What's the meaning of an engagement ring?


Put simply, a promise ring is a symbol of love encased in your finger, sparkling with precious metals, and perhaps a few sparkling gems also. It's more than just a piece of jewelry. It's a commitment. "Historically linked to love, a promise ring is used as a sign of devotion," says Megan Mensink, the founder of Folklor.ca that specializes in vintage and estate fine jewelry. The promise ring, she says, are both a commitment and an offer. They symbolize a particular connection. It's essentially a pre-engagement ring that represents loyalty, dedication and other mushy things.

What's the significance of the promise Ring?


The promise rings' history is extensive. "Promise rings were handed out as a sign of engagement in the Roman period," says Mensink. Roman brides who had to wait for a period of time before they could marry received rings made from iron. Mensink states that posy rings inscribed with romantic poetry engravings were popular in England in the 16th century. This resulted in the development of acrostic ring designs in the Georgian and Victorian period. "These rings spelled out messages or words using stones and were used as tokens of affection."




When it regards the design of love, there are no rules. Promise rings can be as simple and timeless like a classic gold band, or they can be a sparkly spectacle starring the most beloved gems of your partner such as their birthstone or a big, honking diamond. "Outwardly paying tribute to your feelings or your relationship ought to be as personal as it feels," says Mensink. "There are no rules and if they were, I'd urge you to break those rules." Just keep in mind that an engagement ring is presumably next and you may be tempted to save some that bling budget for the engagement ring.

What finger will the promise ring fit on?


Which digit gets the honor of wearing the promise ring? Traditionally, it's the ring finger on the left hand, however the modern world demands new rules (or completely lacking). As Mensink declares, "pick any finger." Some might prefer a right-hand ring, or switch it depending on the mood. Your choice, your commitment.

What amount should you pay for a promise ring


In these times of economic uncertainty, it's not the million-dollar dilemma. A promise ring doesn't have to cost a fortune, and the cost will vary greatly depending on your budget, style and preferences. Mensink states that honoring your commitment doesn't need a set price. Your item and its price are personal to you. The price range can be as low or as high as you think suitable for your budget." Concentrate on the promise, not on the cost.
