This process requires maximum attention and sometimes takes a lot of effort and time.

Let’s also look at what sintering means?

The materials from which such things are made have different characteristics:
Silver - a very soft metal that requires very careful handling, since products made from such metal can easily deform. In addition, silver oxidizes and darkens over time.
Models titanium, despite their lightness, they are quite durable and do not cause allergic reactions.
Products made from this metal are ideal for people with sensitive skin.
Product inlay
Wedding rings are often decorated with semiprecious or precious stones, inserts of other metal or enamel. Modern jewelry design offers various types of inlay, including on the side edge of the product. Models with diamonds have a luxurious look, but their cost is quite high.

Precious metal alloys - sintering
This method of making wedding rings involves joining pieces of gold of different shades using diffusion welding without the use of solder.This is a modern innovative technology for manufacturing high quality wedding rings.
Models made using this technology are distinguished by original decorative qualities and can consist of two, three or more parts.

Sintering is trending
Jewelry made using the sintering technique has already gained wide popularity in many countries around the world. Rings that combine several different metals look expensive and unusual.

In most cases, no more than three colors are used for this purpose. This allows you to create a harmonious ensemble of different metals.
Important! A wedding ring made from multiple alloys must have a separate quality mark for each metal. If such a product does not have these marks, it is not recommended to purchase it.
Tips for choosing engagement rings
The variety of products of this kind can confuse any buyer. It is necessary to choose a product of this type based not only on its appearance, personal preferences, but also taking into account other equally important criteria:
Size. When purchasing such a product, do not forget that the diameter of the finger may increase throughout the day, so it is better not to buy a model that sits flush on the finger. It is recommended to allow half a millimeter of inner circumference for a loose fit.
Width. The shape of the hand and the size of the fingers can dictate certain conditions. If your hand is of medium length, it is not recommended to purchase massive products. Rings of any width will look impressive on thin and long fingers.
Profiles. There are different types: round, flat, ¾, ½ and several more. Sometimes it can be difficult to choose the ideal option from them. For such cases, jewelers created a universal profile - Comfort Fit, comfortable for fingers of any thickness and shape. An excellent choice for daily wear.
Purchase method. The most reliable option is to choose the appropriate model directly from the jewelry store. When ordering such products in online stores, there is a high probability of making a mistake with the size or style.
Important! Before purchasing wedding rings, you need to find out if any of the newlyweds are allergic to certain types of metals.
Wedding rings are considered to be a symbol of love and strong relationships, so it is very important to approach the selection of such products with the utmost responsibility. It is better to purchase them in advance (ideally no less than two months before the celebration).
