Care should always be taken to avoid wearing rings on neighboring fingers. Gold is a relatively soft metal, as are silver and platinum - that, among other reasons, is why they are suitable for jewelry and stone settings. Wearing rings on fingers that touch each other allows the rings to abrade one another and scratch metal away from the shanks. Over time you will not only have a scratched up ring, but one with less metal in the band than it started out with. For the longevity of your precious rings, do not wear them where they can rub against other rings.
