Leading Online Jeweler Reports Contemporary Metals Outpace Gold and Platinum.
Jersey City, NJ (1888PressRelease) January 20, 2013 - Titanium-Jewelry.com, leading on-line jeweler of mens jewelry and wedding bands, reports that sales of mens wedding bands made of contemporary metals outpaced those of precious metals in 2012.
J.R. Yates, CEO and founder of Titanium-Jewelry.com and Yates & Co Jewelers, physical jewelry store in Modesto, CA, says, "For the past several years on Titanium-Jewelry.com we have seen a growing trend of men choosing contemporary metals for their wedding bands. Mainly these have been titanium, black titanium, cobalt wedding bands, and tungsten carbide rings sold through our website. However, this past year even our local customers who shop at our store Yates & Co are coming in asking to look at bands for him in these modern metals. Seldom do we have a young man looking at a gold or platinum band. Even those not so young are now gravitating towards these newer metals for their rings."
One of the most popular brands that couples are purchasing for his wedding band is TRITON. Triton is one of the leading men's contemporary metal jewelry brands, offering cutting edge designs and the largest selection of styles in tungsten, titanium, stainless steel and cobalt. In fact, more searches are performed on Google for the Triton brand of mens wedding bands than any other brand.
Yates goes on to say, "White gold, palladium and platinum will always be in the mix for mens wedding bands, but primarily for those that are not budget conscious. Mens rings in these precious metals start at around $600 and can easily approach $2,000 in platinum. A lot of guys like the price of these contemporary metals rings for a third of the price. And the designs are masculine and the rings last forever."
It's apparent that precious metals have lost some of its grip on the males bridal ring sales.
Unless the price of gold and platinum drastically drop the trend of men choosing contemporary metals is unlikely to slow down.
