Representing love and commitment the promise ring has become increasingly popular in today’s culture.
Promise Ring Meaning
The exact meaning of a promise ring is personal and can differ from couple to couple. Usually, it is a ring worn to signify a commitment to a monogamous relationship and sometimes a promise for an engagement in the future. Promise rings do not promise marriage, however, as engagement rings do. History of the Promise Ring In the 13-16th century, a type of promise ring called a Posy ring was popular. Posy rings were given as a token of love and were engraved with a romantic phrase or poem. During the Georgian and Victorian eras in the 17-18th century, Acrostic rings were in style. Acrostic rings spelled out the word “ regard” with the first letter of a gemstone. For example a regard ring would have a ruby, emerald, garnet, amethyst, ruby and diamond.
Promise Ring Styles Promise rings can be made of any precious metal and can include any gemstones. Some promise rings have diamonds or sapphires or even birthstones. They also can come in any preferred style but are usually more subtle than an engagement ring.
