ALTERNATIVE METALS GUIDE

Alternative metal wedding bands offer durability, affordability, and unique aesthetics compared to traditional gold and platinum. 

Cobalt

Made from a highly durable alloy, cobalt is four times harder than platinum while at the same time, less dense. Because of its natural hardness, cobalt jewelry is extremely scratch, chip, and corrosion-resistant. Its lower density and natural malleability allow for strong, dynamic designs with less weight. Cobalt is also hypoallergenic, making it an ideal choice for those with sensitive skin or an active lifestyle. 

Damascus Steel

Damascus steel, that has its own somewhat mythical origin story, rooted in the Near East. It can be traced back to India to around 500 AD. These steels have an attractive surface pattern composed of swirling patterns of light-etched regions on a nearly black background. The pattern-welded steels are produced by forge welding alternating sheets of high and low-carbon steels. This composite is then folded and forge welded together, and the fold/forge cycle is repeated until a large number of layers are obtained.

Seranite

Seranite is a ceramic-based material known for its exceptional durability and scratch resistance, similar to titanium. Its low 5% electrical conductivity makes it a safer choice for electricians and other hands-on professionals. Hypoallergenic and resistant to tarnish and fading, Seranite offers both lasting performance and sleek, modern style.

Tantalum

Tantalum is highly scratch-resistant and hypoallergenic. Naturally a blue-gray metal, our tantalum is 99% pure.

Titanium

Titanium is a unique and strong metal with incredible value for men’s wedding bands. With a solid foundation in the engineering and aerospace industries, titanium has a proven track record with the highest strength to weight ratio of any metal. 

Tungsten

Tungsten is an ultra-durable metal prized for its incredible strength and scratch resistance, making it ideal for everyday wear. Built with pressure points, tungsten is designed to crack under extreme pressure rather than bend, making it a safer option in emergency situations. Its natural weight and sleek finish give it a premium feel, while remaining tarnish-resistant, fade-resistant, and hypoallergenic—perfect for both comfort and style.
