Getting engaged is one of life’s most exciting moments! It’s a whirlwind of joy, planning, and meaningful traditions. Among all the celebrations, one of the most dazzling is, of course, the ring.
But then comes the wedding ring, and it’s normal to pause and wonder: “What’s the difference between engagement and wedding rings?”
While both rings are beautiful symbols of love, each has its own unique role in your story. At SK Jewellery, we’re here to guide you, helping you understand the difference and find the perfect rings for every step of your journey.
Engagement Ring vs. Wedding Ring: A Quick Comparison
| Engagement Ring | Wedding Ring | |
| Purpose | Symbol of a proposal and lifelong promise | Exchanged during the wedding ceremony as a sign of unity |
| Design | A statement piece, usually with a centre diamond or gemstone | A classic band—plain metal, pavé diamonds, or eternity style |
| How It’s Worn | On the fourth finger of the left hand | On the same finger, traditionally under the engagement ring. |
To put it simply: the engagement ring is the sparkling “Will you marry me?” and the wedding ring is the heartfelt “I do.”
One captures the excitement of the promise—that “wow” moment, often embodied by a stunning, eye-catching piece like the Stellar Emblem AllStar Diamond Ring or the Star Carat Resplendent Diamond Ring.
The other represents the forever commitment you make on your wedding day, a beautiful, eternal circle like the Wanderlust Eternity Ring or the Timeless Sparkle Eternity Diamond Ring, designed to be worn every day of your new life together. Together, they tell your complete love story.
Do You Need Both an Engagement Ring and a Wedding Ring?
This is one of our most asked questions, and the simple answer is: it’s entirely up to you!
While tradition celebrates both rings, modern couples in Singapore are embracing the freedom to create their own meaningful customs. Many love the layered look of an engagement ring and wedding band worn together, forming a stunning bridal set full of symbolism. Others prefer the elegance and simplicity of a single, exquisite band that shines on its own.
Your choice can depend on your personal style, daily lifestyle (a simpler band may be more practical for hands-on work), and budget. So, are engagement rings and wedding rings the same? No, as they serve different purposes. But they are beautifully complementary, and you get to choose the combination that feels perfect to you.
How to Wear Your Engagement and Wedding Ring
If you decide to wear both, there’s a beautifully romantic tradition for how to stack them.
In Singapore and many other cultures, the wedding band is worn on the bottom (closest to your heart), with the engagement ring sitting just above it. The sweet symbolism is that your marriage (the band) is the foundation of your bond, held closest to you.
A popular tip: On your wedding day, many brides wear their engagement ring on their right hand. This leaves your left ring finger free to receive the wedding band during the ceremony. Afterwards, you can joyfully place your engagement ring back on top, creating your complete, sparkling set!
