婚約指輪、結婚指輪の違いとは?

There are various types of bridal rings, such as engagement rings, wedding rings, and proposal rings.

Even if you've heard of it, you may not really understand the difference...

There are many people who think like this. We interviewed 10 people this time, and more than half of them said things like "I guess" or "I didn't know."

Although there is no precise definition, I would like to introduce the differences that are generally understood.

What is the difference between an engagement ring and a wedding ring?

What is an engagement ring?

Engagement Ring Examples

An engagement ring is a ring that is usually given when proposing marriage, and it represents the intention to "get engaged or get married."

The most popular ones feature simple designs set with diamonds or other gemstones and are generally received by women.

Engagement rings are typically given before a wedding and represent the giver's love and commitment to the recipient.

In everyday life, they are often used for ceremonial occasions, such as weddings, funerals, anniversaries, parties, and events, but there are also many people who do not use them much on a daily basis and just let them sit in a drawer or chest of drawers.

Some people think that they might get in the way when doing housework, but some people say that it doesn't bother them at all, so if it bothers you, we recommend choosing a design that is less likely to get caught on things.

At BRIGHT&BREEZY, we recommend wearing your engagement ring as often as possible to enjoy its sparkle. We believe that its sparkle will lift your spirits and bring you confidence.

What is a wedding ring?

Wedding ring example

Wedding rings, which are similar in design and worn by both men and women, represent the eternal bond between husband and wife.

Wedding rings are the most commonly exchanged rings at weddings.

They are generally made of metals such as platinum or gold and have a simple design, but some people choose to set small diamonds or precious stones in them.

Stacking engagement and wedding rings is also popular

Stacking engagement and wedding rings

Engagement rings and wedding rings both hold great meaning as symbols of love and commitment.

As mentioned earlier, if you don't want either ring to just sit at home, we recommend stacking them together.

What is a proposal ring?

Proposal rings are often used during marriage proposals.

"I bought an engagement ring and proposed to her!"

"But when I tried on the ring, it didn't fit."

It's nice, but a little disappointing. A proposal ring is useful for avoiding that.

Proposal Ring Examples

Proposal rings tend to have simple designs, and although they are simple, they don't look cheap. These types of rings are often used.

Recently, it has become common for couples to purchase rings together and propose to each other. In addition to proposal rings, people sometimes choose necklaces or bracelets as gifts when proposing.

*As an aside, I (the author) have also received a proposal ring. I like diving, so I received a dolphin ring. I also think it's okay to get a ring that is related to a common hobby or something the other person likes.

(...just a side note)

Above we have introduced the differences between engagement rings and wedding rings.
