Thoughts on Soldering Two Eternity Bands

[CymoneD]

Hello All!

My boyfriend and I are designing my engagement ring, and I know that I would like to have two eternity style rings. One band will be around 4.80ctw with a pink tourmaline in the center and the other will be just a regular eternity at around 3.40ctw.

The E-ring will have 30 point diamonds and the W-band will have 20 point diamonds both in a classic shared prong setting. I am hoping they will be able to sit nicely next to one another as I have seen some other PSers with a different size eternities together and they are lovely.

After all of that my question is...

Can any of you awesome folks give me your thoughts on soldering eternity bands? I have read a lot about rubbing and bands being ruined and I was considering having it done sometime after the wedding.

Thank you to all in advance!

My hesitation would be the obvious lack of flexibility.
I understand your durability concerns though...

Thank you for your thoughts Harpertoo.

I am curious about how I am going to feel wearing them both also which will be something I hope to decide when I go to try the sizes on together. I am a bit traditional in the sense that I want to wear both rings daily instead of the occasional "stacking" that I see a lot of others doing currently.
