Purity Rings


For the teenager of today, casual sex and promiscuity is every where you look. You cannot open up a magazine, surf the Internet, watch TV or listen to the radio with out sex and loose morals being glorified. However, there is a counter movement to this in Churches and Christian youth groups across the nation.

More teenagers and young adults are choosing to keep their virginity until marriage. There is also a movement in born again young adults who were previously sexually active, deciding to abstain from sex until they are married.

This trend is due in part to such campaigns as True Love Waits, launched by the Southern Baptists in 1993 which challenged teens and college students to remain true until marriage.

A symbol that is worn by many teens and college students to help them remain abstinent and to express their Faith is wearing purity rings. These rings first became popular in the 1990's and have sense taken off.

Typically the ring is worn on the ring finger of the left hand is to remain there until marriage. It is also popular to wear the ring on a necklace.

These rings both symbolize the persons wish to remain abstinent, they also symbolize a Faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ. The rings are an overt symbol of Christian lifestyle and the difficult decisions that can come with it.

The rings are popular with both boys and girls. The young men often wear rings with Crosses on them and the young women's rings will have smaller crosses or words such as purity or true love waits.

Purity or promise rings are often given out in small ceremonies among youth groups. They are also given as a symbol of commitment between two people that have both agreed to wait to have sex until they marry each other. This is one of the most common kinds of promise rings, they are a promise between two people who are engaged.

The chastity promise ring is for two people who are not yet engaged, but wish to commit celibacy and monogamy to each other and wish to remain pure until marriage.

The spiritual promise ring is a promise ring in which the wearer makes a pledge to a higher power greater than themselves. These rings often display a Christian symbol like a cross, dove, angel or praying hands.

Another form of promise rings is worn by those who wish to abstain from substance abuse. These rings are worn for those who wish to remain sober and are worn as a reminder of their sobriety from alcohol and drug abuse, food addiction, gambling or sexual addictions.

Purity rings are becoming more popular with teens and young adults. For what ever reason they decide to wear their rings, it seems to be a good thing as long as they have pure intentions and the decision to wear the ring is an outward statement in their belief in themselves and a higher power which can help get them through any adversary.

Budget: it is best to decide a ball park figure that you want to spend on the rings. When you have a budget in mind the jeweler will show you rings that fall in your budget. You won't waste time on seeing something that you can't afford

Designs: you can visit different online stores and see if you like any particular design. You must start shopping for your rings at least two to three months before the D day. This will ensure that you have ample time to go through different designs and select the one that suits your style and your budget.

Quality: rings are everyday wear just like charm bracelets or gold pendants hence you must choose something durable. Platinum is harder and can withstand everyday wear and tear with grace. You may also opt for 18K gold instead. Irrespective of the material chosen, you must ensure that it is of top quality. These rings are symbolic and they have to be the best. These rings are going to remind you of your love so you better not compromise on quality of these rings.

Style: please understand that these rings are going to be a daily wear item just like your partner's gold pendants or charm bracelets hence it is important that they have a practical style.

If you are planning on having a diamond ring then make sure that the prongs are not visible. 6 prong setting is recommended for daily wear rings where as 4 prongs setting is apt for more exquisite work.

Trusted Jeweler: another important factor is the jeweler. Instead of ordering your promise rings online just like your charm bracelets or gold pendants you must buy them personally from a store. Having personal contacts with the jeweler is extremely important in case you need to resize or modify the ring. Always buy your jewelry from a trusted jeweler. Don't forget to ask for authenticity certificate for your diamond rings.

Now that you know things that you must keep in mind before buying the rings, let us look at engraving ideas for your special commitment rings.

Emoticons or birthstones are also popular options in these rings. It is best to shop for these rings as a couple so that both the partners are happy with the final choice. Don't rush into buying the rings. Take your time and buy something that is unique just like you are.

Symbolism In Claddagh Rings


There is a lot of symbolism in jewelry. For example, it is not uncommon for a man to walk into a bar, see a woman he finds attractive and for that man to immediately look at a woman's left hand. Doesn't this seem odd to anyone else? Well, no. Not if you're aware of the custom of wearing a ring on your ring finger of your left hand to symbolize your marital status.

The engagement and wedding rings aren't the only symbolic rings however. There is an entire world of rings called fede rings that also symbolize union. The most popular type of fede rings are claddagh rings. These rings, which gain their name from the small town outside of Galway Ireland where they were founded, are a special type of ring that can symbolize many different iterations of marital status.

