 do men get an engagement ring too? usually, only the woman wears an engagement ring. but in some cultures, the man also sports a plain band until the wedding. some american modern couples choose to purchase a "man-gagement" ring to show that he is also off the market.
 which finger to wear a ring? the ring is worn on the 4th finger of the left hand. the ancient egyptians believed that this finger had a vein that led straight to the heart - the vena amoris, or literally "vein of love". this ancient belief influenced why our 4th fingers are known as the "ring finger."
 is an engagement ring the same as a promise ring? no. a promise ring is a "pre-engagement" ring. it could be given, because it's too soon or you're not financially ready to get engaged, but you want to show commitment. it's a promise to be engaged someday. so usually, promise rings are cheaper and smaller. and when the time for engagement comes, it's replaced with a real engagement ring.
 wedding rings are exchanged during the marriage ceremony. this gesture says that the two of you are united forever from this day forward. both the bride and groom will wear a wedding ring until... well, forever.
 wedding rings are simpler in design. the style is normally a continuous band that has no beginning nor end. this symbolizes eternal love and unity. it's usually made of a precious metal like gold or platinum.
 what does the wedding ring stand for? the tradition of exchanging wedding rings goes back 4,800 years to ancient egypt. back then, the rings were made of stuff like braided papyrus and reeds. the circle was a symbol of eternity and the hole was a symbol of a doorway to the future.
