You may have heard of promise rings becoming increasingly popular over the last few years. While ‘promise ring’ sounds like it must be a recent, frou-frou social media trend, the concept has been around since the 16th century.
The name says it all. Promise rings are an expression of commitment and affection. While they are generally exchanged between couples, there’s no hard and fast rule. You could also give it to your friends, siblings, or close family members to show your love!
Before we suggest promise rings for couples or your loved ones, here’s all you need to know about what they signify.
What does a promise ring mean?
The word ‘promise’ means sticking to your word. Similarly, promise rings are all about that–with a sprinkle of fun and romance. Here are some scenarios in which promise rings can be exchanged:
Romance all the way: Promise rings for couples reflect the loyalty in their equation. It’s a great way for them to express their love and share their heartfelt feelings. Often, they are mistaken as engagement rings but they are far from that! Promise rings have nothing to do with marriage.
Cherishing friendship: For some, exchanging promise rings may be an important part of their friendship. It’s about remembering that they are each other’s ride or die. You and your bestie can settle on a design that’s as simple or as glam as you want.
A symbol of self-care: Don’t let anything stop you from celebrating yourself! For some, promise rings serve as symbols of self-care. Of promising to be kind and appreciative to oneself.
What does a promise ring look like?
There are no specifications for how a promise ring should look like. While most engagement rings have one stone in the centre, promise rings come in varied shapes and forms. Some have gemstones like coloured diamonds or other precious stones. Others are simple bands crafted in gold.
When do you give a promise ring?
Once again, you don’t have to decide on a day to give a promise ring. Since it’s a pledge of love and affection, there is no right or wrong way to exchange this token. Just be sure to be convinced of its significance and value.
Which finger does a promise ring go on?
A promise ring can be worn on the ring finger of either hand. When exchanged by romantic partners, it’s mostly worn on the left hand.
