Marriage proposals using engagement rings were first recorded in 1215, when Pope Innocent III decreed a waiting period between a betrothal and the marriage ceremony. The first person to propose marriage using an engagement ring is not known, but the first person to propose with a diamond engagement ring is said to be Archduke Maximilian of Austria. He proposed to Mary of Burgundy in 1477, a time where diamonds were an extreme rarity.

Do you give both wedding band and engagement ring at proposal?

Traditionally, when someone proposes marriage, they typically present an engagement ring rather than both an engagement ring and a wedding band. The engagement ring is given at the time of the proposal, symbolizing the commitment to marriage. It is worn on the ring finger of the left hand. The wedding band is exchanged during the wedding ceremony itself. Both partners typically exchange wedding bands as a symbol of their commitment to each other. The wedding band is often a simpler and more understated ring compared to the engagement ring. However, customs and preferences can vary, and some individuals choose to give both the engagement ring and wedding band at the time of the proposal. Others may opt for a bridal set, which includes both rings designed to complement each other. Ultimately, the choice depends on personal preferences and cultural or regional traditions.
