A promise ring is a ring given as an expression, or symbol, of a promise made between two people.
Traditionally, the promise ring is given for any kind of promise made between two people - either romantic or platonic. Promise rings include:
Pre-engagement Jewelry- If you're sure he or she’s the one for you, but not ready for an engagement ring, the pre-engagement promise ring expresses commitment to the relationship and a promise for the future together.
Abstinence Jewelry. Often called Promise Rings, these rings are generally given by a parent to a child and symbolize a promise by the child to remain sexually pure until marriage. It is a constant reminder that true love can wait for a sexual relationship. Promise rings can also be given to symbolize a child's pledge to remain drug free.
Monogamy: In the absence of marriage a promise ring can be exchanged as a mutual commitment of unity and monogamy.
Friendship: Good friends have always used promise rings to make a pact using friendship rings and other jewelry tokens. Whether your friend is moving halfway across the country or lives right next door, you both know you will always be there for each other.
When Giving A Promise Ring - The important rule in giving a promise ring is to be up-front about the terms of the promise. This helps avoid any possible misunderstandings.
While the idea of promise rings may seem like a recent idea Mythology and sacred writings tell us that rings have been used to seal promises since the beginning of time.
In ancient days, Bishops wore promise rings as a pledge of their spiritual union with the church.
Although they may not have been called promise rings, it became popular during the 16th and 17th centuries in Europe to exchange rings as a token of love or friendship. One such ring was the "scribbling ring," Lovers used the exposed points to etch romantic vows into windowpanes.
Another common type of ring was called a "poesy ring." These rings were engraved bands with a typical pledge of love and fidelity reading, "Vous et nul autre" -- old French which translates to "You and no other."
Promise rings can be worn on any finger, but those symbolizing pre-engagement or chastity are generally worn on the left ring finger.
There are two schools of thought regarding the origin of the 3rd finger being designated the "ring finger." For those logical souls, this finger is the most practical one for wearing a ring. Protected by fingers on either side, and not as active as the first two fingers and thumb, it is a safe haven for jewelry. A more romantic notion is the ancient belief in a "vena amori," or vein of love, running from the 3rd left finger to the heart.
Pre-engagement Promise Rings are worn on the left hand. However, some wearers feel that there is less likelihood of confusing the ring with an engagement ring if it is worn on the right hand and therefore, right-hand wearing is gaining acceptance. Promise Rings for Monogamy : left or right ring finger. Also traditionally worn on the left hand, but concerns over confusion with an engagement ring have made it acceptable to wear on the right hand. The left hand is still preferred, however. Promise Rings of Sexual Abstinence : left ring finger. The intent is to someday replace this promise Promise Between Friends (non-romantic): any finger (including thumbs). In the case of rings exchanged between platonic friends, it is generally best to avoid the left ring finger so that there is no confusion of romantic intentions.
Generally speaking, men are not given promise rings -- just as they are not given engagement ring jewelry. The exceptions are when rings are exchanged for a joint promise such as monogamy or when the ring is a gift from parent to child as a promise of chastity or abstinence from substance abuse.
When choosing a promise ring for a man, avoid gemstones or choose a very small one.
A nice touch is to have the ring engraved with a brief synopsis of the promise made.
