If you have an engagement ring and a wedding band ask your jeweler to solder them together. Why? If not soldered, the rings constantly rub against each other, wearing down the metal, explains Amy Helein, Lavalier jewelry insurance expert and GIA Graduate Gemologist.

But that’s not all. Amy says the rubbing can loosen and even chip stones, especially pave-set diamonds.

Getting your rings soldered together is inexpensive, yet pays big dividends in preserving them as a lasting treasure. If you wear multiple rings on the same finger you should solder your rings together.
