These unique promise rings are given as a symbol of trust and meaning between two people.

Reasons to give a promise ring include:

• Pre-engagement: a promise of engagement is a very popular reason to give a promise ring. The ring is not as expensive to give and will be replaced later with the engagement ring.

• Chastity: promise rings for chastity are sometimes referred to as purity rings. Many teens today are wearing the ring as a symbol of their promise to remain pure until marriage.

• Friendship: Sometimes called friendship rings, promise rings given for this reason are to seal a pact of eternal friendship between two people. To symbolize a shared interest, a custom promise ring could be purchased to showcase the commonalities of the friendship.

• Monogamy: promise rings are often given by couples who are not engaged or married but want to seal their mutual promise of fidelity and monogamy. 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.

The History of Promise Rings

Promise rings are an effective way for many people to seal a pact or pledge, but are certainly not a new concept.

In fact, promise rings have been around since ancient times. They were commonly used by both dignitaries and ordinary folk to seal a variety of promises.

For example:

• The so called ‘Poesy Rings’ were often given as a pledge of fidelity and love.
  
  Poesy rings are a type of engraved band exchanged between lovers or friends and inscribed with romantic sentiments or meaningful dates and/or sayings. Tradition has it that words which touch the skin have a particular power.

• Promise rings were exchanged in 16th and 17th century Europe as a mark of friendship and love. Diamond promise rings were particularly popular during this time with lovers.

• Promise rings were worn by bishops in ancient times to seal their pledge to the Church.

Promise rings are certainly a great way to remind both parties of the important promise that has been made between them.

They should be given genuinely and sincerely, with all parties being clear on the promise that has been made and received.
