 What is an Promise Ring?
 
 
 A promise ring is a type of ring that represents the special and individual bond between a couple. Promise rings represent the symbol of a firm relationship. They also symbolize that the couple has committed themselves to each other in the future.
 
 
 In a way they are essentially engagement rings, since they're given before the wedding vows. Ring exchanges could signal the possibility of a future wedding or display an agreement to one another.
 
 
 
 
 
 Promise rings may have different meanings for every couple. They can be worn to express commitment to each other or to hint at that they will marry in the near future.
 
 
 Your partner and you should decide what a promise ring is for you both. A promise ring can refer to:
 
 
 That your relationship is developing and you'd like to prove how important you are towards one another.
 
 
 That you love each other and want to show your love, but you consider it too early (or you're just too young) to officially get engaged.
 
 
 You're separated due to distance (such as in a long-distance relationship) but you'd like to demonstrate to your partner that you're fully committed to each other.
 
 
 It is also possible to include anything else that is important to you. The ring you pick for your promise could be something special to both of you. It could be used to celebrate a significant occasion or milestone in your relationship, or simply demonstrate how much you love each other.
 
 
 You can also engrave a message on your ring to signify that it has a special significance. This can help you keep the promise and commitment you made to one another.
 
 
 Which Finger Should A Promise Ring be In?
 
 
 Promise rings are able to be affixed to any finger on or off of the hand. There's no "correct" finger or hand to wear the ring of promise -- instead, it's best to wear your ring on whichever finger is most comfortable and convenient for you.
 
 
 Certain people prefer to wear their rings of promise on the left finger of the ring. This is a popular option to wear a promissory ring. Others prefer to wear it on the right finger so as to not get it confused with the engagement ring.
 
 What do promise rings look like?
 
 
 Promise rings tend to be smaller and less extravagant than engagement rings. They usually use precious metals, such as silver and gold. Most promise rings have diamonds as well as other precious stones.
 
 
 These stones tend to be smaller and less imposing than those used in engagement rings, which gives them a subtler appearance. Certain promise rings are simple and look like wedding band.
 
 
 Promise rings and the other couple rings could be diamond rings, such as this baguette-style tapered ring from Blue Nile, or gemstone rings, like this sapphire heart pendant from Blue Nile.
 
 
 Certain promise rings may be designed to look like a Claddagh ring. The traditional Irish design features the heart, with two hands holding it and an eagle to signify loyalty, love, and friendship. Some couples even decide to select matching rings for their vows.
 
 
 Promise rings are generally smaller and less noticeable than engagement rings. Diamonds are usually a popular option, but they're typically smaller or are placed in clusters rather than in one big stone.
 
 
 Blue Nile's gemstone ring designs are a favorite for promise rings, in addition to other wedding rings. There is no rulebook for choosing the metals that compose promise rings. Rose gold and sterling silver rings are popular.
