So, your journey of “I said yaaaaaas” begins – a big congratulations to you! And we’re sure your partner chose the perfect engagement ring,but have you ever thought what’s the difference between engagement ring and wedding ring? And, if you love your first “ring of love” so much, do you really need to get a coordinating wedding ring that goes with your unique style? At Trijewels, our experts will answer your most pressing questions, especially help you figure out the engagement ring vs. wedding ring debate, once and for all.

ENGAGEMENT RING VS. WEDDING RING

Both engagement rings and wedding rings carry significant meaning. The engagement ring is presented to a woman during a proposal or when a couple decides to get married. On the other hand, wedding ringsare exchanged at the wedding ceremony and worn starting from that time. Wedding ring represents the official bond of marriage and expresses a couple’s mutual love in both public and private.

Wedding rings tend to have simple designs, such as classic band like this plain bands or a diamond-encrusted eternity bands that you receive when you exchange vows during the wedding ceremony. In many instances, wedding rings don’t feature large diamonds and gemstones. So brides choose a Flat Comfort Fit, Milgrain designs or Micro Pave set band that complement their bigger engagement ring.

Engagement rings tend to be more extravagant and typically have one dominant stone, which either stands alone or is surrounded by additional small side diamonds. Considering your partner choice, engagement ring styles range from simple single stone designs like solitaire engagement ring to intricate designs ring like this custom design.

Due to their unique designs, the total carat weight of the engagement ring is generally higher than that of the wedding ring, resulting in a fairly significant price difference between both the rings.

To sum things up, the engagement ring is used to propose to one person in the relationship. It symbolizes a pledge of love and commitment for marriage. Wedding rings are worn by both spouses after exchanging vows during the marriage ceremony that represents the commitment, love and faithfulness of each other.

Engagement Ring or Wedding Ring, Which Should Buy First?

Well, it totally depends on individuals.

We mainly recommend that before you get down on one knee, you buy an engagement ring first, just in case the other person wants to buy the wedding ring together afterwards.

On the other hand, if you and your partner already have plans of spending the rest of your life together and have already discussed rings beforehand then it makes sense to buy both or just the wedding ring!

HOW TO WEAR YOUR ENGAGEMENT AND WEDDING RINGS:

While there are no hard and fast engagement ring and wedding ring rules, you can wear both the rings together on the fourth finger of your left. As far as how to stack them, traditionally you’ll wear the wedding ring inside the engagement ring so that it’s closer to your heart.

According to their personal preferences and depending on an individual’s culture, some brides opt to wear their engagement rings on one hand and the wedding ring on the other, especially when both the rings have diverse designs and can’t be stacked.
