A men's black tungsten ring with a red opal inlay that won't turn your finger green. Crushed natural red opal fills most of the width of this domed band, between two thin black rims. It's polished tungsten carbide with black IP plating. The tungsten is hypoallergenic and waterproof, it won't rust, and the black won't fade. The ring is 8mm wide and 3mm thick, with a curved edge and a comfort fit.
So much of the band is red that the colour leads, and it shimmers in sunlight. Wear it every day, or as an alternative tungsten wedding band. For a thinner red stripe on a brushed band, see the Tungsten Red Opal Inlay Band.
Engraving is an optional add-on. We engrave the inside of the band with up to 50 characters, enough for a name and a date. Pick a font and add a symbol if you like.
For a gift, add a gift box in your basket for £3.95. Every piece already comes in a black velvet gift bag.
It comes in US sizes 6 to 13 (UK L½ to Z½). Tungsten rings can't be resized later, so check your size against a ring that already fits before you order.

Material: Tungsten carbide
The metal
Tungsten carbide is hard, dense and scratch resistant, with a high melting point. It won't tarnish or change colour, and it keeps its shine for a long time with little care.
Cleaning
Wash it in hot, soapy water and rinse it well so it doesn't mark. Wipe it with a microfibre cloth to keep it looking new.
