What are promise rings? When I was in college I knew girls who received promise rings from their boyfriends but was never quite sure exactly what a promise ring was. Well, a promise ring is basically a pre-engagement ring. In the past, men who were unable to marry for some reason, would give their girlfriends a promise ring as a token to pledge their commitment without actually becoming officially engaged. Generally, the ring was thought to “hold” the committed relationship until the man was either financially ready to support a family or in times of war, was safely back home. In modern times, a promise ring may be given when a relationship is serious, but there is still some question about taking the final step towards a lifelong vow. Generally, promise rings are simpler and less expensive than engagement rings. Often, they consist of small diamonds, and are frequently heart-shaped to signify love or are in a three-stone pattern to symbolize past, present, and future. Promise rings may be crafted in gold, but are most often silver or a lesser valued metal. Promise rings are sure to hold a special place in any woman’s heart and jewelry collection.
