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

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

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...

Love the bands, they are comfort fit. With comfort fit I ordered a size 5 1/2, it is snug. I should have probably ordered a 5 3/4. Otherwise no problems.- Beth H., AZ

your website is awesome easy to use and product quality is superior we bought our 18k yellow goldhalf round classic wedding bands for $700 after requesting a free sizer to be sent to us. The price was far better than what they were trying to charge us for 9k in Australia and they fit perfectly!! we saved over $1500 by buying through weddingbands.com. Fast friendly and ring was here within 2 weeks faster than local jewelers could do. will definitely recommend to anyone. Cheers Rick..8- Rick G., Northern Territory Australia

I just wanted to write to say thank you for the beautiful wedding band. I had looked all over for something I wanted that was different and yet was compatable with my engagement ring. I went to all the local jewelers and was not able to find anything. As a last resort I tried the internet and low and behold came across your web site. Not only was I able to find one I liked, now I had to choose between several beautiful designs! The one I chose was more beautiful in person than even over the website. It is positvely the most beautiful wedding band I have ever seen. I have received numerous comments on the band. It is the Etruscan band and it matches with my engagement ring that has trillians on the side. How can I ever thank you enough for the prompt, couteous service I received and the most beautiful wedding band!!! Thank you so very much!!! - Nancee A., OH
