Promise Rings
Executive summary about Promise Ring by Ian Maher
A promise ring is a ring given as a gift that symbolizes a promise or commitment, though the actual meaning can be unique between the person giving and the person receiving the gift. Traditionally, a man gives a promise ring to a woman, though it is not unheard of for a woman to be the one to give a promise ring to a man. A promise ring is customarily given to a woman by her boyfriend when the two are in a serious relationship but are either too young or not ready for engagement, but have the intention of getting married someday.
A promise ring may be an elaborate diamond ring or may be extremely simple, though avoiding a plain band that can be mistaken for a wedding band is a good rule of thumb. The important part is that you make the gift a meaningful and personal gesture to the recipient. What does this mean? In a literal sense, you may get the ring engraved with the initials of the recipient, both of your initials, or a private message that symbolizes the meaning of the ring. Even if you do not opt for the engraving, try to choose a promise ring that fits with your partner’s style. If she always wears silver jewelry, a gold ring would probably not be the best option, and vice versa. Most importantly, make sure to clearly convey what the ring represents upon giving it, to avoid a misunderstanding or unwarranted expectations from your partner.
Tips for Buying Diamond Promise Rings
Executive summary about Promise Ring by Liz Harison
First, true promise rings are crafted of gold, either yellow or white. Sterling silver is not the precious metal of choice for such an important symbol. If your recipient of choice isn’t fond of yellow gold, keep in mind that a white gold promise ring has the look of sterling silver, but is significantly higher in quality.
Next, promise rings are not engagement rings, no matter what your intentions of the gift may be. Therefore, two-month salary isn’t a guide to price. You can find a beautiful, well-crafted 14K yellow or white gold promise ring for under $300, with many stunning designs available for as low at $150.
Purchasing a promise ring should come from the heart, so you’ll want to buy from a jeweler that understands what you’re doing and where you’re coming from, and has a heart of its own. The seller should have a good return policy (in case you change your mind) and quick service when you want it- but also patience when you need it.
Finally, don’t limit yourself to local and mall jewelry stores that have a huge rent to pay, with a staff full of employees who work on commission. The Internet has brought shopping into your home, so it’s time you started utilizing it for what it’s worth. You can shop 10 different jewelry stores in 10 minutes on the World Wide Web, accessing every possible detail about any promise ring that you’d like to see, one that’s certain to fit perfectly on the finger of your promised.
