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
Ordering such an expensive and deeply imporant item online sight-unseen made me extremely nervous. I am VERY happy to say though that Weddingbands.com proved my fears to be unwarrented. The ring was sent on time in excellent condition and appraised at exactly the price I paid for. It is BEAUTIFUL! I am so grateful for them and the personalized service I recieved. In addition the vast selection available through the site allowed me to purchase for my fiance an unusual style ring at less than half the cost of the only similar one I found in a retail store. Words cant fully express how glad I am that I decided to buy from Weddingbands.com. - J.S.,

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,

We ordered 6mm 18K gold heavy bands to celebrate our December 23rd wedding in Utah. They arrived exactly on time. The bands are perfect beautifully crafted and engraved. We are proud to have been married in Utah and proud of the symbol of our commitment to each other. I would recommend WeddingBands.com to anyone looking for a quality wedding band.- Robert and Hal,

I purchased our wedding rings few months ago and received both in good condition however I had a problem with one of the rings not engraved properly so I sent it back. It was taken care of right away. I am very pleased with the services. We bought the plain platinum rings and they actually feel very expensive considering the price we paid for them. Very happy customer - Maria,
