Precious. Say it out loud – “precious.” Just a few years back, a majority of the wedding bands sold in the United States were made from precious metals. Platinum and gold ruled nearly every jewelry case from coast to coast, and even palladium was gaining some popularity as a better choice over white gold if platinum is not an option. Yet today, precious metals seem to be less in demand, while wedding bands made with tungsten and titanium – which now can be purchased online at rock bottom prices (some for less then $50.00!) – are becoming more and more popular.
When shopping for your wedding band in Philadelphia, what are some of the characteristics that you consider? Are you looking for jewelry that is precious and has value?

Below is an article currently featured on WeddingPlanningandAccessories.com about the top selling wedding bands that are found on Amazon.com today.

Amazon.com’s best selling wedding bands
I guess when you look at what is currently considered best selling wedding bands on Amazon.com, it really is a sign of the times. There are a lot of tungsten and titanium wedding bands that are selling for less then what you might typically see in a brink-and-mortar jewelry store. And in the Top 100, you can see affordable precious metals such as sterling silver and 10kt or 14kt gold. And if you take a look at this titanium wedding band by a new designer, they are selling it for just $9.99! So that really tells you what the true cost of titanium might be. And also that the American public is looking for great deals.
It’s a shame that when it comes to the Internet in America, precious metal wedding bands seem to be forgotten. And according to this article on NationalJeweler.com (Blue Nile bullish on U.S., eyes growth overseas), even a big online retailer like Blue Nile is looking to expand overseas for further growth. Hopefully that will help the precious metal wedding band market overall.