The ring, which features two hands clasping a heart and a crown over the heart, can be worn in a number of ways. If it is worn on the right hand with the point of the heart facing away from the body, it means that the person wearing it has no romantic attachment and is free to be courted. However, beware boys because if the ring is on that same finger, but the point of the heart is facing in, it means that there is a strong romantic bond between that person and another. It does not however mean they are engaged to be married. When worn on the left hand ring finger, regardless of orientation of the heart, it means that the person is engaged or married.

While Claddagh rings have mainly been a symbol of Irish culture, they are worn by many nationalities as a symbol of attachment. Another interesting fact is that even though they have been produced on a consistent basis in Galway, Ireland since around the 1700s, the term "Claddagh" did not come about until the 1840s!

These Claddagh rings have not only a symbolic purpose for a couple who is getting married, or for someone looking for love, they also have a personal and strong family symbolism. It is tradition that the ring will be passed from a mother to her future-son-in-law to give to his bride to be as an engagement ring. This way the ring is handed down through the generations to give extra meaning. It is interesting that a tradition that began in the earliest of the Renaissance years has survived with such vigor throughout the centuries to still be relevant and meaningful today.

The Meaning of Diamond Promise Rings and Tips Before Purchasing


In recent years, diamond promise rings have become more popular than ever. People from all walks of life, including celebrities and young people in the suburbs have them. You can find these rings in any number of styles with a wide variety of stones placed in them.

What Does the Ring Symbolize?

Generally, promise rings are given as a symbol of a couple's commitment to one another. Quite often the rings are exchanged when a couple plan on becoming engaged in the future, but aren't to that step of their relationship quite yet. This is great, as it allows both people in the relationship to test their commitment before taking the larger steps of getting engaged and married.

The Varieties of Rings Available

While promise rings are generally smaller and less expensive than an engagement ring, there are still a large number of choices for the stones and settings used. Most commonly a diamond is used in a gold or silver setting, but you can customize this with just about any stone or precious metal you choose.

Tips on Buying Diamond Promise Rings

When you decide to buy a ring for your partner, it is extremely important to take their personal tastes into consideration. Do they prefer gold, silver or white gold? What sort of stone would they like set in the ring?

You should also try to find out your partner's ring size before purchasing the ring. While most jewelers will re-size a ring, it could destroy any pattern etched into the ring's surface.

Another thing to take into consideration is what sort of activities your partner takes part it. If he or she has a job where the ring could be scratched or bent easily, then you will want to find a ring with a harder metal such as silver.

Remember, whatever style or type of ring you choose to purchase for your partner it is the thought that counts more that the materials used in the ring's creation.

Diamond Ring Purchasing Guide


Diamond rings are extremely popular. They also often represent the first diamond purchasing experience for people. This diamond ring purchasing guide is designed to let you know how to go about the process.

Diamond rings are most often thought about when it is time to propose, as an engagement ring. These important rings, worn on the left ring finger, are a symbol of a promise of marriage and a sign of dedication to a future together. While these may be the most important and famous types of diamond rings, there are many other types of diamond rings that can be given and worn just as thankfully.

A good idea before purchasing any diamond jewelry is to look at a guide. A diamond ring purchasing guide can help you to decide on what sort of ring is right for your occasion, as well as allow you to browse the different types of rings available. Aside from engagement rings, there are many other important occasions that may warrant a diamond. A promise ring is also usually a diamond ring, although one of a much smaller carat size. Some younger couples use promise rings as a sort of "pre" engagement ring - a promise to get engaged with a bigger diamond ring at a later date. Others use the promise ring just as a promise of staying together, with no further commitment implied.

Another occasion where looking at a diamond ring purchasing guide may be helpful is for the wedding ring itself. Today, many couples are opting to purchase wedding rings that are different from the standard plain gold or platinum bands. Some couples choose to get a diamond ring that matches the engagement ring for the bride (as in a bridal set) and still others choose to get a groom's ring with diamonds on it as well. Diamonds, being a symbol of love and longevity, are no longer just worn by women - men are also wowed by these sparkly stones.

A final reason to look at purchasing a diamond ring may actually be for no reason at all! Women are beginning to see the advantages of purchasing themselves a diamond ring - whether or not they are married. These rings are typically more stylish and fanciful than a traditional engagement ring, and are usually not worn on the left hand. Known as right hand rings, these diamond rings are a symbol of a woman's independence, or maybe even just a way to show how much they love diamonds.

