You have your engagement ring which is the ring he will ask you to marry him with, and then most people will get a wedding band which you will get when you get married.

My girlfriend is buying my ring for me, that we will both pick out together.

I bought my husband's wedding band, because I personally wanted it to be from me to him. Men do not have an "engagement" band, so you will only need one ring for him.
For you, there are engagement rings and then the wedding band, which sometimes are sold as a set together, other times you have to buy separately.

Hope that helps.

Typically there are two different rings for women. The first is the engagement ring that is given by the man to the woman when he asks her to marry him. This is the diamond one.
Then at the wedding the bride and groom exchange wedding rings (some sort of band) the bride pays for the grooms and visa versa. Often they match each other.

my partner and i both picked out his wedding band!!
i also know of some people that just buy his wedding ring without them even knowing about it!
i chose to take him with me as he does have to wear it every day!
i think it would be safer to take him with you to buy his wedding band!

and if your asking if you buy him an engagement ring?? if you are, then you dont have too if he dont want one!
my partner didnt want one, but i do know some people that do! so each to there own!

What my husband and i did was he bought the engagement ring and then while we were planning the wedding i gave him the responsibility of paying for the wedding rings and I paid for something else like the photographer. Its up to you I would if anything have only one person pay or at least if you two wanna pay for your own for him and his for you then at least go to the same place to get them usually they give deals and at least you two can have them match if you want. but basically usually the person who purposes buys the engagement ring and then its up to the couple who or if both want to buy the wedding rings. Hope this Helps.

He or his family traditionally pays for your engagement ring and wedding band, while you or your family pays for his. If you so choose, and he wants to, you can also purchase a men's engagement ring, something like this;

You can let him pick out your engagement ring or wedding ring set(they don't have to match if you don't want), or the two of you can go ring-shopping(real fun if you make a day of it, go to lunch or on a romantic picnic, call your parents afterwards and tell them that it's official). You can also browse through wedding magazines and leave tear-outs of the ones you like all around the house to drop hints...
He can propose offically while you're alone or he can do it at an engagement party that you or your family throws. After he proposes, THEN you can buy his ring, unless you find all of the rings at the same time. Then just pay for it then and hold onto it until the ceremony.
You wear your engagement ring until the wedding day. Then you can tuck, pin, or sew it into the bodice of your wedding gown or bra(next to your heart), or you can wear it on your right hand ring finger. There are all kinds of traditions were this is involved.
You don't have to even have an engagement ring if you don't want, but let's face it, people don't always take an engagement seriously if there's no ring.
I wore my wedding band(a diamond eternity ring) as my e-ring, but I finally broke down and got an antique ring myself. It looks great with the band, and we'll use it instead of the band for our formal ceremony in the fall(we've already had the civil ceremony).

Congratulations, and Good Luck!

engagement ring which is the ring he will ask you to marry him with, and then most people will get a wedding band which you will get when you get married.
also he or both of you can pick out ur engagement ring together. some time when you go to buy a engagement it also come with a set. so u get ur ring and the weeding band ring together. sometimes u can get all 3 rings together it will cost alot but they will go together.
