The answer

Wearing an engagement or wedding ring is forbidden if one believes that it benefits the couple or perpetuates love between them, because this is a form of minor (associating partners with Allah). As for wearing it as a custom without such a belief, there is a difference of opinion among scholars: some permitted it due to the absence of an explicit text forbidding it, while others disliked or prohibited it because it involves imitating non-Muslims. Some scholars believe that the origin of this custom goes back to Christians or Pharaohs.
