Soldering Rings... yay or nay?

I asked my FMIL about this because she had hers soldered together. She said for everyday wear it's convenient but there's two downsides that she finds:
1) you lose the one, you lose the other.. and depending on your situation that can be a ton of money
2) as someone who enjoys traveling, it's not always a good idea to be wearing a very expensive engagement ring, especially when going to poorer countries, but doesn't want to go without a ring because it can cause unwanted attention. To get around this, when she travels she bought a cheap CZ ring from Walmart and wears that when she travels

I don't think I will be. My wedding band is an enhancer so it has two bands and my engagement ring fits inside it. We got married Saturday and so far it hasn't really bothered me with them being seperate. Plus the engagement ring is a family heirloom so I don't think I'd want to ruin that.

I will be getting mine put together. They are curved and it already drives me nuts fixing them all the time!

I have a silicone ring for travel, so i'm not too concerned about not being able to wear them seperate (especially because of the curve, my band looks silly if I wear it solo).

I've decided to keep mine separate because I like the idea of having the option to wear them separately. Another popular trend is stacking your bands together and wearing them separately on different fingers. Also, if i'm travelling, I rather leave my engagement ring and home and just wear the band itself.

If I decide to get them soldered together it will definitely not be right away. I will see if in the future its something I feel I need.

I'm not going to bother! I like having the ability to just wear my band!

I am leaving my wedding band separate since I do not like to wear my engagement ring to work. It is part of a set though, so once my husband gives me the top band (presumably for our one year anniversary) I will get that and my engagement ring soldered together.

I personally don’t like the bulkiness of two bands and I don’t think I’d want to always wear my engagement ring (if we go on vacation, outdoor activities, etc.), so I’m leaving mine alone.

I will probably be getting mine soldered since I have a lifetime protection plan that covers cleaning as well. I have a bend in my wedding band to go around my e-ring's twist so it'll drive me crazy to not do it

View quoted message Thanks! I love it! 😁

View quoted message Beautiful ring! I agree, I say do it! Lol

View quoted message As you can see, my engagement ring has an interesting shape as well. My wedding band will fit around mine as well and I can see me forever fixing it!

I am definitely getting mine soldered! Mine fit together in a way, and I don’t want to be adjusting it all the time. And I would never wear my band on its own, it’s a weird shape lol sorry, the diamond looks a little weird. This isn’t my wedding band, it’s from the store. I actually go to pick up mine tomorrow so it should fit it perfectly

View quoted message Fair enough. I have a lifetime protection plan that includes cleaning and such on my rings, so that won't be an issue! Thanks for the input!

See, the only reason that my Mom wishes that she didn't have her engagement ring and two wedding bands soldered together, is because it is pretty hard to clean them now.

She got it done so that it would be harder to misplace if it's bigger (she lost her promise ring that my Dad got her ) but now she wishes she didn't.

I personally won't be getting them soldered together but that's just because it's an extra thing that I don't need right now.

P.S. Congrats on the engagement!
