The engagement ring and the wedding ring are typically two separate rings. The engagement ring is traditionally given by one partner to another during the proposal, symbolizing their commitment to getting married. It usually features a gemstone, such as a diamond, at the center with smaller stones or intricate designs around it. On the other hand, the wedding ring is exchanged during the actual wedding ceremony and is typically a simple band without any gemstones. While some people choose to wear both rings together after marriage, others may only wear their wedding band for day-to-day activities.
