DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ENGAGEMENT AND A BRIDAL RING
In which occasions do you need each of these pieces of jewellery?
Perhaps this comes as a surprise to you, but the terms engagement ring and bridal ring do not necessarily mean the same thing. Each of these pieces of jewellery has its purpose and its moment within
the established protocol undergone by couples who want to make it official.
If getting married is in your plans for the near future, you might want to keep reading. In this article, we will explain the difference between an engagement and a bridal ring, followed by the aspects that
need to be considered when picking each of them, as well as the advantages of experiencing this unique moment with Relojería Alemana.
What is the difference between an engagement and a bridal ring?
The main difference between a bridal and an engagement ring lies in the occasion when each of them is gifted, as well as in the order in which they are given. Usually the engagement ring goes first, and afterwards the bridal one.
What is an engagement ring?
The engagement ring is given when you pop the question to your partner: ‘Will you marry me?’
According to tradition, we should pick a solitaire with a precious gemstone in the centre (usually a diamond), the ring is made of white gold or platinum in order not to compete with the brightness
of the main character here, the gem. However, some rules are made to be broken, and there are grooms or brides who prefer other designs that match the tastes of their future fiancé/e.
What is a bridal ring?
Traditionally, in Spain at least, the bridal ring is given during a formal event where the couple invites their families to make official their intention to marry.
According to this custom, the groom gives this ring to the bride, a piece that is more discreet than the engagement ring. She, in turn, gives him a gift, for example,
a watch.
Both the engagement and the bridal rings are worn in the ring finger.
