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...

My husband and I decided to get married 10 days after we got engaged and needed bands very quickly. Weddingsbands.com not only helped get us rings on time they sent us 3 different ones so we could decide which ones we liked and they gave us the option to send what didnt like right back which we did. The service was better than excellent from stat to finish. A huge thank you to weddingbands.com. Highly recommended!- Freddie,

All I can say about weddingbands.com in short is Excellent products in affordable price outstanding customer service. Being new in this country I was a little hesitant to order a wedding ring for myself and after a lot of research selected this company to buy my platinum ring. I ordered a 5 mm comfort fit platinum ring that I was much cheaper compared to other jewelers in my locality. The ring was just awesome and delivered within 3-4 days along with authenticity certificated and appraisal letters as promised. I returned the ring 2 times for some sizing issue which were taken care by the customer service team so well. They are so prompt in answering every doubt a customer might have. I look forward to purchase more rings for my relatives and would definitely recommend others to go for it without any hesitation.- Dolon B.,

I will recommend you to everyone I know shopping for rings. From start to finish the experience was fabulous. I needed a certain delivery date. You all made it. When the ring didnt fit you all exchanged it. WB even took good care of a ring I sent as a size example and sent it back tucked carefully in one of those beautiful boxes. I broke the rules. You over looked it. Thank you for making a 20th anniversary special and memorable. I wish I could hug you all. MAB.- Mary Ann B.,

I purchased a 14k 5mm white gold band as a replacement for my original band I had lost in the ocean. I wanted a matte finish and searched the internet for days trying to find an affordable option for a white gold matte ring in my size. I ordered the ring here and received it very quick. One day ahead of the shipping estimate actually. I have to say I prefer this ring over my original. I love the look and it fits comfortably. I am very pleased.- Eric,
