Difference between a wedding and engagement ring?

Answer 1

Engagement rings are traditionally given to the lady upon proposal and are usually larger often featuring a centre diamond or gemstone with smaller side stones. Wedding rings, however, are worn by both the male and female and are exchanged on their wedding day. Generally, wedding rings are simpler bands, sometimes the female band features smaller gemstones and are often designed to fit the engagement ring.

Answer 2

Traditionally a wedding ring is simply a band and an engagement ring is either a solitaire or a 3 stone ring. However, the current trend is to do what suits you best. You can design a wedding ring and engagement as one or as two separate pieces, you can give a band on the engagement and a solitaire for the wedding. With all the numerous options, styles, designs, cuts and settings to choose from, you can literally design your own rings, without having to settle for what is standard and traditional.
