About Promise Rings

What is a promise ring?

We make many promises in a lifetime. Promise rings serve as reminder of some of these commitments. It’s a way to pledge your dedication and commitment to something, or someone, important to you. By wearing these promise rings you are reminding yourself of that pledge you’ve made.

What does a promise ring mean?

A promise ring can symbolize many things. It could be a commitment to a monogamous relationship. This is almost like a pre-engagement. It’s a commitment to stay together in the future. Purity rings are also a type of promise ring. Purity rings are a vow to abstain from sexual activity until marriage. This can have many different meanings to different people. Some purity rings are given by parents to their children. Other purity rings may just be a personal decision. Occasionally purity rings are even blessed by a church. But a promise ring doesn’t have to represent a promise to someone else. It could represent a promise to yourself. For instance if you had a substance abuse problem and have taken a vow to be sober, a promise ring could serve as reminder of that vow.

Where do you wear a promise ring?

The finger on which a promise ring is worn can be a tricky issue. These rings are typically worn on the left ring finger. However, some prefer their ring not to be associated with marriage. In this case the ring could simply be worn on the right ring finger or any other finger the wearer feels more comfortable with. However, this is typically something you should discuss with your partner.

How much are promise rings?

Everybody’s budgets are different. You can spend as much, or as little, on a promise ring as you feel comfortable.
