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...

Dear Weddingbands.com, I just received my wedding bands today in the mail, and I just wanted to tell you how much I am absolutely thrilled with your service!!! My rings arrived within 6 DAYS of my ordering them- not to mention that they were engraved for free and looked exactly like I hoped they would! They were carefully wrapped and handled, so I didn't have to worry about them arriving damaged, and they even came in these pretty little mahogany boxes! They were exactly what I was looking for! And the customer service was awesome! Thank you SO MUCH for your excellence! Sincerely, A Satisfied Customer- J.N., NC

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, CA

The wedding ring I ordered was exactly what I want. It was very easy to place the order and it arrived quickly. Our daughter and son-in-law bought their wedding rings from weddingbands.com and were so pleased that I ordered a band from the company as well. After nearly 15 years of going without a wedding ring its wonderful to have this simple band. Its perfect.- Jan V, Illinois
