Promise rings have different meanings for different people. Traditionally, they can be given for many different reasons. The most popular reason to give a promise ring is as a step before engagement. This is a symbol of your commitment to the person, without having to lock them in to the stronger commitment of engagement. If you are giving a promise ring to someone for this reason, you need to be extra careful that you are giving the right message with it. Quite often promise rings can be mistaken for engagement rings, and this can make for a very awkward situation that it would be best to avoid.
This is not the only reason promise rings are given. They are quite popular amongst teenage girls who want to show their best friend how much they mean. My daughter got one recently for a best friend that was moving overseas. It was a promise of their undying friendship with each other, and something that will serve her friend as a constant reminder of the good times they had together.
A promise ring doesn’t have to cost the world. There are promise rings out there encrusted with diamonds and the like that can cost literally thousands of dollars, but there are also cheap promise rings available that mean just as much for a fraction of the price. With the money that you save, you could engrave the ring with a message relating to the promise being made.
