ALTERNATIVE METAL BANDS

Men today have more options than ever when it comes to choosing alternative wedding ring materials. With multiple styles, patterns and colors to choose from in a variety of metal types like Cobalt, Meteorite, Platinum, Tantalum, Titanium and Zirconium, Alternative Metal Bands help you shift toward a more unique, non-traditional style.

A ring to last a lifetime. It is rare to find something that lasts forever. We all want to be that couple that makes it to their 50th wedding anniversary. It takes a relationship built upon a permanent foundation, one of endurance, to make it that far. The wedding ring, the eternal round, and the material used in it, is a perfect symbol of these characteristics. Cobalt is exceptional in that it looks and feels like a precious metal, but has the durability of aerospace grade alloys. Hard, durable and never to wear thin, cobalt represents a love that will last forever.

Sometimes it takes millions of years to craft the perfect ring. And then have it delivered from space. Consider two people, drawn together by an undeniable attraction. Yesterday they were strangers; today they are on a unique journey – a journey that will determine who they become together. As two worlds collide, love can happen in an instant. But, the foundation for a lifelong relationship takes much longer to solidify. The lovers’ journey – from initial meeting to marriage and beyond – is an apt metaphor for the authentic Gibeon meteorite used in our rings. This rare type of meteorite is composed of metals which were formed in a super-heated state and cooled over the course of 4 billion years. This slow cooling, or solidification, settled the molecules in a crystalline structure, similar to what you’d see in a diamond or gemstone. Not only does this rare phenomenon not occur naturally on Earth, but it’s also what gives the metal its distinctive, patterned look and priceless meaning. Wear a meteorite ring and forever remember that what you and your loved one become over time is so much more than the attraction that initially brought you together.

Tantalum is highly versatile and comes in a range of shades, finishes and textures. Tantalum is a rare, blue-gray metal known for its durability and unique aesthetic appeal. It is resistant to corrosion, making it an ideal choice for jewelry that needs to withstand daily wear and exposure to various elements. Tantalum rings are hypoallergenic and scratch-resistant, making them a popular choice for both men and women.

Titanium is a light grey metal with great durability and strength. You would do anything to support, protect, and strengthen your other half. And they would do anything for you. No matter the odds, you know that your relationship won't break, snap, or fall apart. Your relationship is full of trust and dependability. Titanium is the strongest metallic element by weight, so it is only fitting that it be used to symbolize such an unbreakable love. Wear a titanium ring and you will be reminded of the powerful connection between you and your special someone every time you put it on and take it off.

Selecting zirconium is perfect for those who like black wedding rings. Zirconium's identifying characteristic is simply black; classic and timeless. On a wedding ring, it is brave and daring, and would bring out the adventurer in you. In its natural state, zirconium is a silver-grey color. It earns its stark black appearance through our proprietary heating process, in which a layer of hard black oxide grows on the metal. This black layer is much harder than raw zirconium, but it is very thin. Unlike oxidized silver and black rhodium, this layer does not rub off over time. It is also more durable than black-coated rings, such as black titanium and black tungsten.

Alternative Metal Bands may be made using other kind of materials like Carbon Fiber, Damascus, Platinum, Dinosaur Bones, Bronze, Gold and Tungsten. Gold wedding bands are a very popular choice for men for gold is timeless. If you are looking for something different, the following selection may well be what you are looking for.
