It is an alternative choice to gold, platinum, and palladium wedding rings. WeddingBands.com only carries titanium and cobalt for alternative metals. Below can find more information about each alternative metal WeddingBands.com carries:

Titanium

TITANIUM, Named for the Titans, sons of the Greek gods, Titanium, when pure, is a lustrous, grayish white metal. It has a low density, good strength, is easily fabricated, and has excellent corrosion resistance. It is mainly used in jewelry as an accent metal in Men's jewelry. Its inertness and ability to be attractively colored also make it a popular metal for use in body piercing. View More

Cobalt

COBALT, is an alternative metal, white color, harder than platinum, and similar to platinum appearance. Cobalt is not a precious metal. It is more scratch resistant than titanium and other precious metals. It can be sized slightly without cutting into the ring. The weights of cobalt rings are very similar to the weight of gold rings. Cobalt does not contain harmful alloys and as of today does not cause any allergic reactions. Read more...

Testimonials

I loved the Ring and the Service! Very Fast Easy. Beautiful Engraving- Cassie B., Western Australia

My husband and I were renewing our wedding vows at our 30th Anniversary and wanted to exchange new wedding rings since our current ones had been well worn to the point of breaking. We loved the variety to choose from and the quality of the rings were outstanding. What made purchasing them even more enjoyable was the warm and professional service we received from Edessa while they were being made and delivered. We had to wait alittle longer than expected but it was worth it since we had confidence that Edessa was not going to send us anything less than perfection in our new rings. Theyve got to last another 30 years and Im sure they will. Youve restored our faith in American Businesses and service. Thank you.- Eileen F, FL
