Wedding And Engagement Ring

The Significance of a Promise Ring

Promise rings symbolize a bond of trust and commitment between two people. Examples of when to give a promise ring include:

• Pre-engagement: promise rings are extremely popular. This is the number one reason why couples exchange promise rings today – to show how serious they are in their commitment to each other. “Pre-engagement rings” are a much less expensive alternative to an actual engagement ring.

• Chastity: promise rings for chastity are sometimes referred to as purity rings. Many believe that the commitment here is like a promise to God saying that you are going to remain a virgin until you are married. These rings are very popular among teens today and can also be given to a child by a parent or guardian to seal the child’s promise to remain pure until marriage as well.

• Friendship: Sometimes called friendship rings, promise rings given for this reason are to seal a pledge of eternal friendship between two people. Friendship promise rings can be exchanged between many friends who wish to maintain a pact with each other. Many people buy custom promise rings for everyone in their group to wear.

• Monogamy: promise rings for this reason are often given by couples who are not engaged or married but want to seal their mutual promise of fidelity. Many gay and lesbian couples share this type of ring to symbolize their commitment of fidelity to each other.

• Substance Abstinence Promise Rings:
  The Greek word "amethystos" can be loosely translated as "not drunken". Centuries ago, Amethyst was considered to be a very strong antidote against drunkenness. Today, the amethyst gemstone still symbolizes sobriety, and is therefore the perfect gemstone to have for a substance abstinence promise ring. Sobriety promise rings with spiritual connections and/or the amethyst gemstone are suitable for all types of substance sobriety including; alcohol abuse & drug abuse, food addiction, gambling or sexual addictions.
