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, 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, 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...

I loved the ring. Just perfect.
I received my order and I wanted to let you know that I am thrilled with the rings and the engraving. I also loved the boxes they came in, which was absolutely beautiful. I must admit I was leery to order online, but I am so glad I ordered from you. These rings are for my son and future daughter-in-law and they are very happy with the quality of the rings. Thank you so much and you have earned my business and trust should we have future weddings in our family.
thanks again,

I would highly recommend using weddingbands.com. I recently purchased a wedding band here which was half the price of buying the same thing in Australia. Ordering was easy and I could track the shipment the entire way. They have definitely perfected internet shopping for the consumer!- Jacquie,

I ordered a mens wedding band for my fianc this past month and was obviously nervous about the end result as it was sight unseen. I purchased an engraved yellow gold Comfort-fit band. When it did arrive the quality was beautiful and the engraving was just as requested. In addition to the excellent price on the ring the shipping was also timely. I could not have been more pleased with my purchase.- M.A.C.,

I had checked with several sites to review the selection of wedding bands. The first thing I noticed is that weddingbands.com gave the approximate gram weight of gold in each band and the sizing of the complete ring. I had a question about the thickness which was answered immediately. I place an order for 2 bands with engraving. It took only 8 days and I had them in hand.
The size feel and weight is perfect. I did get the comfort fit and it is pleasure to wear. I loved the quality selection engraving and speed of delivery. I would recommend this site hands down to anyone.- Kathleen C.,

So I picked up my Fiances ring that I purchased from Weddingbands.com to local jewelry store and ask about sizing the ring. Because I ordered it too large. The salesman asked in a certain tone which said he thought he'd be able to say he could've gotten me a better deal and why didn't I come to him first...So James may I ask how much you paid for this ring? I replied with the price...and his eyebrows went up eyes widened and wrinkled his forehead. He said Large ring...heavy...thats a great price. At that moment I really knew I'd gotten a good price. Thanks Weddingbands.com!- James and Sarah,
