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 and I looked all over for unique band that I liked. One day I stumbled across WeddingBands.com. I was amazed at the selection and information on the site. I found a palladium band that I loved and have never seen anything like in in a jewelry store. So we ordered it. After the wedding it was a little too big. So we were able to exchange it for smaller size. The customer service is excellent. You will be extremely happy.- Graves,

Look around for the ring I wanted at all the name brand jewelry stores. I just wanted a simple clean wedding band and most were $500-$800. I took the plunge and found one on weddingbands.com and the quality of the ring was just as great but at 1/2 to 1/3 the price.- Arthur,

I ordered a white gold wedding band engraved with our names and soon to be wedding date engraved on the inside! The ring arrived quickly and in a beautiful hard plastic box that is very fancy looking! The engraving was a tad on the small side but Im not picky! It looks beautiful! and it cost a TON less than the exact same ring in a big name store would be! I would recommend this site to anyone looking for ring! I was skeptical about buying over the internet but I got my size almost perfect its a hair small but Ive got some winter weight to loose lol And from the rest of the reviews on this site nobody seemed to have any issues so I took the leap and I am very happy with my purchase!- Eva,
