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 am a very big procrastinator. I waited until 2 wks before my husbands and my anniversary to order a replacement wedding band for him. I not only wanted a certain band but also wanted it engraved on the inside. In my order I requested that if this would not be able to be received by our anniversary for customer service to call me. The very next day an associate called me to reassure me that even though I had ordered a ring that is custom made they would make sure that it would be crafted and shipped for me to receive it in time. As they said they would they did. I received the band with days to spare and had a wonderful anniversary and even had our priest renew our vows. Thank you and Great Job to all involved!- Linda B.,

We looked a LONG time for the exact ring that my husband wanted and were not able to find it anywhere....online or in the stores. When we found Wedding Bands.com they had a HUGE selection and we found EXACTLY the band that he was looking for...down to the width finish and metal type. And it was hand made just for him and even engraved to my specifications. He loves it and knows he got just what he wanted. Thank you!- Barbara R.,

I am very impressed with weddingbands.com. We ordered our rings ad of course we ordered the wrong size. I emailed weddingbands and they responded with in a couple of hours with a phone call. They confirmed the changes we needed to make emailed us the return paperwork and with in 2 days of them receiving our return mailed out the new rings. They made the whole experience as easy as could be. We now have rings that fit and my wife and I are very pleased with them.- John G,
