Man Diamond Solitaire Ring ?
Q.I'm a guy who hates diamonds. I will not support the industry. My girlfriend knows and accepts this. ok, so there's that. Plus, she doesn't like gold. What is the difference between the engagement ring and the wedding ring. When I propose and show her the ring, I need to know what she's expecting. A band, saphires, something big that will stay in a drawer? Should the wedding ring be a simple band or should it be more extravagant than the engagement ring.
A.The engagement ring is the traditional diamond ring. The wedding band is just that -- a band. Instead of a diamond, I assume you will buy her a sapphire or ruby or emerald instead. I would suggest platinum if she does not like gold with some other precious stone besides a diamond. Choose a stone you know she likes, perhaps her favorite color. I love blue and purple, so I would want sapphire or amethyst, but that is me. You usually shop for wedding rings together sometime before the wedding. They can match or not. There are even sets of engagement rings/wedding bands. That is something you can decide later. Some people never have a wedding band ro engagement ring. They just have one ring. It is really up to you what you want to do It is really up to you. I have *one* nice ring that served as my engagement ring, and during the wedding ceremony, it turned into my wedding ring. This is unusual however, as the traditional thing to do is get two rings, the engagement ring usually being the more extravagant.
