Why is the engagement ring so much more ornate than the actual wedding ring?

To me it’s almost like….a false promise, sort of…or a bribe or something. The woman is dazzled with this really beautiful, fancy diamond ring when the guy proposes to her, but when she actually marries him, it gets downsized to the reality of a much less ornate wedding band. Like, “big promises, little reality.”
I know it’s a tradition but, why is that? Why not present the smaller ring first, then wow her with a beautiful wedding ring when she actually gets married?
