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
I bought the most beautiful Wedding band from Wedding Band dot com. It was a terrific value and the shipping was spot on time. I was so proud of my choice !!! THEN my new wife wanted something different and much Cheaper. They were so understanding at Weddingbands.com. They quickly shipped the cheaper ring and didnt even gouge me on a restocking fee. These people are fantastic I cant believe how nice and understanding they were on such a horrible request o n my part. I wont shop anywhere else again even if I pay more the service is worth anything they would ask but they are also usually the cheapest too !!!- Daren And Anne C.,

Back in 2016 when we decided to finally make it official we ironically had 12 days to plan our wedding....and it all honestly fell into place as if it had been planned for a very long time. We found wedding bands.com online and found the perfect ring....the Grand Canyon....it was truly a mix of us... yellow gold and white gold both polished and satin in a wave design around the band. We ordered them and can honestly attest this jeweler is amazing! We got the rings in time for the ceremony and since then we have sent both of them back for inspections and refurbishing. As our 7th anniversary was approaching 10/23 we contacted the jewelers and scheduled our bands to be sent back to be inspected refurbished and refinished. This company is beyond professional...in communications and advice on the products they create and take pride in taking care of.
They kept the rings for almost 3 weeks giving them the time to make them look new again and today we received them back...looking like they did the day the originally arrived 7 years ago.
They communicated with us by email and phone from our initial contact to send them back for inspections/refurbishing and followed up till they arrived back to us today.
They are the type of organization that existed years ago in the old days....they take great care in what they create for you and take great pride in keeping you as a satisfied customer....we recommend them highly definitely a 10+ in todays retail world.- Kevin and Jim,
