It's their Cobalt Chrome collection. My fiance and I just picked his band last night. His band is a actually a square design w/ slightly rounded edges. very sleek and is under $300. There are a couple diff models and looked to be in and around the $200-$350 range. I imagine some are more if including diamonds. FYI I can't find these on Benchmark website yet, but our Jeweler had a brochure and some samples. Benchmark also has cobalt now. It’s their Cobalt Chrome collection.

I never plan on throwing it against the hard floor. No worries. Good luck to the new guy and his line of rings - I guess. I own Tungten Carbide wedding band.

It's as white as platinum, and very light for a 7mm wide band. I am so allergic to metals containing nickel that there are very few options but I am definitely happy with this new ring. I purchased it from Jared and then went shopping around at the other jewelry stores in town and none of them have even heard of BioBlu. Its more economical than platinum, palladium and titanium and looks just as good. I just got a bioblu 27 wedding band and I love it. It’s as white as platinum, and very light for a 7mm wide band.

Mine is 18k white with stones, and for him we were wanting a simple but thick 14k white for him. Benchmark makes gorgeous men's wedding bands in gold. But the pricetag was outrageous. We weren't wanting to spend more than $500 on his, and for gold, $500 buys a very very thin tiny band. After looking at each metal available on the market, we decided to go with a Scott Kay cobalt ring. Its gorgeous. No, it doesn't have a blue color. Its maybe just slightly darker in color than platinum, but it will go with my 18k white set beautifully. And for the same size in millimeters as Benchmark gold one we were looking at, it was $600 less. My fiancee and I bought our rings this weekend.

This might be what the the world of gold earring needs right now (a segment that is dead at our retail store) I think there is a space for chandelier style earrings that aren’t all diamonds, like Emmy Rossum’s above.

The reason for this was the fact that they break. Yes, break. Most of the men that I know work in or around machinery and thus want a ring that will break if a machine catches it versus smashing and ripping there finger off. People need to keep this in mind when they are buying a wedding ring. All the people that I know that have a tungsten ring have it one purpose. The reason for this was the fact that they break.

Your platinum band does appear scratched. But as you might know, you can refinish platinum without losing much mass (if any). So if it was me, I'd wear it, and then have it refurbished every year. Heck - aren't scratches kinda manly anyway? :) Sure, David. Your platinum band does appear scratched. But as you might know, you can refinish platinum without losing much mass (if any).

I have seen some tungsten rings, which does not look white but very dark metallic feel. I was wondering how scratch resistant are they compared to tungsten and platinum? my Platinum band scratch too easily for my line of work.

This stuff is white as precious metals and very, very durable. A customer came in while the rep was here to replace a tungsten band that chipped badly. I hate selling it.

It all depends on what test on runs on a product to find out how durable it is. Some materials resist abrasion very well yet are soft and scratch like platinum and palladium that will not shatter when hit with a hammer. There are other materials like zirconium ceramic or diamond that are hard and don not scratch, but can be shattered with a hammer. One must test a product by looking at what happens during normal wear and tear. Would you test the durability of a diamond by hitting it with a hammer?

But at least with Scott Kay, he has the advertising clout to set his alternative metal rings apart from the rest. He also addresses the need to hit a certain price point fairly well.
