When it comes to engagement and wedding rings, there is often confusion about whether or not there is a difference between the two. In short, an engagement ring is a ring that is given to someone as a symbol of an impending marriage proposal, while a wedding ring is a ring that is exchanged between spouses during the wedding ceremony.   However, there are some cases where the terms are used interchangeably. For example, if you are buying an engagement ring and wedding band set from a jeweller, they may refer to the set as your “engagement and wedding rings.” Additionally, if you are planning on proposing with a family heirloom ring or another type of ring that will double as your wedding band, it may be referred to as your “engagement and wedding ring.”
