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...

My fiance and I decided to move up our wedding date and needed the rings in a hurry. The rings were shipped within 24 hours of the order. The customer service staff were very pleasant and our rings arrived on time. I would recommend doing business with this company. Their customer service department was very courteous and helpful.- Joanna D.,

Hello, I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the ring, and with the service I received. I would recommend your company to anyone!
My fiancee was impressed with the selection, found a unique ring (unlike anything we saw anywhere else) and it is beautiful. I had to return it for a re-size, but even that part went very smoothly. Your staff was helpful, and the turn around to get it back to me was very quick.
Thank you so much!

I wanted something simple yet of good quality. What I was seeing in local jewelry stores was either way out of my price range or light weight and somewhat cheap in appearance. The rings we received from weddingbands.com are of excellent quality thick and heavy gold weighted for an excellent price. They were delivered promptly and engraved correctly. Fine quality more than competitive prices excellent service. I will recommend weddingbands.com to others.- K,

My fiance and I just wanted to say thanks. We love our wedding bands and appreciate that we were able to easily return our first ones. We initially ordered the wrong size for my fiance and then the ring I ordered ended up not looking right with my engagement ring. We returned those rings with no hassle and got the rings we wanted quickly. Thanks!- Bronwyn D.,

Two-Tone Gold Comfort Fit Wedding Band - Item 110361. My wife bought this wedding band to replaced the one that I had lost while on a camping trip. This is the exact Byzantine Rope- Coil design that I had for over 25 years. I thought I would never be able to find the exact design ring but WeddingBands.com had it. The quality is nothing less than excellent. The support representatives were great.- Paul,
