Even Tungsten isn't particularly hard to cut. Also truly Tungsten rings are a lot less common.

Most of the rings referred to as Tungsten rings are actually Tungsten Carbide. Tungsten Carbide rings, by comparison, is VERY hard to cut. You basically need a diamond blade/saw/grinding wheel to cut through TC.

Locking pliers (aka vise grips) are a good tool for it, since you can set how wide the jaws will close
