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...

I had become frustrated trying to find a ring at local jewelers due to the limited selection so I thought about trying the web for an option. I was very hesitant at first in ordering something as expensive as a wedding band from a website. After researching the business’s reputation and reviews plus talking with a sale rep a few times on the phone I began to feel a lot more comfortable about the purchase. The selection that WeddingBands.com offered was incredible. The descriptions along with ring photos made it easy to browse through all the choices. With so many selections I had a hard time deciding but in the end found a ring that was exactly what I was looking for.
Immediately after purchasing the ring I received a purchase confirmation e-mail telling me the estimated date for completion and shipping of the ring. The ring shipped exactly on the date estimated and promptly arrived at my home in a nice box with accompanying appraisal and order paperwork plus info on returning if needed. The quality of the ring was excellent the fit perfect and the free engraving on the inside of the ring was the special touch. Overall I’m extremely pleased with my purchase and would recommend WeddingBands.com to anyone looking for that special ring.

My fiance was looking for a specific band. He wanted one with black antiquing and we looked at several jewelry stores in Huntsville AL and in Winchester Tullahoma TN. Could not find what he wanted. I began a search on-line and Weddingbands.com was able to fix exactly what we were looking for. Ordered and delivery was prompt also.- Kay,
