Your wedding band is a piece you’ll wear every day – so it needs to be perfectly suited to you. At Peter & Co. Jewelers, we understand just how special a wedding ring is. At our jewelry store, we provide a wide selection of carefully curated wedding bands for men and women. If you’re looking for something a little more distinctive than a classic gold band, you can view a broad range of men's alternative metal wedding bands made with unique materials.

Located in Avon Lake, Ohio, Peter & Co. Jewelers serves customers in the surrounding area with fine jewelry, wedding, and engagement bands, jewelry appraisals, and skilled repairs. Here, we'll discuss different types of wedding bands and their benefits.

Shopping for Wedding Rings Online

Peter & Co. Jewelers makes it easy to shop online. You get to see the breadth of what some of the top brands offer and take your time in selecting the perfect ring for your union. It also gives you a chance to figure out what you truly want in a ring and jot down some questions to ask our jewelers in person. While browsing for wedding bands, you can often use the filters along the page to narrow down your choices by material, width, price, and more.

Alternative metal wedding bands come from leading designers like Lashbrook Designs. These rings are carefully and custom-crafted using several materials, such as:
  • Cobalt chrome: A lustrous metal that looks similar to platinum, cobalt chrome is extremely durable and will not tarnish, fade, or rust over time.
  • Damascus steel: Designed with ancient techniques dating back to the third century, these bands are made with two alternating types of stainless steel for a unique patterned look.
  • Titanium: An increasingly popular option, titanium is extremely strong but very lightweight. The silver color is similar to platinum but slightly darker.
  • Zirconium: This is a black, crack-resistant metal that is hypoallergenic.
  • Silicone: A flexible but durable rubber, silicone bands are a good alternative to a precious metal when traveling, at the gym, or working in an industry such as construction where a wedding band can get damaged.
In addition, the jewelers at Peter & Co. Jewelers can inlay a variety of materials into your gold or alternative metal band, including:
  • Hardwood: These inlays can be made with a variety of unique types of wood sourced from all over the world – it's sanded, polished, and sealed with resin to protect it from wear and tear.
  • Meteorite: These rings are made with inlaid Gibeon meteorite, a rare material sourced from the Namibian desert.
As with several other types of wedding bands, you also have your choice of band width. Alternative material bands are available in a variety of sizes, from 2 - 10 mm wide. Choosing an ideal width helps ensure your ring feels comfortable on your finger for as long as you both shall live.

Lashbrook Designs creates each ring to order and with an expansive variety of metals, inlays, and sleeves there are literally millions of possible combinations. You can truly make a one-of-a-kind band!
