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...
Testimonials
I lost me wedding ring while getting an MRI of my shoulder. They make you take off all metal. Anyways I had a comfort fit 6mm gold band with engravings and at wedding bands.com it was 50 cheaper than what I found at the local jeweler. The ring and engraving was gorgeous and was delivered in 3 days! Hopefully I will never have to get another one....but if I do I will definitely order again. Great company...no complaints!- Jim G,

We received our bands and they are absolutely gorgeous! We worked with Steve and guaranteed that we would get them on time and that we would love them and both were true. The rings on the website do no justice for what they look like in person! I recommend this site to everyone!- Suna and Mark,
