Alternative Metals

There are a few different types of alternative metals used for wedding bands such as titanium, tungsten carbide, cobalt, and ceramic wedding rings. These metals are not precious. 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...

We ordered new wedding bands for our 20th anniversary. We absolutely LOVE them! They are everything they were advertised to be. The amazing thing about them - we ordered them late and this company went out of their way to make these bands we had them engraved also - and we received them the day before we left on our vacation. We can not say enough about Wedding Bands and show everyone we can our new rings. We couldnt be more pleased with them.- Joe F., IL

I have been pleasantly pleased with your company. I stumbled across the website and havent regretted one moment. The ring is exactly the same as the local jewelry store with a savings of nearly $200. I appreciate that I had to sign for my purchase to ensure it wasnt lost in shipping. The certificate of authenticity helped me when I went to insure the rings. The detailed information was exactly what the insurance company needed from me. Wish I had found your website before purchasing my fiancés ring! Thank you very much for a flawless experience and I will tell everyone I know about your company and the excellent service I received.- Tami, Virginia
