed it immediately: “The quality looks amazing and the ring is just the right weight.”
The raised brushed silver centre contrasts against polished black edges. The stepped profile gives it structure — this reads as a ring with thought behind it, not a plain band. The two-tone finish changes in the light, looking different depending on the angle. Jodie from Leeds compared the Spry to everything on the high street and chose this: “The quality is second to none.”
Every ring arrives in a presentation box. Add a date, name, or message with laser engraving done in-house. Same-day dispatch on all orders. Jodie from Leeds ordered the Spry after visiting local jewellers and summed up her experience: “Delivery was so quick! I’ll definitely recommend in the future!”

Who This Ring Is For
The Spry is bought as a wedding band, a gift for a partner, and as an everyday ring for men who want something more distinctive than a single-colour band. The two-tone silver and black design appeals to buyers who want contrast and detail without going loud. Jodie from Leeds bought it after visiting every local jeweller and finding nothing that felt right. Janine bought it as a Christmas present for someone she knew would appreciate the quality and weight.
The reasons are different, but the reaction is the same: it looks and feels better than they expected.
A brushed silver centre section, slightly raised, running the full width of the ring. Polished black stepped edges frame it on both sides. The contrast between brushed silver and polished black gives the Spry its character — the two finishes catch light differently, so the ring looks subtly different from every angle. At 8mm, it has real presence on the hand without dominating it.
“The quality looks amazing and the ring is just the right weight.” — Janine Martin — verified Spry buyer
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 silver and black finishes use PVD coating — a vapour deposition process that bonds colour at a molecular level rather than plating it on top. The boundary between the two tones stays defined.
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 tungsten rings from Newman Bands as looking and feeling far more expensive than they expected. The weight is the first thing they notice — tungsten carbide is comparable in density to 18K gold, so it feels like proper jewellery from the moment you pick it up. Rachael from London described her tungsten ring purchase: “Looks so much more expensive in person, and looks amazing.”
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. Janine bought the Spry as a Christmas gift and was delighted with what arrived. Jodie compared it to everything on the high street and chose Newman Bands.
“We had been around all the local jewellers and all of the bands felt thin and flimsy. The quality is second to none and delivery was so quick!”

Jodie Henderson, Leeds
Both Spry reviews are five stars. Buyers describe a ring with real weight to it — tungsten carbide is comparable in density to 18K gold — and quality that stands apart from high-street alternatives. The two-tone design gives it a distinctive look without being loud.
“The quality looks amazing and the ring is just the right weight.”

Across the tungsten range, buyers consistently say their ring looks and feels more expensive than they paid. The PVD coating, the weight, and the finish quality all contribute.
