Wedding Rings vs. Engagement Rings vs. Promise Ring

Fine Jewelry Explained

engagement ring

An engagement ring is a token, offering a promise of love and commitment. It signifies the intent to marry and is a cherished symbol of that promise.

There are many styles of engagement rings including solitaires, three stone rings, diamond accented styles and halo-style rings. Traditionally engagement rings are set with diamonds, their unchanging nature signifying the promise of forever. But throughout history many people have chosen a different type of gemstone, including moissanites, to reflect their personal tastes, better fit in their budget, or because the gem has symbolic meaning to them as a couple.

Wedding Ring or band

A wedding band is often paired with the engagement ring at or following the marriage ceremony. This style can either enhance or match the engagement ring. The circular shape of a wedding band is a symbol of eternal commitment and love. To learn more about how to pair wedding bands with engagement rings, click here.

promise ring

A promise ring is sometimes given during courtship when a couple is not quite ready to get engaged but wants to make a promise of working toward a future together. Some couples chose to use promise rings as engagement rings later on or include the gemstones from a promise ring in their engagement ring.
