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...

Hi There, Just a note to let you know what a great experience it was dealing with WeddingBands.com. I was very leery of doing things via internet because I've had such bad luck in the past. I was so happy when the ring arrived in a timely fashion, it fits perfectly, and the quality is exceptional. We shopped at many retail sites and choose to go online because of your excellent selection. I admit I thought we would get a thin piece of gold that would bend like a pretzel. I was extremely impressed with the ring's looks, size, and weight in gold.
Thank you for making this a good expereince. I will highly recommend your site to everyone in need of jewelry.
Sincerely,
- Tammy T.,

I have been pleasantly pleased with your company. I stumbled across the website and havent regretted one moment. The ring is exactly the same as the local jewelry store with a savings of nearly $200. I appreciate that I had to sign for my purchase to ensure it wasnt lost in shipping. The certificate of authenticity helped me when I went to insure the rings. The detailed information was exactly what the insurance company needed from me. Wish I had found your website before purchasing my fiancés ring! Thank you very much for a flawless experience and I will tell everyone I know about your company and the excellent service I received.- Tami,
