Comments · 33 Views

 They are a symbol of love and symbolize love. Similar to wedding, engagement or eternity rings, they are given as a token of the love of a person. But they've been around for a much shorter amount of time, and are recently becoming popular like the other kinds of rings.

What are Couple Promise Rings Set?
 
 
 Since ancient times people exchanged rings and given them to symbolize affection. Records of Roman brides wearing rings dating back to the second century BC are available, however it's difficult to know whether they were precursors for engagement rings or commitment rings.
 
 
 The modern history of promise rings as we see it has been in use since 2000 and was influenced by American celebrities. Therefore, it's a distinctly modern idea that reflects the current times in which rituals and customs are constantly changing, growing and getting added to.
 
 
 What does the promise ring mean?
 
 
 It's actually very simple. A promise ring is an expression of love and loyalty in romantic relationships. This is true both for the person giving it as well as the person who receives it. Giving a promise ring symbolizes the next stage in the course of a relationship. It could be a prelude for an engagement ring however this isn't required. It could be a great alternative for couples who don't desire to be married and consider the engagement ring, due to its customs, meaningless. Some couples still feel the need to express their individuality to one another.
 
 
 What does a promise ring supposed to appear
 
 
 There aren't any set guidelines for the designs of promise rings. However it is common that promise rings are slightly smaller or less extravagant as compared with engagement rings. They usually have an intertwining heart, or infinity symbols.
 
 
 Gold is a very popular metal. Aside from the classic yellow gold, a ring made of white gold appears very pure. Rose gold however is extremely feminine and romantic.
 
 
 Diamond rings are among the most popular options for engagement rings. In a way, they symbolize the love of a lifetime, permanence and love diamonds are the perfect choice for an ring you declare an unwavering commitment to. To distinguish solitaire engagement rings from others many people opt for one with multiple smaller stones instead of a single large one. Furthermore, aside from the classics, stylish and unique designs are becoming very popular, a ring sporting a diamond with a marquise cut, for instance could be an original selection.
 
 
 We also recommend diamonds with color, particularly the champagne-colored ones that are feminine along with other gemstones with color, such as diamonds, sapphires and emeralds. A pink morganite, or tourmaline is a delicate touch to a vow ring. Rings with a pearl, which is a symbol of feminine beauty and the purity of a relationship, has also gained popularity.
 
 What finger will a promise ring sit on?
 
 
 It's usually worn on the ring finger of the left. Following the wedding, if it was meant as a pre-engagement band it's typically moved towards the right. However, there's no hard and fast rule for this also.
 
 
 When to give away an engagement ring
 
 
 Based on the relationship and the meaning you intend to convey with your ring, the time and date you present it could differ. When it comes to a relationship, an anniversary or Valentine's Day might be appropriate. Sometimes it is not, but an ordinary date is the most appropriate for the special meaning that we place on promise rings. The day is a significant event for the couple and is very special to the couple.
 
 
 The only guideline or rule worth mentioning but it is to make sure that the woman who receives the promise ring is aware of what it is. It is important to avoid confusions or disappointments in the relationship. You should both be on the same wavelength with regards to your relationship. A woman might not be thrilled with her anniversary celebration if she's waited several years for a marriage proposal but instead gets rings as a sign that her lover doesn't believe in marriage.
