What is Cobalt?
Cobalt is a metal that can be found throughout many parts of the world. In its raw form, it is a grayish blue color. For centuries, it has been used to create blue glass, ceramics, pottery, tiles and blue paint pigments. When combined with other metals to make jewelry, it is bright, lustrous and resilient.

Is Cobalt Good For Jewelry?
Yes, cobalt is a fantastic--and increasingly popular--alternative metal used in men's jewelry. If you’re looking for something to elevate your style without spending a fortune, look no further. Cobalt jewelry is going to give you the same high luster as jewelry like white gold and platinum without the high price tag.

Does Cobalt Jewelry Tarnish?
No, it will not tarnish. One of its most redeeming qualities is its resilience. This contemporary, fashionable metal is non-corrosive, scratch-resistant and extremely durable. The hardness of cobalt makes it remarkably difficult to bend, break, chip, or fracture. Despite its durability, it is incredibly lightweight, making it a great choice for active guys.
How Long Will Cobalt Jewelry Last?
When properly cared for, it can last you for many years. Keep in mind that, like any other jewelry, it's not invincible. Our jewelry experts recommend removing your wedding band when engaging in any activity that might damage it. Take your wedding band off when doing any of the following:
-
Working out
-
Playing sports
-
Doing yardwork
-
Fixing up the house
-
Swimming
-
Using skincare products, which can leave a film on your ring
-
Showering or bathing
-
Working with chemicals (including common household chemicals.)
Make sure that your wedding band fits properly. If it's even a little bit too loose, you have a much higher chance of losing it or damaging it. Not sure how to find your ring size? Our handy

How To Care For Cobalt Jewelry
While cobalt is highly scratch-resistant, it isn’t entirely scratch proof. Cleaning and maintaining your cobalt jewelry is simple. In fact, you can do it with products you already have at home. We recommend following these simple cleaning steps about once a month, or anytime you notice your ring getting dirty.
-
Fill a bowl with warm water and add a few drops of mild dish soap.
-
Allow your jewelry to soak for a half hour to an hour. This will break up any dirt that could have cemented itself into any crevices or grooves.
-
Take your jewelry from the bowl— make sure to use tongs if the water is still too warm, and lightly brush it with a soft cloth or bristle brush.
-
Place it back in the water to let it soak for a moment before rinsing off any remaining soap with warm tap water.
-
You can dry your jewelry with a microfiber cloth or simply let it air dry. If you’d like to give it an extra shine, you can always use a jewelry polishing cloth.
These easy steps will prevent dirt from accumulating on your ring. Years down the line, it will look as stunning as it did the day you bought it.
