SK Cobalt Wedding Band from the Devout Collection for Men

With today’s troubled economy, times are hard.  Most of us are living with less disposable income while the cost of goods, in particularly precious metals such as gold and platinum, have gone through the roof.  CNN Money featured a story recently about jewelry designer, Scott Kay, and his innovative approach to creating fine jewelry that is affordable.  (The story can be viewed at: http://money.cnn.com/video/smallbusiness/2011/10/12/smb_sbt_scott_kay.cnnmoney/)  Mr.  Kay, in this interview, discusses why he turned his focus from utilizing gold and platinum in his popular wedding bands for men,  to using Cobalt 27 as his metal of choice.   Cobalt 27 has been used in the aerospace and medical sector for years because of the the metal’s amazing strength, light weight, and its ability to be molded.  But, it was some of the metal’s other qualities that grabbed Mr. Kay’s attention and interest.  Cobalt 27 also has a beautiful, bright white color and sheen similar to platinum, it’s hypo-allergenic, and it is a great value.  Mr. Kay experimented with using the metal in his designs and discovered that Cobalt 27 is just about the perfect material  to use as the basis for creating an attractive and long lasting  wedding band for today’s man.  Called SK Cobalt, Scott Kay’s line of wedding rings for men includes a variety of styles and designs from simple to elaborately etched.
