Promise Rings - Love Waits Rings
The custom of choosing promise rings is not a new one. Promise rings were given for friendship and other reasons at least as early as biblical times. No doubt, the exchange of similar items to symbolize a personal commitment dates far back into antiquity. If you decide to make a promise ring commitment with someone, you’ll be following an ancient tradition. Here are some of the common intended meanings of promise rings:
Usually, both parties will pick out the promise rings. Typically, but not always, the rings will be matching and often be engraved with something relevant to both people. Most people buying promise rings will opt for simple bands since this makes it easier to get identical matching sets. Still, it isn’t uncommon to select unique ring designs that closely, but do not perfectly match. The importance lies in the intended meaning. Before you make a promise ring commitment it is wise to be absolutely clear what are the intentions are for each person. A young woman may take the receipt of a promise ring as a commitment to eventually get married, while the young man may only intend it to indicate that the relationship is exclusive for the time being. Likewise, if there is an intention to share a common goal, both of you should be absolutely clean about what is really expected of each of you. Talking through what is expected of each other will prevent your promise ring from becoming a hurtful symbol of a failed relationship. Purity rings are another type of promise ring. Among couples a purity ring symbolizes chastity and sometimes the ring is called a love waits . The couple intends the relationship to be romantic, but chaste. Among fiends it can simply indicate a willingness to be obligated to a common goal. When given by parents to a child the commitment is to avoid drug use, alcohol, sex, or other meaningful pledge. It is common that the promise ring is worn on the third finger of the left hand. Some of the most popular patterns these days are the Celtic designs. Also popular are puzzle rings and plain sterling silver rings. Although promise rings are given for a wide variety of reasons including love, they most importantly are reminders of the commitment we share with someone we care about. Sometimes these promises are commitments that can last a lifetime. Spend some time researching what is available in the different types and styles because you both may wear the rings for a very long time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
