What is a buffer band? And why would I want one?

When it comes to wearing both an engagement ring and a wedding band, achieving a seamless fit can sometimes be challenging. This is where a buffer band, also known as a spacer band, becomes invaluable. A buffer band is a thin, unadorned metal ring designed to sit between your engagement ring and wedding band, ensuring they fit together harmoniously and preventing potential damage from friction.

One of the primary reasons to consider a buffer band is to protect your cherished rings. Over time, the constant rubbing between an engagement ring and wedding band can lead to scratches or even loosen the settings of precious stones. By introducing a buffer band, you create a protective barrier that minimizes direct contact between the two rings, preserving their beauty and structural integrity.

Additionally, buffer bands are particularly beneficial when your engagement ring and wedding band don't sit flush against each other. Certain ring designs, especially those with intricate settings or protruding gemstones, can create gaps when paired with a wedding band. A buffer band fills this space, providing a more cohesive and comfortable fit.

At Robinson's Jewelers, we understand the importance of both aesthetics and functionality in your jewelry. Our collection includes a variety of buffer bands crafted from high-quality metals such as white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, and platinum, allowing you to choose one that complements your existing rings perfectly.
