it''s really up to you. I had soldered my original wedding set. I just never wore just the band and the band was notched so I wouldn''t have worn it by itself. My sister''s set is similar to yours and she soldered them together too and has never needed to just wear her wedding band. Also, the channel set diamonds on her rings never stayed lined up and that drove her nuts. soldering them together keeps them perfectly in line.

i bought a plain WG band that I wore i the rare occasions i didn''t wear my set.
the diamonds not lining up would drive me crazy, i''m probably the only one who will tell you to solder. it is however very easy to do and undo if you changed your mind.

That was one of the things I was weighing...
For: diamonds line up, less ring spinning with a thicker band?
Con: can''t wear alone
Just wanted to hear what was more common and some feedback on it. Thanks again!
I love the look of a plain band, a diamond band, and a e-ring between them... but then your wedding ring would look more like an anniversary band and the plain band your wedding band... the options are endless LOL The options lessen though if you cannot separate your rings. for your rings I probably wouldn''t solder them.Date: 3/28/2007 3:56:57 PM

Thanks again! A plan band or such would be a good idea. Don''t really know when I wouldn''t wear them together anyone... maybe if I''m traveling somewhere?
BTW I think your doggie picture is soooo very cute (avitar)!
Well, as I picture this, I guess you could solder and if another ring was added later, then just flip the soldered set around so that the diamond band would be nearest the knuckle, then ering, then wedding band. Wait, on second thought, the diamond band might chew on the ering, so maybe that ''s not such a hot idea. Ok, forget what I said. lolDate: 3/28/2007 4:56:44 PM

that''s true too.... I can wear 12mm worth of rings on my fingers but they are moving independently unlike 1 thick band. I''m getting one 6mm stand alone ring that will hopefully have an illusion of sorts of being 3 rings... but no soldering LOL And then I''ll still probably wear it occasionally with my wedding ring that will *not* match at all except in my heart... ::insert "awwwww" here:: heheDate: 3/28/2007 5:58:15 PM

There''s now way I could have done it. I never knew what the ''bloat'' factor would be. I may not have been able to get the thicker band off!
Sorry to hear about your grandmother''s ring. Why didn''t they come out even? That''s sadDate: 3/28/2007 7:03:09 PM

No no no! Too much commitment (lol!)! I have days when I can''t wear my e-ring because of the activities I''m doing, but I like to wear my wedding ring all the time, which would be difficult if they were soldered. I also would never do it because my grandma did it and regretted it. She finally got the set separated, but the rings aren''t even now.
*M*
I''m not sure why they didn''t come out even... she took it to our family jeweler (I believe) who is VERY good and knowledgeable, so I''m not sure what happened. It doesn''t bother her too much, but it drives me nuts, haha.Date: 3/28/2007 10:30:33 PM

I am in the same boat. Not sure if I want to solder them together or not. I have decided to try out Ring Snuggies and see how they work first. I have heard you can get them at Claires or Walmart and they are clear PVC which can hold two rings together. I will let you know how they work once I get them.
good luck with you decision!![]()
That''s a good point I haven''t thought of that! Thanks!Date: 3/29/2007 2:52:36 PM

Hi Sparkles, I vote no because sometimes you will want to wear your band without your engagement ring. For instance, at the beach or out hiking I''m always afraid of losing my diamond - even though it''s insured, it has sentimental value.
Also, I had a baby a few months ago, so I mostly just wear my band at home with yhim for 2 reasons - first, there''s no chance of him getting knocked or scratched by the prongs, and second, I have an asscher which smudhes easily, and with always putting lotion on the bayb, it would liook awful at the end of each day![]()
