When you get married, not only do you gain a loving spouse, but you also gain a new piece of jewelery! Follow these easy steps to wear your wedding 
band and your engagement ring together.

Instructions

Things You'll Need

  • An engagement ring
  • A wedding band

      It's called a "ring finger" for a reason. Wedding bands and engagement rings are typically worn on the finger next to the pinky on the left hand. This tradition started with the Romans, who thought that the vein in this finger led directly to the heart.

      Consider which ring to put on first. Usually the wedding band is put on the finger first, followed by the engagement ring. This would make it easier to remove the engagement ring when doing messy work such as gardening. (If your wedding ring is simply a gold band, it would probably not need to be removed when doing messy work.) However, if the engagement ring does not fit as well as the wedding band, you might consider putting the engagement ring on first to prevent it from slipping off.

      Decide if you want to solder the set together. Soldering the wedding band to the engagement ring essentially turns two rings into one. It is fairly inexpensive to have done and it prevents the rings from twisting different directions while on the finger. This is especially helpful with wedding sets that are made to fit inside each other, such as solitaire enhancers or wraps.
