What is an engagement ring

What is an engagement ring? The engagement ring is a fancy thing to show everyone how much your new fiance cares. The wedding ring is a simple band that snugs up to the pretty ring to show that he had follow-through. 

My late wife helped me choose the ring set. The wedding band hooked into the gem base of the engagement ring and the two of them became essentially one ring. 

The Wikipedia article has a lot of information on the ring customs of several societies. Their paragraph on what I consider modern tradition is 

"A ubiquitous custom, the future bridegroom gives his future bride a jeweled ring (most commonly set with a diamond) upon proposing to her. After the wedding the wedding band is worn on the ring finger, closest to the hand, and the engagement ring is worn in front of it. The rings usually match and sometimes interlock or are fused together to form one ring."

The wedding and Engagement rings are quite different in their symbolism and appearance. Generally speaking the engagement rings are worn prior to marriage to signify one’s engaged status. The widely used engagement rings are diamond solitaires. On the other hand, the wedding rings, tend to be put on the left hand finger. When the individual is married. The most popular wedding rings are made of gold or platinum. Wedding or engagement is surely a special day in one’s life therefore to make it special I always recommend you guys to call wedding planers.
