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...

Testimonials

Weddingbands.com was a refreshing and stress free experience. The service was excellent. The value was superb and the final cost was significantly lower than anywhere else. I didnt see exactly what I was looking for on their web page so I called and I couldnt have has better and more cooperative service. They directed me to something very close and then customized the production to give me exactly what I wanted at no additional cost. To top it off the ring arrived two days before they said it would. I would not hesitate at all to tell anyone to buy their wedding band from them.- Michael, NY

Great service product value and selection of wedding bands. Even though I always try to support local merchants and in this case I did ask my local jeweler for a comparable product but their price was several hundred dollars higher. I explained to them I had to consider my bottom line instead of theirs. Thanks for your mid-western hospitality and support!- Larry L., NC
