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 wedding ring from Wedding Bands as they offered a better price than I had found in Australia and also guaranteed the delivery date. I have received the ring today and it is exactly as represented on the web site and 2 weeks earlier than my cut off date and exactly 14 days from date of order. The whole process was tracked on the web with UPS keeping me advised of every movement. I am very impressed and have no hesitation in recommending them for price quality and delivery. Thanks again.

We were reluctant to purchase our wedding band via internet. We were put at ease and all of our questions were answered by polite and professional real people over 3 different phone calls.
We received our ring much quicker than anticipated. The quality and service of weddingbands.com exceeded our local jewelry stores and we were able to purchase a thicker platinum band for a much lower price. We highly recommend WeddingBands.com to you and our friends.- Robby and Charley C.,
