Promise Ring: A Symbol of Hope

Don’t make a mistake. A promise ring is not an engagement ring. A promise ring is a declaration of commitment and is given to symbolise an exclusive relationship. It is the ring for a couple who is not yet ready for marriage, but still want to devote themselves to each other. Hence, it is also called a commitment ring.

A promise ring is usually worn on the ring finger or the middle finger of the left hand. However, there is no hard and fast rule. Some even wear it on a chain around their neck.

When a couple in a relationship is not yet ready for an engagement, but still want to be with each other, they can exchange promise rings to symbolise their commitment. It is a promise to be faithful and love the person you are with. Promise rings herald the onset of a committed relationship and throws hint about an ensuing engagement.

Promise rings are also called commitment rings and they can be given at any point of time during a relationship. Some exchange them after dating for one year or longer, while others exchange rings quite early on in the relationship.

Since exchanging commitment rings have become a fad these days, jewellery shops are cashing in on this trend and coming up with a wide range of designs. Every jewellery shop, whether online or in malls, displays promise or commitment rings prominently.

There are promise rings for women, promise rings for men and promise rings for couples. They come in different shapes, sizes and designs. Whether it is ‘promise rings for her’ or ‘promise rings for him’, you will find a design specifically made to suit everyone. The ‘promise rings for her’ range will have an array of designs celebrating the feminine spirit. The designs are appealing and gemstones are used liberally on precious metals like silver, gold or platinum. The designs are intricate and exquisite, just like the divine female.

‘Promise rings for him’ are usually simplistic and minimalistic. Simples lines, no frills, highlighting the masculine spirit. Bands are hugely popular in this segment. All popular jewellery brands advertise promise bands for men. They are either plain band rings in silver, gold or platinum or they are studded with tiny gemstones.

Bands are also a favourite when it comes to commitment rings for couples. Most couples prefer to wear similar bands so as to show to the world that they are together and are an exclusive couple. If you visit the online jewellery stores, you will find that almost all of them sell these same-to-same bands as couple bands. Some brands sell them as eternity bands for couples, highlighting the promise of commitment to each other.

By the exchange of promise rings, a promise is made to be faithful and love each other at all times and for all times to come.
