Promise rings: A commitment of a lifetime.

Promise rings symbolize love and couple's commitment to their relationship. The tradition of giving promise rings dates back to the late middle ages, where men gave posy (poesie)rings that in French means poetry and often inscribed with romantic phrases for their love interests. Different colour stones are also used in promise rings. The meaning of promise ring is unique to each couple. It is gifted with an intention of future together and denotes seriousness of the couple towards each other.

It is however often misunderstood with engagement ring. A promise ring notifies the relationship of a couple but an engagement ring signifies marriage. Promise rings can be worn on any finger but the popular ones are the middle and the fourth finger of either hands. Besides serving as statements of love, promise rings generally have unique significance to each couple and they discuss what their relationship means to them in the present and what the ring promises in terms of future.

A delicate promise ring adorned with sparkling diamonds symbolizes a heartfelt commitment.

Simplicity is the key for promise rings as most people don't want it to be mistaken for engagement rings. Promise rings are meaningful and carefully thought after jewellery pieces that include rings with heart motifs, love knots, infinity symbols, engravings of names and fingerprints, roman numerals of special dates. This can be worn as a wedding band after the couple decide on marrying each other too.

Promise rings can be made of any metal and incorporate any gemstone. Rose gold has become increasingly popular, although white gold and yellow gold are still classics. The gemstone chosen could be a birthstone too. Promise rings are as much a symbol of hope as a pledge of love. They honor a relationship by making it public and signal a couple's vision of a future together.
