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...

your website is awesome easy to use and product quality is superior we bought our 18k yellow goldhalf round classic wedding bands for $700 after requesting a free sizer to be sent to us. The price was far better than what they were trying to charge us for 9k in Australia and they fit perfectly!! we saved over $1500 by buying through weddingbands.com. Fast friendly and ring was here within 2 weeks faster than local jewelers could do. will definitely recommend to anyone.

Oh my I’m so pleased and delighted to be among the many here on this site that have provided their sincere praise of Wedding Bands.com…
Initially my fiancée and I selected our rings at a brick mortar jewelry store! The rings had to be ordered however after arriving and looking at my ring that day a bit closer I discovered a slight flaw in the design that we had chosen!
Unfortunately we returned my ring and was later told my size was not available…I was devastated!
We looked at several stores and decided to look online and I’m extremely happy that we did. We came upon Wedding Bands.com and completed a search and there was my ring!!!!
I placed an online order after reading over all of the online information to include testimonials shipping return policy etc. however before pulling the trigger and finalizing the sale I called the company!
My fiancé and I were very pleased that all of our questions were answered the sales associate/representative was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable the representative even asked the date in which we would need them! So we made our purchase and they arrived in about 8 days.
We are so very please happy excited with our purchase and looking forward to the day when we exchange our vows with my ring from Wedding Bands.com!!
Thank you all so very much
