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...

I ordered my ring and got it in a very short amount of time. It was too small and my wedding was about ten days out. I sent it back and they made me a new one that was a little larger. I paid the difference and got another one that was still just a bit too small. It worked enough for the wedding and when we got back to the states I sent it back and they made me yet another one. And fyi It was totally my fault for the ring not being the correct size. Unbelievable product and service. Everyone that I spoke to on the phone there was so helpful. I would recommend them to anybody!! Thank you WeddingBands.com for making my once in a lifetime purchase an unforgettable experience. Your level of customer service is what people want and unfortunately do just not get anymore. Thank you for making this 1000 mile back and forth transaction via mail seem like a small town transaction with the jewelry store just 2 blocks over from the house.- Carlos V.,

The replacement gold wedding band I ordered for my husband fit very well using the ring sizing device sent by mail. The ring was engraved and sent within a day or two and was just as described.
We are very satisfied with the purchase and service.

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.

Also - they have an A+ rating with the BBB.- Amanda,
