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...

When I read the other reviews I thought they might have been canned or fake reviews because they appeared too good to be true. But here I am writing one because honestly - I could not be happier with the service and product quality through weddingbands.com.
It was so easy to select exactly the size and shape of simple white gold band that I wanted for myself - at HALF the price it would have been in a local store. And for my bride-to-be the local store couldnt even size the ring we wanted for her - but with weddingbands.com no problem.
Customer service was also incredibly helpful and knowledgable when we interacted with them so the whole experience was very positive.- Dave S.,

We bought both of our wedding bands from weddingbands.com and we couldnt be more pleased. The selection was terrific and we easily found just what we were looking for at a price considerably less than the local best jeweler store. I would order from them again in a heartbeat! The order was quickly processes and delivered within a few days. Just what we wanted.- Sharlene B. McD.,

After 20 years together it is finally legal in North Carolina to tie the knot. We searched for rings but the selection at local jewelers were seriously lacking when it came to rings for men.
So we decided to give a look online and found a great selection at WeddingBands.com that were available in both white gold and yellow gold-- since we didnt want matchy-matchy rings. His was a simple rounded white gold in a matte finish mine is wider brushed yellow gold. They are fine quality and very heavy.
We placed the order. And within a week we had them ready for our trip to the courthouse. But I ordered mine too big and it was easy to ship back and have a new one shipped. It arrived in only 3 days! Amazing.
Thanks for helping make our 20th year -- and first -- a day we remember every day.- Nate W.,

I couldnt be happier with my ring. I was pleased from the start with all of the information provided by the site about the specifics of the ring. No other site does all this. When I got the ring I was pleased with the packaging. The company does a nice job. Best of all is the quality of the ring. Its gorgeous! Id been looking for awhile and had ordered a ring from another online site earlier. No comparison in quality. WeddingBands.com is first rate!- Michelle B.,

I just received a wedding band that I ordered from this web site. My future husband and I are bikers and he wanted something different for a wedding band. We checked all the Harley sites and found nothing we liked. I found what I was looking for one here. I was very scared and hesitant at first after all it was a lot of money for something I was not seeing before paying for it. I also wanted a message engraved on the inside for him and had read horror stories about engraving and how poorly they were done. I just received the ring today and I am here to tell you it is everything I could have hoped for and more. It is perfect and gorgeous! The engraving I was so worried about was just as perfect as the ring. I would give this business 2 thumbs up and a perfect 10! Thank you for helping make my future wedding so perfect! ??- Judi S.,
