Platinum
A hypoallergenic platinum wedding band is a great option for couples with sensitive skin or allergies. While platinum is not completely scratch-proof, it develops a beautiful patina over time, making it one of the most popular choices among couples with sensitive skin. Platinum engagement rings are especially popular with people with skin allergies, as they are made from 95% pure platinum and 5% iridium. Since platinum is so durable and malleable, it's also a popular choice among jewelers.
Platinum is a natural precious metal that has a silver gray color. It's also very dense, giving it a more robust feel than other metals. It's also naturally hypoallergenic, which makes it a great option for couples with sensitive skin. Unlike gold, hypoallergenic platinum wedding bands can also withstand a fair amount of wear and tear, without changing color.
Cobalt
One of the benefits of cobalt as a wedding band material is that it's hypoallergenic. Hypoallergenic metals are very durable, which makes them a good choice for engagement rings and wedding bands. They can be resized and are scratch and corrosion resistant. Cobalt is also a very attractive metal, with a bright shine and smooth feel.
Cobalt is harder than gold, platinum and palladium, so it's a better choice for everyday wear. Cobalt is also more resistant to tarnishing than white gold. However, if you're sensitive to these materials, cobalt may not be the best option for your engagement ring. In addition, cobalt rings can be plated, but it might flake off over time and reveal the real metal underneath. Ideally, you should choose cobalt rings that are made from a natural color of cobalt.
Wooden Wedding Bands
Wooden wedding bands have a long history of being used as wedding bands. For centuries, these rings were made from wood, antler, and bone, but nowadays, they are often made from titanium, damascus, or ethically sourced wood. They have also become an increasingly popular alternative to metal wedding rings.
The wood used in these rings comes from trees and is a powerful symbol of life and growth. Wood must grow from a seed to a mature tree before it can be used in rings. This metamorphosis is particularly important as it relates to us as individuals.
