To solder or not to solder?

Hello, I was wondering what other women feel about getting their engagement rings soldered to the wedding band after the wedding. I have been reading mixed opinions in other forums about this. I have a Tacori petite crescent ring with a matching band, the sides have the signature engraving and some tiny diamonds set in it as well which I don't really want to lose. At the same time I run a lot and get sweaty and at work I have to constantly wash my hands due to patient care, so the rings will be moving or rotating constantly too. I do plan to wear both all the time as they are thin and lightweight.

Have any others got Tacori rings soldered ? Or suggestions/drawbacks in general? I haven't asked my local jeweler yet.

    It's honestly just personal preference. I personally enjoy the ability to just wearing the wedding band without worrying about what my e-ring setting is doing when doing physical activity (I still knock it on stuff all the time and I've been wearing it for almost 3 years). So no soldering for me.

    I wouldnt. If you ever want to change it up and stack, or just wear the band alone you wont be able to. Tacoris are a premium price partly BECAUSE of the side details. You wont be able to admire the sides!

    I'm not getting mine soldered. If my fingers ever swell (like in extreme humidity, or like I expect they will later in pregnancy) it's more comfortable to be able to take the E ring off and just wear the band. They move around a little bit but it doesn't bother me. As long as both rings are the same metal, they shouldn't damage each other by sliding.

    I don't have my soldered and never considered it. I like having the option of just wearing my band (in fact, that's what I did during most of our honeymoon in Mexico, since I didn't feel comfortable wearing my big honking diamond around).

    I also tend to wear just my band when I work out or go running. It's just more comfortable since my fingers usually swell or sweat.
