 Promise Ring Meaning | Everything You Need to Know
You’ve heard of engagement rings and wedding rings. You may even be familiar with purity rings. But what exactly is a promise ring and what does it mean? Our staff at Padis Jewelry is here to tell you everything you need to know about this romantic gesture. 

WHAT DOES A PROMISE RING MEAN?


Generally speaking, a promise ring symbolizes an outward expression of a commitment between two people in a relationship. Accepting and wearing a promise ring means you share the same feelings and want to take your relationship to the next level. Oftentimes promise rings are given before engagement rings. The reason for this varies, but typically one would give a promise ring instead of an engagement ring because they are too young to marry, live far away, or they are saving up for the perfect engagement ring to give later on. 

HOW TO CHOOSE A PROMISE RING


Most people opt for a white gold band or a stackable ring when choosing a promise ring. The experts at Padis Jewelry can help you find the right one at the right price. Here are some that we recommend:

●     14K White Gold Stackable Diamond Ring

●     14K White Gold Diamond Crisscross

●     14K Yellow Gold Gabriel & Co. Ladies’ Fashion Ring

●     18KT Yellow Gold With Yellow Sapphire Eternity Band


WHEN TO GIVE A PROMISE RING


Since promise rings are a symbol of commitment and exclusivity in a relationship, they are meant to be given after dating for a certain amount of time. For some, that means one year. For others, a promise ring can be given at any point they feel the relationship is ready for the next step. When to give a promise ring is entirely up to you, but know that a promise ring shouldn’t be given if you don’t see yourself with that person in the future.


WHAT TO SAY WHEN GIVING A PROMISE RING 


Giving a promise ring does not mean you have to come up with a proposal speech. In fact, when you give someone a promise ring you can keep it short and simple. Here are some examples of what to say when you’re presenting the ring to your significant other:

●     “With this ring I promise to stay committed and true to our relationship.”

●     “I give you this promise ring as a symbol of my devotion to you.”

●     “Every time you look at this promise ring I hope it reminds you of our love.”

●     “Just as this ring represents an infinite loop, so does my love for you.”

●     “I love you and plan to marry you one day. This ring represents that promise.”

WHAT FINGER TO WEAR A PROMISE RING ON


Which finger to wear a promise ring is ultimately up to you, but we often see people wearing theirs on the left ring finger. When the wearer gets married, the promise ring is usually moved to the right hand or stacked under or on top of an engagement ring. You could even wear your ring as a necklace with the right chain.
