Promise Ring Ideas

June 16, 2009

Promise Rings are the beginning of lovePromise rings can be given for any promise or commitments made and need not be limited to marital commitments. There are minute real reasons for endowing or exchanging promise rings and the implication of the promise ring will rely on each individual case.

  1. Pre-engagement promise rings are confered when two people have decided that they’ll be getting engaged and then married in the future. It occurs when 2 people have decided to cohabit as one in the future but don’t desire an official engagement or wedding presently. This is the most common context for promise rings and in most situations, such promise rings are replaced by the engagement or wedding ring later on. For such promise rings, an exchange of rings between the man and lady is very common.
  2. Purity promise rings have a slightly different meaning as they symbolize a commitment or promise to remain chaste or abstain from something. A good example is when a parent gives a purity promise ring to a child and it is meant to symbolize a promise by the kid, to stay sexually pure until marriage. In the US and the EU the idea of liberal sexual behavior is slowly going out of style and the symbol of purity rings are getting to be more relevant.
  3. The meaning of a promise ring then would not relate to any romantic affair, but rather signify a dedication to constantly be there for each other in times of need. It is imperative that both friends have knowledge of the real meaning of such a promise ring, there shouldn’t be room for misjudgment where, either pal misinterprets the ring as showing romantic intentions. Such rings may be worn by a grouping of followers of a particular saint or religion. The context of the promise ring in such a case would be a dedication to adher to the teachings or ideology of the faith or saint in daily existance. For example, disciples of a specific faith or saint might wear a promise ring and make a promise to follow the path of truth and practice the preachings of that saint.

Ceded the real context of a promise ring and the significancy of the occassion or commitment for which they are worn, there’s no reason why men should not wear a promise ring. Depending on the reason behind the we aring of promise rings, men’s promise rings may be worn as pre-engagement rings or as purity ring, as closeness guarantee rings and also as non secular guarantee rings. While the meaning of promise rings worn by men would be the same as for those worn by ladies, the difference would be mainly in the size and weight of men’s promise rings. Men take a lot less care of their jewelry as compared to the ladies and this would imply that men’s promise rings would need to be more robust and durable. In cases where promise rings mean a pre-engagement relationship, it is not uncommon for the lady and man to wear promise rings with similar designs, such rings are regularly referred to as promise ring pairs.
