How do wedding ring/engagement rings work? when to give what?

Im planning on proposing to my girlfriend as soon as i look for and buy a ring but im kinda confused. Theres bridal sets which go together, and theres engagement rings then weedding rings to givin at the wedding obviously. In the second instance, should the engagement ring be the larger of the two or should the wedding ring itsself be larger? thanks

Think of it this way. There is the diamond engagement ring which you buy and give to her when you want to propose. Then there is there are the wedding bands which you buy closer to the wedding date and exchange at your actual wedding ceremony. You see some bridal “sets” which consist of the diamond engagement ring and also the wedding band. The reason these are sold this way is because they are made to go together as a set, meaning they match. You can buy a set if you like but only give her the diamond engagement ring when you propose. Hold the band for the wedding day.

I also suggest you to go a local jeweler in your area rather than one of the chain stores in the mall. A jeweler is much more knowledgeable.

Good luck!
