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...
Testimonials
My fiance is a farmer and lives in a sparsely populated area. We wanted a non-gemstone engagement ring but couldnt find anything we liked in the stores around him. We went online to your website and found the Carved Wedding Band and knew that was the one we wanted for an engagement ring! It was shipped to my house 3 states away and I waited till we were together again to open the package. The ring is great wonderful different and totally my style and I get lots of compliments on it. We will have the inside of the band engraved when we get married. Big step for me because I did not even want an engagement ring at first! Thank you!- Dawn M.,

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.,
