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
We had two weddings. One over seas her family and one here in the USA my family. The ring was absolutely beautiful and excellent quality. Customer service was great and they assured me I would have the ring before I left for my over seas travel. The ring arrived as promised. She loves her ring.- Rich N.,

This is the 2nd time I have gone to WeddingBands.com to purchase a diamond anniversary band and they do not dissappoint ! Its very easy to get a hold of a customer service rep and email any specs or pictures to show exactly what you want in your ring. I usually look art the site to get an idea and then discuss my unique needs over the phone. This may be a slight change to the setting or diamond size. For my first order I wasnt sure if a website would be a good way to buy a diamond ring however they make it very easy to discuss your needs and send pictures in advance etc that I went back a second time for another ring to stack with the first. In the case of my second ring once received I wanted a different setting with thicker prongs and they worked with me until I got exactly what I wanted!
The quality of the diamonds are great and the customer service excellent!

I have had great experiences with WeddingBands.com. We purchased our wedding bands in 2009. My husbands was stolen from a hotel room so I purchased a replacement for his birthday. He was thrilled with the surprise.
The gentleman that helped me over the phone was extremely helpful and had all the information he needed from the 2009 purchase.
Thank you!- Dottie C.,

We bought both rings at 2 different times. The experience was wonderful in both cases -- great product and outstanding customer service. There was always someone to answer our many questions via phone or email. We returned one ring for re-sizing which was done promptly and without hassle. We love our rings. We highly recommend weddingbands.com!!!- MA KA,
