A solitaire engagement ring is a type of ring that features a single gemstone, typically a diamond, as the centerpiece. It is known for its simplicity and elegance, with the focus entirely on the single stone.

Traditionally, an engagement ring is given when you propose. Usually (but depends on taste/preferences) it is a solitaire (one diamond or gemstone) or a shouldered solitaire (one diamond/gemstone with littler diamonds/gemstones on either side). The idea appears to be to present something big or stunning. Wedding ring/band are exchanged between wife and husband during a wedding ceremony. Traditionally, it is worn under the engagement ring. Traditionally speaking, it is a plain band or both husband and wife's bands match. These days, it is common to not have matching bands. This is because of the choice of engagement ring resulting in an unusual shape wedding band to fit perfectly against the engagement ring. It is very common to have the traditional eternity ring style as a wedding band for women. Eternity bands were marketed to be given at a ten year anniversary. They have diamonds (or other gemstone) all the way around. Some people find this impractical so half-eternity rings came about. They only have jewels placed on one side to be seen when wearing, as opposed to around the entire band. It is common to receive one on an anniversary, birth of a child, overcoming illness, redoing vows etc. They are worn on top of the engagement ring or replace engagement and wedding ring. It is not that common to have eternity rings these days. And there style is a popular choice as a wedding band. It is common practice to wear the above rings on your left hand, on the finger next to your little finger. This is because it has a direct pathway to your heart.
