Promise Rings
A promise ring is an ornament that symbolizes a pledge, bond or promise between two people.
What are the origins of the promise ring? This tradition dates back hundreds of years. It is derived from olden days when marriage between two people was not just an act of love, but rather a joining of two families (their land, finances, etc.). Thus, when two people intend to marry it was usually announced at a betrothal ceremony. This was a legally binding ceremony where the man presented a ring to the woman as a symbol of this promise.
Some people make abstinence promises to each other via a promise ring. This might be a vow to stop smoking or a no-sex-before-marriage pledge. Friendship rings, with a promise of eternal bond, are also popular.
Do you have to wear the promise ring on a particular hand/finger? While there are no specific rules as such, certain ‘placement’ choices are advisable. For instance, someone who is single and available might want to avoid wearing their friendship promise ring as an engagement ring. Some couples who wear promise rings prior to engagement might opt to wear them on their left hand’s ring finger. This swifts to the right hand once the official engagement takes place.
Diamond Promise Rings
Executive summary about Promise Ring by Richard Romando
A promise ring is a ring that is exchanged between two people to seal a promise made between them. And for promises meant to last forever, nothing is better than exchanging diamond promise rings, as diamonds are meant to last forever.
A diamond promise ring is usually a forerunner to an engagement ring and then to a marriage ring. A diamond pre-engagement ring signifies a serious commitment between two people.
There are various types of diamond rings from which to choose. You need not only stick to a white diamond ring, as you can also choose from various natural-colored diamond rings to match your wardrobe. Diamond promise rings are not as expensive as diamond engagement rings, as the diamonds used here are usually smaller.
Diamond promise rings usually cost from $100 to $400, and although promise rings are usually associated with women, there’s nothing wrong with getting a man a diamond promise ring. However, rings for men cost more because more metal is used in making the ring. So diamond rings can be exchanged for any reason.
