In Western tradition, an engagement wedding band is a ring worn by a woman indicating her engagement to be married. Conventionally, the ring is presented as a betrothal gift by a man to his prospective bride while he proposes marriage or directly after she accepts his marriage proposal. It represents a formal agreement to future marriage.

Traditionally, the future groom privately selected and purchased a ring, to be presented to his desired bride when he proposes. More recently, some couples have chosen to select an engagement wedding band together. In countries where both partners wear engagement rings, the matching rings tend to be purchased together. The price for an engagement wedding band can vary considerably depending on the materials used, the design of the ring, whether it includes a gemstone,the value of any gemstone,and the seller.The idea that a man should spend about two months'wages for an engagement wedding band originated from De Beers marketing materials in the early 20th century, in an effort to increase the sale of diamonds.
