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 wife recently lost her wedding band that we had ordered from your site two years ago. I wanted to surprise her on our anniversary but I couldnt remember what the exact inscription was. Customer service was more then happy to look up the order and let me know what the inscription said and what ring we had ordered before.
I had a new ring very quickly and was able to surprise my wife with the replacement for our anniversary.
Ill be back to buy another if she loses this one too.
Thank you!- J B,

My fiance and I been looking for a perfect band for him until I found this ring in a shop in Sydney and we both loved it. I was going to buy it that week but by chance I found this website and luckily they had the exact same ring for a much cheaper price!!! I had to make some phone calls to make sure they are legit and their customer service was fantastic. They answered all my questions and were very helpful. I even remember Steve who helped with the credit card verification. Thanks Steve ! When we received it my fiance loved the ring so much that I had to literally take it off his hand and hide it as he wasnt gonna take it off! I definitely recommend the Wedding Bands to anyone I know they Are great! In fact we will be buying my wedding band from them too. Couldnt be happier great service products. What else can you ask for? Thank you WeddingBands team and keep up with the good job Nilu J. From Sydney Australia- Sydney Australia,

Ordering my ring from WeddingBands.com couldnt have been easier. I even asked for them to take the ring I liked with the look I wanted and make it in a different metal. Customer service was prompt and helpful and the price was just as quoted. The ring arrived ahead of schedule even though I had changed the design. Overall it has been an excellent experience and i am sure I will continue to get the same customer service and support for the ring I purchased. I highly recommend WeddingBands.com.- John P.,

I was skeptical to make a purchase of this nature over the internet and was impressed with the quality of the product that was delivered. I got a better value by dealing with this company direct instead of dealing with a chain jewelry store or department store. I would recommend this company to anyone.- RUSS,
