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 partner is absolutely thrilled with his wedding ring and cant wait to wear it. He says it even looks much better for real than in the picture! Service was great inscription beautifully completed delivery all the way down under fast. And we know we have a very unique wedder for him as we have seen nothing like it here in Melbourne - anything close was at least double the cost. Would highly recommend this website. Thank you so much!- lynda L.,

My husband and I bought our rings with less than a week before our wedding and were immensely relieved when WeddingBands assisted us and got our rings to us so quickly.
I made a call to WeddingBands with some questions and was impressed with the excellent customer service skills knowledge and kindness of the person I talked to.
The rings are excellent. We ordered comfort fit yellow gold bands and could not be happier with them. Prices are excellent as well!- Abigail C.,

My Fiance and I went to the Jewelry store where we got my engagement ring to shop for the wedding bands. They were going to give us 40 off discount on the bands. We picked out 2 bands a 6 mm gold comfort fit band for him and 4 mm half round gold for me. We were going to pay almost $1200 for both and that was with the 40 off. I decided to go on line and look and I found weddingbands.com. We ended up getting a 8 mm 14 k gold comfort fit for him and 6 mm 14 k comfort fit for me and we paid just over $850 for both. This was what we were going to pay for just his 6 mm at the jewelry store. We ordered the rings and they came in less than a week and they were perfect. They fit great and were just what we wanted. I am so happy we bought them from weddingbands.com and not the jewelry store.- Melissa,
