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...

My husband and I were renewing our wedding vows at our 30th Anniversary and wanted to exchange new wedding rings since our current ones had been well worn to the point of breaking. We loved the variety to choose from and the quality of the rings were outstanding. What made purchasing them even more enjoyable was the warm and professional service we received from Edessa while they were being made and delivered. We had to wait alittle longer than expected but it was worth it since we had confidence that Edessa was not going to send us anything less than perfection in our new rings. Theyve got to last another 30 years and Im sure they will. Youve restored our faith in American Businesses and service. Thank you.- Eileen F,

My Fiance and I went to the Jewelry store where we got my engagement ring to shop for the wedding bands. They were going to give us 40 off discount on the bands. We picked out 2 bands a 6 mm gold comfort fit band for him and 4 mm half round gold for me. We were going to pay almost $1200 for both and that was with the 40 off. I decided to go on line and look and I found weddingbands.com. We ended up getting a 8 mm 14 k gold comfort fit for him and 6 mm 14 k comfort fit for me and we paid just over $850 for both. This was what we were going to pay for just his 6 mm at the jewelry store. We ordered the rings and they came in less than a week and they were perfect. They fit great and were just what we wanted. I am so happy we bought them from weddingbands.com and not the jewelry store.- Melissa,

The quality price and delivery of the ring I purchased exceeded my expectations. The customer service folks were very professional and a pleasure to work with. When they tell you that they will get back with you in ten minutes to answer a question expect to hear from them much sooner than that. In spite of the fact that I changed my order to a different size ring midway through the process I can honestly say that they bent over backwards to make it happen in a timely manner. You will not be disappointed when you do business with them.- Donald R.,
