A Promise Ring is a symbol of a commitment between two people. Some people use Promise Rings as pre-engagement rings; when two people are making a promise to each other but aren't quite ready for marriage. Often the term "Promise Ring" is used also to refer to Purity Rings; a promise of abstinence until marriage. Promise Rings date back to the 16th century, when young men would find the girl they wanted to marry, but yet couldn't afford to get married, they placed a promise ring on the girl's finger to show that she was the only girl for him. Sometimes they were called Poesy Rings, which are rings inscribed with romantic sayings. Promise Rings are still popular today; as pre-engagement rings, friendship rings, or purity rings. It's a visual reminder of your love & your promise. Related searches: Promise Rings for Girlfriend, Promise Rings for Her, Promise Rings for Couples
