What's the difference between an engagement ring and a bridal set?

and engagement ring is JUST THAT. A ring signifying engagement. Abridal set is the engagement ring WITH the wedding ring...they kinda connect or go together

Neither.\n\nA ring is a material object.\n\nRomance is overrated and a two week vacation...can you and/or he afford the time off of work?  Do you have children?  Do you have a maid?  \n\nI would rather just a have a nice evening out.  Or family time watching a movie or sitting around playing a board game.  In the end, it's quality that counts, not quantity or carats.

The wedding band goes on your left ring finger...closest to your heart. The engagement ring goes outside of the wedding band.

Usually the couple buys the wedding rings together.  Couples like to have matching sets, so it's easier to get them at the same time.  \n\nWe bought our engagement and wedding rings together, and he paid for the engagement ring but we both paid for the wedding rings since our incomes were combined by then.

it's not even important to receive a ring at all it doesn't make a person love another any more. I have been married for 25 years, never had an engagement ring don.t even wear a wedding ring now, but still love him.

your ring finger on the left hand. in the olden days rich parents would give their daughters promise rings to symbolize they would save themselves for the man who weds them,.. so when they meet a guy he would remove their ring and replace it with an engagement ring....

Depends on how long I have been in the relationship. If it is new-anywhere from real new to one year, I would feel more comfortable receiving flowers. After that, probably Jewlery, a necklace or earing. Now if it is true love.....Definitly a ring, say for a left hand :)

ring finger  - finger next to pinky - on right hand\nyour wedding ring goes on the same finger, but the engagement ring needs to come off first so that the wedding ring can go on first and be closer to your heart, then the engagment ring goes back on\nmu husband took my engagement ring before the wedding and then put them both on me properly at the wedding

Ok to start, you wear your engagement ring before your married. Then when you get married you add the wedding ring. You can wear them both. so no you dont have to take off your engagement ring on the wedding day. And lastly typically guys dont wear engagement rings, it isnt exactly common, but there is no law saying that they cant. Hope i helped!

OK, I love this question!! My answer is NO NO NO! You absolutely do NOT have to have an engagment ring. I too am in my early 20s and my fiance (already call my husband) and I have been living together for the past two years and he just proposed about 7 months ago but he did not have a ring and it was the most amazing moment of my life. I completely understood his financial situation so it was never an issue, I knew a ring would come later so I never worried about it. I'm a big fan of ebay and I would just browse at second hand rings until I found the perfect one for $200 but I had it appraised at $1400. My fiance bought it for me one month ago and I can't stop looking at my finger. Is it an ice skating rink? Of course not but it's the ring MY fiance put on MY finger and that's good enough for me. It sounds like you and your fiance are just as ginuine so I'm sure you really don't care what he puts on your finger as long as it's from the heart. Just keep in mind that all this crap you see on television and magazines...that's not real! Every engagement is not going to be on top of the Eiffel Tower and your wedding may not be in the Grand Ballroom at the Waldorf Astoria but it's your wedding and that is what makes it PERFECT! FYI: My fiance has an engagement ring too and both of our rings cost less than $300 combined (from eBay) and everyone "thinks" we bought our rings new! So now people know, you and my mom (and all of Yahoo Answers) Congratulations sweetie to you and your fiance!!

Band first. Engagement ring on top.\n\nBut during the ceremony you take the engagement ring off.

Go shopping together just to "check out" rings and watch for a reaction to see which style they like.  Then figure your budget and when your ready pick a ring based on what she liked.  This worked for my husband.  I saw 4-5 rings that I really liked and he went back and purchased one similar to one of my favorites.\nGood Luck

The ring is representation of a dowelry or owenership in some cultures.  Within the modern days sometimes it's turned around and the chic gets the guy a wring and proposes.  So it goes both ways now, but it didn't used to.

Accessories make the outfit.  Plus it can make two outfits at like a party or something that are very similar in looks be completely different from each other.

Plain band= married, just a v. decorative ring with a stone in= engaged, plain band + decorative ring= married. Usually! Hope that helps! :)

I'm with you, I love both mine, but my daughter didn't like the one her fiance surprised her with, so she waited awhile and mentioned it and they went together and got a new one and it is fantastic.  Women should pick their engagement rings.

To show they are married.  It is the equivalent of a wedding ring.
