Your Perfect Ring – Try it at Home

When your ring arrives, try it on, check the fit, and make sure you love it in person. If it's not right for any reason, return it free within 100 days. The only risk is finding one you love.

“I ordered 6 rings to try at home and had as much time as I liked — I haven’t found any other ring shop providing this service. I’d spend more than the £5 deposit in petrol just finding that many rings I liked in shops!”

Simon Poke — 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.

“Within minutes of placing my order I received an email advising me I’d accidentally paid for 2 lots of engraving instead of one — and was refunded immediately. The engraving inside has made it really personal.”

Louisa Mara — Hoo, Kent

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 black tungsten band at 8mm with a purple 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 black and purple and wanted a ring that makes that specific combination feel like a decision: 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 and Purple

The Resilience is a black tungsten band with a purple groove through the surface. Purple is one of the less common groove colours, which makes buyers who choose it specific in their decision.

The full black base gives the purple groove intensity and warmth. The combination reads as distinctive without being obvious.

3 reviews confirm the purple reads more richly against the black in person than product images can show.

How the Purple Holds in Tungsten

Black and purple PVD 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.

What We Hear Most From Buyers

4 buyers of the Resilience confirm the purple inner colour is more vivid in person than the product images show and that the ring looks great as a wedding band.

“Beautiful ring! Absolutely love it. The picture online doesn’t do it justice. The purple is a much nicer, richer colour in person.”
Nic, a UK buyer

The Resilience has 4 reviews. Nic, a UK buyer, named the key detail directly: the purple is a much nicer, richer colour in person than the online picture shows. That is the most useful piece of information a buyer of this ring can receive. Chloe, a UK buyer, confirmed it is her husband’s wedding ring and they both love it.

Matthew, a UK buyer, had ordered a different ring first, contacted the team and switched to the Resilience, confirming the customer service was great and the ring exceeded his expectations. Paul, a UK buyer, used the try-at-home service and received the ring having confirmed his size. The dominant pre-purchase doubt on a ring with a coloured inner is whether the colour is as vivid as it appears online. Nic’s review answers that: it is richer.

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