What the the convention for engagement and wedding rings?

For women AND men: What does an engagement ring look like; what does a wedding band/ring look like; and why do some women wear both, it seems? Or at least they wear two rings… Or even more… What is the traditional convention? What about promise rings? Thanks for the information!

Whether or not a couple go the engagement ring route is a decision that they should make together. Sometimes they don’t do it to save the money. While the traditional engagement ring is a diamond, I know several people who didn’t do that, including one of my sisters. Basically, the engagement ring and wedding ring should work together.

When women have both, the wedding ring goes on first and then the engagement ring. The tradition behind this is that the first ring on is closer to the heart. I don’t know of anybody who has both who doesn’t wear both of them. My mom wears both of her wedding rings. She and my dad had been married 50 yrs when he died. When she remarried a few years ago, my step-dad suggested that she wear both rings. They look nice together and I think that it was very thoughtful of him (he was married to his first wife for 52 yrs before she died, so he understands…).

Promise rings are not as old a tradition. Like engagement rings, they’re not required. I would assume that if you end up marrying the person who gave you the promise ring you’d move that ring to another finger.

I agree with the person who said that people spend way too much money on rings. I think that a lot of people (yes, mostly women) are more concerned about the ring (and then the wedding) than the marriage. I’ve seen some young couples who definitely couldn’t afford it spend a lot of money on engagement rings.
