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...

These guys are splendid.
I bought two wedding rings and sent back one to replace with a different model. Process of exchange was very painless and fast. Rings are good quality and good price.
If I want to buy any ring in future I certainly will buy from WeddingBands.com.- Bruce,

The rings we chose required customisation. The customisation was a wider band which meant the braid then looked much smaller in reality than the photos on the website. Overall we are pleased with the result but not entirely over the moon with the whole experience.
The final result did not have a wider braid to ensure proportionality of appearance was maintained.
Requests for confirmation of what the customisations were to ensure our order was accurately manufactured was met with a when complete we will confirm the customisations. If undertaken incorrectly it would have been too late to change.
Possibly a more proactive order confirmation earlier in the process could be more useful.

I ordered my husband a replacement wedding band through weddingbands.com. I was a little leary of ordering through the internet but was very glad I went through with it. The ring was lovely I was able to have it engraved with our names and wedding date. It was shipped quickly I was able to surprise him for Christmas! I would highly recommend this website to anyone looking for wedding bands at a reasonable price!- Crystal L.,

I appreciate all the help you guys were great and I could not have made my wedding date without you. I have a large ring size and nobody in town stocks a 13.75 ring size. I will recommend you guys to all my friends.
