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...

Even though I have made purchases online I had some trepidation about buying gold jewelry especially our wedding bands online. However after reading MANY of the online testimonials and one clarifying phone call with the company I felt more at ease. Then we received our wedding bands but neither one fit. Feeling a little panicked I called the company and they couldnt have been nicer or more helpful! They immediately sent me an email outlining my concern and the information needed to mail back the rings. My partner was lucky because on the 2nd try his fit perfectly. Mine however needed to be returned a 2nd time again incredible customer service! and on the 3rd try it fit like a charm. I should also note that the turn around time was very quick...within a week. We are very pleased with the quality and look of the rings and we were very impressed when they arrived in a beautiful wooden box. I can honestly say that the rings and every contact we had with the company were exceptional. I do not have any reservation recommending weddingbands.com and I encourage all couples to consider purchasing their rings from them. You wont be disappointed and if like me you run into any issues e.g. size they make it very easy to resolve.- Mark D,

Looking for a 10th anniversary wedding band upgrade for my wife I did a good deal of shopping at various jewelers as I am relatively skeptical of purchasing expensive items online. I was generally disappointed with most of the jewelry store rings and almost all stores ended up just pulling out a catalog to show me what could be ordered. It appeared really no different than ordering online so after checking the Better Business Bureau listings and other reviews of quality and variety I found Weddingbands.com. I would also like to compliment the site design team for putting together a simple to follow site that brings up other examples for comparison and clear picture which were accurate to what I purchased. In the end I found a beautiful Handcrafted Tri-colored gold band that my wife simply loves and I assure you she is extremely picky. I was also pleased to see that the cost of the band was relatively adjusted to ring size as my wife is a 5.5 which was not taken into consideration at several jewelry stores i.e. same price for size 10 with much more gold as a size 5.5. I have since recommended this site to family and friends.
