Should we solder band and e-ring together?

[Paxonator]

It was suggested to me that we should really consider not soldering the wedding band and e-ring together. The ring is a 3 stone with micro pave diamonds along the top of the band. The wedding band is thin and only has micro pave diamonds along the top half. I was told there would be not that much risk of them damaging each other. The suggestion came for when we have kids that my fiance might not want to have the e-ring on all the time. With the risk of scratching them.

I'd love to hear some thoughts.

Thanks,

Travis

I'd think soldering them together would limit what you can do in future with them. I wouldn't do it.

Ditto, but it's personal preference.

Hi,
Not having the rings soldered provides more options. Sometimes it's nice just to wear the wedding band alone, especially when wearing gloves or if your wife takes the kids to the park or something where she's more active!

Yup I agree with the previous posters. I think over times your taste changes so it helps if you can switch up your rings alittle bit. However, I would be slightly worried about damage to your current set so I would get a thin spacer and wear between the two rings. You can get them off ETSY for under $200 that are about 1mm or .8mm by JuneDesigns.

no,you'll be sorry in the future if you did.

I would never do that. I would have gotten one wide e-ring if I wanted it all stuck together! I definitely wear a wedding band sometimes with another band instead of my solitaire.

I'd get a spacer but I wouldn't solder. Also if she has kids her finger size may go up. And it's a pain to size anything soldered.

Thanks for all the replies. I'll show this thread to my fiance and look into those spacers.

I wanted to share another option that my husband came up with for this same issue. The other posters are absolutely spot-on with the idea that flexibility is key. However, in my case due to the damage that rings can cause as they rub against one another and the fact that a spacer wasn't a viable option for me, my hubby came up with an alternative solution. He bought me two wedding bands so that my e-ring & w-band could be *tacked* together, for ease of everyday wear, but I'd also have a second w-band that can be worn alone. I use the word *tacked* because very small bits of solder were used to attach the rings so that I can have them separated in the future if I'd like. I'm only a consumer, and not an expert by any stretch, so you can bet that *tacked* is not the correct term for this (LOL ) but I'm sure the experts can help with details if you have questions about how attaching/detaching works. I just wanted to give you another idea for you & your sweetie to consider!

I agree. Don't solder them together.
