Soldering Rings Together
Once you put on your wedding and engagement rings, you'll probably never want to take them off. Many sets are designed to match each other's contours and nest, but rings that simply sit flush when worn together sometimes spin on your finger.
This means you may be constantly straightening your wedding band to make it line up with your engagement ring, which can be frustrating and tiresome, and can also lead to excess wear on the band from the friction caused by constant spinning. Fortunately, our professional jewelers can solder your rings together so they stay lined up but still maintain the appearance of a set.
Process Overview
Depending on the particulars of the rings you want soldered together, we'll take special precautions to avoid damaging any gemstones or other delicate features present. And while we approach each job with an eye toward the individuality of the pieces, our process generally follows the same set of steps.
- The first thing we do on this type of job is to clean each piece thoroughly and check the tightness of the gemstones.
- Next, we'll line up both bands to make sure they're perfectly level, using a temporary wire to hold them in place.
- Once they're aligned, we use a laser to solder the rings together without impacting any of the other design elements in either piece.
- Finally, we'll check gemstone tightness again, and we'll refinish and polish your rings to get them back to like-new condition.
Why Soldering?
Not everyone chooses to have their wedding set or other rings soldered together, but there are several advantages to going this route. For instance, you won't have to worry about either ring spinning on your finger, so you can be sure they're always perfectly lined up. And since you likely wouldn't ever wear one of these rings without the other, there's really no reason not to attach them.
Refinishing
No matter what type of finish is on your rings, we can restore it once we've finished soldering them together. Our skilled craftsmen have extensive experience working with fine custom jewelry, and we can reproduce or enhance any style or effect.
We can also put a new type of finish on your rings if you're looking to change up the appearance or style of the set. Our professionals will make recommendations if you'd like based on the particulars of your pieces, and we'll carry out exactly the modifications you specify so you can have rings you're excited to wear day in and day out.

It took over five jewelry stores before I was directed to Joseph Jewelry by a good friend. I am so glad that she referred me to them! My husband and I were looking to have a round cut diamond eternity band made for me for our 10 year anniversary. We wanted something really special made and reached out to Joseph Jewelry where we met Michelle. She was so helpful in walking us through the process of having my custom ring made. We thought the price was quite reasonable for the work that would be done and we liked that it was done right on the premises (a couple of places we visited had to have the setting done elsewhere, outside the U.S.). Every step of the process, the team at Joseph Jewelry kept us updated and delivered the ring much earlier than anticipated. The ring is absolutely gorgeous! At 5.5 ctw and set to perfection, it is a real stunner. I hope you will consider this wonderful jeweler if you are ever looking to have a special piece of jewelry made! I would highly recommend! Thanks Michelle and the team at Joseph Jewelry!
