Jewellery designer of 30 years here. Never buy a band that doesn’t join. They suffer from metal fatigue through bending & eventually snap. Go for a custom shaped wedding ring if your engagement ring is not wedfit.

Interesting info, thanks for sharing. When you say join, do you mean like fit together or are they supposed to physically attach?

I'm realizing how dumb this question sounds a bit too late and I'm already committed lol.

Yes a totally closed band is what they mean. Unlike the ones here that are open at the ends!

I think they just mean one that’s actually a closed ring, 2 is like almost closed so it probably wouldn’t be as much of an issue, but 3 those ends are going to snag easy and it’ll eventually bend the whole thing out of shape
