When it comes to bridal jewelry, engagement rings and wedding rings come to mind. These two rings differ in both the timing of when they are given and their meaning. You've heard the terms, but you might wonder what the actual difference is—and many people feel it's too late to ask. This time, we'll introduce the differences and meanings of these two rings once again.
◆Engagement Ring◆
An engagement ring is a ring given by a man to a woman when proposing marriage. It's said that this tradition began with the circular shape of the ring symbolizing something eternal and unbroken. The typical design for an engagement ring features a large diamond as the centerpiece. An engagement ring serves as a symbol of love from a man to a woman and proof of his commitment to marriage. Additionally, diamonds—the hardest stone in the world—carry the meaning of an "eternal bond." For women, the sparkle of a diamond is something to aspire to, so choose your engagement ring with care.
◆Wedding Ring◆
A wedding ring refers to the pair of rings exchanged between a man and woman to vow eternal love, given at the time of marriage registration or the wedding ceremony. Traditionally, wedding rings featured a plain, simple surface design, but nowadays there are wedding rings in a wide variety of designs. What remains unchanged is that they are jewelry worn continuously after marriage, accepted in any formal setting. As rings exchanged to entrust each other's feelings, wedding rings hold a special meaning distinct from fashion jewelry worn simply to enjoy design.
