A bridal set is different from an engagement ring because a bridal set also includes a matching wedding band. Traditionally, an engagement ring would be given to the bride-to-be during the marriage proposal. In olden days, the bride often didn’t get much say in what the engagement ring looked like. Nowadays, Brides are usually more involved in the decision of which engagement ring to choose. That allows brides to choose a bridal set with a matching wedding ring for a perfectly coordinated look.
