A great engagement ring is a ring demonstrating that the person wearing it is employed to be married, especially in Western cultures. A engagement ring is presented as an engagement surprise by a partner to their prospective spouse when they suggest marriage or directly following a marriage proposal is accepted. It represents a official agreement to future relationship. In Western countries, proposal rings are worn mostly by women, and jewelry can feature diamonds or other gemstones. In some cultures men and women wear matching rings, and engagement rings may also be used as wedding rings. In Anglo-Saxon countries, the ring is customarily worn on the left palm ring finger, but traditions vary considerably elsewhere across the world.

A couple in a committed partnership may give each other and wear pre-engagement rings, also called friendship or promise rings. Neither the engagement nor any other engagement ring is worn during the wedding ceremony, when the wedding ring is put by the groom on the finger of the bride as part of the ceremony, and frequently by the bride onto the groom's finger. Following your wedding, the engagement ring is usually put back on, and is usually worn on the outside of the wedding ring. Some wedding brides have their engagement and wedding rings permanently soldered together after the wedding.
In many countries, wedding rings are positioned on the ring finger of the left hand. In one time it was believed that this finger contained a vein (the vena amoris) that generated the heart. This idea was popularized by Holly Swinburne in A treatise of Spousals, or Matrimonial Contracts (1686). The tale seems to have the origin in the old Roman book Attic Times by Aulus Gellius quoting Apion's Aegyptiacorum, where the alleged vein was formerly a nervus (a term that can be converted either as "nerve" or "sinew").

The popular perception that the engagement ring was actually area of the bride price which represented purchase and ownership of the bride-to-be, has been called into question by modern scholarship.
In the second millennium BC, the Roman bride-to-be was given two rings, a gold one which she wore in open public, and one manufactured from metal which she wore at home while attending to home duties. At one time Roman citizens wore jewelry manufactured from iron. In later years senators who dished up as ambassadors were given gold seal rings for recognized use when abroad. Afterwards the privilege of wearing rare metal rings was extended to other public officials, then to the knights, later to all freeborn, and finally under Justinian, to freedmen. For a number of centuries it was the custom for Romans to wear metal rings at home, rare metal rings in public. Throughout this period a girl or woman might receive two engagement rings, one of iron and one of gold.

In the Usa States, where engagement bands are worn by women, diamonds have been broadly featured in engagement jewelry since the middle of the 20th century. Solitaire rings have one main single diamond. The most common environment for engagement rings is the solitaire prong establishing, in 1886 and their six-claw prong setting design sold under the "Tiffany setting" trademark. The modern favorite cut for an engagement ring is the brilliant cut, which provides the most of sparkle to the gemstone. The traditional engagement rings may have different prong settings and bands. Another major category is engagement rings with side stones. Rings with a larger precious stone set in the middle and smaller gemstones on the side fit under this category. Three-stone diamonds engagement rings, sometimes called trinity rings or three set rings, are rings with three matching diamonds established horizontally in a line with the bigger stone located in the middle. The 3 diamonds on the engagement ring are typically said to represent the couple's previous, present, and future, but others give religious importance to the arrangement.
A wedding set, or bridal set, includes an proposal ring and a wedding band that matches and can be purchased as a set. In some cases, the wedding engagement ring looks "incomplete"; it is merely when the two halves, engagement and wedding, are assembled that the band looks whole. In other cases, a marriage set consists of two rings that match stylistically and are worn stacked, although either piece would look appropriate as a separate ring. Even though the wedding band is not to be worn until the wedding day, the 2 rings are usually sold together as a wedding set. After the wedding, the bride may choose to have the two pieces welded together, to increase convenience and reduce the likelihood of shedding one of the jewelry. A trio ring set includes a ladies engagement ring, ladies wedding band and a men's wedding band. These sets frequently have matching rings and are lower in price.
