whats the point of having an engagement ring?
Tuesday, April 6th, 2010 | Weddings
okay,
once you get married, you wear your wedding ring and you kinda forget about the engagement ring right?
so what’s the use?
why buy a fancy gold ring with a diamond embedded in it when the girl’s gonna never wear it again?
or do they?

Women typically wear both, my dad’s a jeweler and fused my mom’s into one ring, but both are worn

Most girls wear both on the same finger

i have been married 4 years, my mom has been married 35….we both have NEVER taken our engagement rings off…..girls love a diamond!

Well of course she is going to wear it again. If you give her a traditional solitaire diamond it will be accompanied by the jacket or wedding ring. They fit together your jeweler will be able to help you. You also need to consider what your gf would rather have. Some people like gold bans with no diamonds. You need to put some thought into this.

The engagement ring is the one with the diamond and the wedding ring is usually much more plain - both are worn after the wedding.
The engagement ring is a way of announcing - hey, this woman is taken. It still says the same thing when they are married, and women continue to wear them.

They wear both. First you give her the engagement ring, then at the wedding you give her the wedding band. And it depends, but a lot of women have their engagement ring and wedding ring all in one… But yeah the engagement ring tends to have the “big” diamond on it…and the wedding ring is usually just a band. but it all depends.

She will continue to wear it, “diamonds are forever”.

Both moments are special and important, the engagement ring opens the door to marriage, and the wedding ring closes it. Now you can’t get out. haha

I gave my fiance an engagement ring while he was here from England to spend Thanksgiving with me and my family. It’s a stunning titanium band burnished with three diamonds that he loves. However, he ended up turning the tables on ME by surprising me with an engagement ring on New Year’s Eve. It’s his mother’s - she wanted me to have it - and I will wear it every day for the rest of my life as a symbol of my “Mum’s” acceptance and love.

Tradition. If it is important to your bride and it is to most, then do it. Usually the engagement ring is welded to the wedding ring soon after the ceremony.
And just a hint: Let your bride to be pick out her ring or give you strong ideas on what she would like. It is her finger she will be wearing it on for a long long time:)

I don’t have an engagement ring, getting married….. Id rather my FH spend that money on a wedding ring/buy me a new car or something, I’m pretty straight forward when it comes to jewelry, I don’t like the fancy stuff , so wearing an elaborate band is not in my taste. Besides I don’t need a big diamoand to know that he loves. My FH is getting my one designed and I wanted a fusion of Rubies and Emaralds/Tanzanite(looks like a blue diamond)-on a platinum band….but my FH has insisted on tanzanite and white diamonds (eternity ring style). I love it because he loves it for me. So I DON’T SEE A POINT of an engagement ring, especially since our engagement is only 4 months.

yes, the girl is suppossed to continue wearing it after you get married.
the point is to symbolize the promise of the upcoming marraige.
but it isnt necessary.

The girl still wears her engagement ring after the wedding, along with the wedding ring. I think of the engagement ring as a symbol that your boyfriend is making a formal commitment to you to marry you. Anyone can SAY they are engaged, but when a man saves up his money and buys you a ring as a symbol of his commitment, it shows that he is serious - especially if he is not financially well-off. I know that when my fiance bought me my engagement ring, it was around $1500. And that was a lot of money to him (and us), especially because he is paying the mortgage alone right now while I finish my last year of school. So for him to save up that much money to buy me that ring, it really showed me that he is serious.
Engagement rings need not always contain diamonds. Popular trends include using gemstones as sidestones as well as other precious stones.
