Metals

Selecting your wedding band can be a daunting task to undertake. Here at Timeless Wedding Bands, we strive to make that descision as easy and comfortable as possible. One of the most common questions we receive is about all of the different types of metals we offer our wedding bands in and which one is right for them. What's the difference between a platinum wedding band or a gold wedding band? Is a titanium wedding band more durable? Every metal has its own unique properties and qualities that distinguish themselves in appearance and functionality. Below is a table describing some of the pros and cons of each metal we offer at Timeless Wedding Bands. If you have any further questions, our staff is available to answer any other question you may have by calling us toll free at (844) 226-8800.
