    I am really having a tough time making the decision weather or not I should get my e ring and wedding band sodered together. If I wear them together then they twist and turn etc and they look silly unless you fix it because my band has diamonds, but not all the way around. So ladies did you get your sodered or not and why did you make that decision?

    @organizedbride11: I did not get my rings soldered together. I want the option to wear my wedding band on its own with other bands or with my e-ring.DH doesn't want me to wear my engagement ring all the time now that we are married, so if I had soldered it I would have to go ring-less.

    Also my e-ring and band are not a matched set so I don't think they'd look good soldered together. Finally my wedding band is an eternity band, so if it twists it doesn't really matter.

    I didn't/won't. Both my rings have eternity bands so spinning isn't an issue. I like having the option of wearing just my wedding band or one on each hand. Soldering is too much of a committment for me.

    Hmm good points!! I know that it is easier if I am doing something like sports to be able to just wear my band.

    I had mine soldered together and I'm really glad I did! Both of my rings have kind of a curvy shape and they always spun independently and drove me crazy. Now they stay put and I love the way they look together! If I'm doing something active, I just take my rings off and leave them at home.

    I think it just depends! I knew that I'd probably never wear just one or the other, so it made sense for me to have them soldered.

    @lindseyrose: Good point I guess I could just take my rings off if I was doing something active I never really considered that for some reason. Good to get opinions from both sides. I think I will have to do it because unlike the other ladies that posted my rings do not have eternity bands and therefore look really odd when the spin lol

    I wasn't going to but lately I've been thinking about it... You can see even in this picture how fast my rings turn and aren't centered. =/

    I was going to. But then realized that I would frequently have to be ringless if I did that because certain places in the hopsitals you cant wear rings that have diamonds on the because the risk of injury to patients like NICU or anytime one sterile gloves. So I have my plain wedding band that I will be able to wear all the time then my engagment ring I can wear most of the time. Though my ering doesn't really spin and the other is a plain band so it wont matter if it did.

    I'm going to get mine sodered. My mother has hers sodered as well. 

    One thing I'm going to do is buy a very cheap plain band which I will use for my sports and traveling. My e-ring and wedding band both have a ton of diamonds and I don't necessarily feel comfortable wearing them in other countries. I know plenty of people who do this.

    i had my soldered as well and it was hands down the best decision ever!

    I like them to be even and line up and they dont spin around half as much as they use to!!!

    its really easy to get them un soldered so I didnt see the big deal if I ever wanted to change it up lol :D
    Hope this helps!!!

    @PrettyRoyalT: Thats a really good idea. A stand in plain band!

    @HappilyEverAfter54: I can see what your man. I love your rings though :)

    @chasesgirl: Ah yes I can see that. Understandable in your job I suppose.

    Thanks for your input ladies.

    @MrsRuby: Oh you can get them unsodered as well? I did not know that! I think I am leaning towards getting them sodered!!

    I had mine soldred and am so glad I did.  Mine are a set, and the band is pretty thin so I'd never wear it by itself, so it just made sense.  I really don't miss all the twisting they used to do.

    I'm definitely not getting mine soldered together. I want to forever be able to wear my original wedding band regardelss of the situation. (Stand in rings are great for vacation or something, but day to day I want to always wear my wedding band.) I know that when I have kids, it won't always be practical to wear my e-ring, and so I want options!

    Also, I will have a gap between my rings due to the shape of my e-ring (which I love), so it would look kinda funky to have them soldered together.

    I think it depends on the rings and your lifestyle.  I have a honking rock of an e-ring Laughing but my husband and I travel internationally quite a bit and like to hike and camp.  Because of this, I need the option to just wear my wedding band and chose not to get them connected.

    I will be. One of my girlfriends noticed her bands were wearing at the spots where the spun from rubbing on each other, so she got them soldered. I will do the same. It's only been 2 weeks since i started wearing it and they are already making me CRAZY.

    I did not get my rings soldered. I have a cathedral set e-ring with pave diamonds, and my wedding band has  diamonds that match the ones in the e-ring. As in, it is not an eternity band and when I wear them together it does have a tendency to slip. I spin it back around, and go about my day. I've been wearing them like this for about a year now, and it doesn't really bother me too much. I don't even really notice anymore, and just reach down and spin it around. It is similar to wearing a necklace and spinning the clasp back around behind your neck. 

    I wanted to keep my options open. I can see myself not wearing my e-ring when I have a newborn or am playing contact sports. I figured I could always get them set together if I changed my mind. A few of my married friends really regret having them soldered together.

    I didn't get mine soldered; I like having the option of only wearing my band. Plus, there's a bit of a gap between them due to a diamond nubbin on my e-ring, so it would be a bit tricky.
