Information About Promise Rings

Traditionally promise rings or couple’s rings referred to a promise of love made between a couple. But today there are different types of promises of love which people want an outward symbol for. The palladium mens rings for these different types of promises are often collectively referred to as promise rings. Because of this, it is necessary to provide the different types or categories as a part of this definition. The promise rings of today may be broken down into three major categories: pre-engagement rings, friendship rings and abstinence rings (also called chastity or purity rings). Each has its own significance and needs defining. Pre-engagement rings are the traditional promise rings. These rings represent a promise of exclusivity and at least serious intentions for an engagement at a later date.

They had a huge popularity in both France and England around the 17th century. Promise rings have a special significance to women. Men don’t usually wear palladium mens bands and even if they do they have their own significance. They are even exchanged between girlfriend and boyfriends as symbol of being faithful to each other. Mens promise rings can be worn as friendship rings, pre-engagement rings or just as purity promise rings. These are given by the parents to their children as a promise on the part of the child to not indulge in any sexual relationship of any kind before marriage. The design of the these for men are made similar to their partner’s ring. In that respect these rings are also known as promise pair rings as a symbol of deep love and affection for each other.

Abstinence rings, like friendship rings, are not symbolic of romantic love but are outward symbols of a promise to remain abstinent or chaste until marriage. Today, however, a palladium men’s ring worn as an abstinence ring (also called chastity or purity ring) may also be used to symbolize a promise to remain drug free. This promise may be a religious commitment to God, to self, to the wearer’s future, to the future spouse and/or to parents. Purity or Abstinence rings may represent a commitment to several people. In summary, promise rings are symbolic of romantic love that goes beyond the sparks that fly when you see someone attractive, the love of a friend that goes beyond just enjoying hanging out together as friendship rings and a self love or obedient love that is willing to sacrifice to an extent the pleasures of the present for the hopes of the future as abstinence rings. Promise rings symbolize a commitment to love in a deeper more meaningful way.
