Our most asked questions about men's cobalt wedding rings
-
Cobalt is a relatively new material that has gained popularity for men's wedding rings in recent years. There are several reasons why cobalt is used for wedding rings:
- Durability: Cobalt is an extremely durable metal that is highly resistant to scratches, chips, and other types of damage. It is also less prone to cracking than some other materials, making it a good choice for people with active lifestyles.
- Hypoallergenic: Cobalt is a hypoallergenic metal, which means it is less likely to cause an allergic reaction or skin irritation than other metals like nickel or copper.
- Affordability: Cobalt is less expensive than some other metals like platinum or gold, making it a good choice for couples who want a high-quality wedding ring without breaking the bank.
- Color options: Cobalt rings can be produced in a range of colors, including silver, black, and blue. This allows for greater customization and personalization of the ring.
- Easy to maintain: Cobalt is easy to maintain and does not require regular polishing or upkeep like some other metals. It can be cleaned with mild soap and water, making it a low-maintenance choice.
Overall, cobalt is a durable, hypoallergenic, and affordable metal that is increasingly popular for men's wedding rings. Its unique properties and customization options make it an attractive choice for couples looking for a wedding ring that is both stylish and functional.

Cobalt wedding bands can be resized, but the process is more complicated than with other metals such as gold or silver. This is because cobalt is a very hard and strong metal that is more difficult to work with. The design of the cobalt band is also going to factor into whether or not a particular style cobalt men's band can be resized.
If a cobalt wedding band needs to be resized, specialized equipment is needed to cut and remove a small piece of the band to make it smaller, or to add a piece of cobalt to make it larger. However, due to the hardness of the metal, this process can be more difficult than with other metals, and not all jewelry retailers will perform a cobalt ring resizing (some of our styles can be resized but others cannot).

Yes, cobalt men's wedding bands can get wet. Cobalt is a very hard, strong, and durable metal that is highly resistant to corrosion and can withstand exposure to water, moisture, and other liquids without rusting or deteriorating.
However, it is important to note that although cobalt is highly resistant to corrosion, it is not completely immune to damage. Over time, exposure to water, chemicals, and other elements can cause the finish of a cobalt ring to wear down or become discolored. Additionally, prolonged exposure to saltwater, chlorine, or other harsh chemicals can cause pitting or etching on the surface of the metal.
