Question by softwings: Can a person use any kind of ring as an engagement ring? or does it have to say “engagement ring” on the box?
I’m 18, the ring being used for the engagement is a “diamond aquamarine white 10K gold Ring” The one asking for marriage is 20. We’ve been together for about a year.
I’m 18, In my first year of college studying to be an aerospace engineer and he is 20 studying forensic psychology. We’ve been together almost a year, and plan on getting officially married when we get our masters degrees.

okay, nothing comes with “engagement ring” on the “box.” and also, think about all this before you jump in. are you even graduated from high school? you need more than a year to know if this is “it”. but to answer the question, any sort of ring is fine as long as you are happy with it.

    You can have ANY ring be an engagement ring. It doesn’t HAVE to be diamonds.

    They never put engagement ring on the box, ever. It can be any ring, it does not have to have a diamond in it at all.

    an engagement ring is the ring he gave you when he proposed. it could be the biggest diamond, the smallest ruby, a cigar band or a ring out of the bubble gum machine.
    your ring sounds lovely and it sounds like the perfect engagement ring!
    happy wedding!

    I am assuming you are the soon to be bride? Do you like the ring? Diamonds are traditional but there is no rule saying you can only accept a diamond ring. Talk to your fiance and discuss the ring if you don’t like it or want something else, maybe he can’t afford anything else right now. But otherwise, congrats!

    You can use any ring you like…Also i have never seen the words engagement ring on a box…I buy diamonds for my mother all the time and some to me look like engagement rings. She has expensive tastes LOL

    it doesn’t have to be a specific engagement ring that he bought from a store or anything it could be something that he found from the bottom of his heart, I have a marquise blue topaz as my engagement ring, and a sapphire hearted cladagh ring from my wedding band.

    so it doesn’t have to be what all the jewelry stores say.

    You know to be engaged… all he has to say is “Will you marry me” and you say “yes” and you are engaged! The ring is traditional, but not necessary… therefore any ring can be an engagement ring. Non traditional rings are being used more and more!