No matter the reason, knowing the type of diamond ring you are searching for, and the reason you are purchasing the ring, can be very helpful when you set out to visit a jeweler.

Titanium Promise Rings - The Perfect Symbol


Since the early part of the 1900s, titanium has been used for a number of different reasons. These not only include being used in space because of its light weight and strength properties, the military has also used this alloy as well. Of course, titanium is best known for its uses in jewelry and it is possible to get titanium jewelry in anything from a watchband to a promise ring. As a matter of fact, titanium promise rings are some of the most popular jewelry that is available out there and these, along with wedding bands are the fastest growing segment in the wedding jewelry market.

Titanium promise rings are typically given to others in order to signify that they have a romantic attachment and are promising to be faithful. They are given as a way of showing commitment without taking the additional step of marriage at that particular time. They may also stand for a lot of other things that include letting a person know that you will wait for them until they're ready or perhaps that you will be there for an individual, no matter what. Regardless of why you give them, however, titanium promise rings always display a level of commitment from one person to another.

Promise Rings Vs Engagement Rings: What's the Difference?


You've finally found the woman of your dreams. There's no denying it. You want to spend every waking moment next to her, and when you are apart, you feel as if your life just doesn't have any meaning.

Yes, that's love.

But are you ready for a commitment yet? Are you ready to take her hand and walk through the ups and downs on life's road and ensure she always feels needed, protected, wanted, and loved? Are you ready for... marriage?

While some of you may be shaking your heads yes, telling me you are indeed ready to get down on one knee, tie the knot, and stand by her side for the rest of your life, I know some of you are probably scared to death at the thought. You know you are committed to her. You don't want anyone else in your life. But the idea of marriage is something you need to think long and hard about.

These two points of view are completely different, and they offer us a unique insight to the difference between promise rings and engagement rings.

The Difference Between Promise and Engagement Rings

Promise rings are rings given to a woman or man before an engagement ring is presented. This ring does not symbolize a commitment to marriage, but rather a commitment to a monogamous relationship with that particular romantic partner. It may also symbolize the desire to marry, in time. These rings can be worn on the left ring finger, but are usually worn on other fingers so they are not confused with actual engagement rings.

Engagement rings, of course, are presented to a romantic partner when you are ready for the lifetime commitment of marriage. They usually come after a promise ring, if one is given, and are designed to be the type of ring a woman would love to wear for the rest of her life.

Why Are Promise Rings Used?

Because promise rings are generally much less expensive and elaborate than engagement rings, they are often used as 'place holders.' When a young man is trying to save up for an engagement ring, he presents his love with this place holder to show his intended bride he is committed to the relationship and doesn't want her to go anywhere. This gives him a little extra time to save up for those beautiful engagement bands.

Should I Buy an Engagement or Promise Ring?

While many young couples may favour using promise rings before engagement rings, they aren't altogether necessary. If you are ready for a life-long commitment to the woman of your dreams, don't settle for a mediocre ring. Give her a ring she will want to wear for the next fifty years of your lives.

A real engagement ring will show her you truly care, and that you are truly interested in standing by her side throughout the years, while a promise ring simply states you 'plan' to become engaged and eventually marry. When or if this promise will actually occur, however, is often left up in the air.

The Purity Ring and Other Various Types of Christian Jewelry


Christian Purity Ring

Christian Jewelry is extremely popular throughout the world. One of the most symbolic and meaningful pieces of Christian jewelry includes the purity ring or otherwise known as a promise ring. There are many designs of the purity ring, and there are many reasons why an individual would decide to make a promise of abstinence. Some of these reasons include: family beliefs, personal beliefs, desire to avoid the risks of STDs and pregnancy. Whatever the reason is for an individual to choose to make a vow of abstinence until marriage, the purity ring is a fantastic method of symbolizing and honoring that promise. Additionally, there are alternatives to these rings for those who feel that their vow of abstinence is strictly a personal issue, rather than a public one.

Designs for Purity Rings

The promise ring comes in countless forms of designs and colors. Some of the most popular designs included un-bloomed flowers, Christian fish, common christen symbols, crosses, WWJD, "true love waits," etc. Additionally, these rings come in a vast range of qualities. A youngster can choose from a basic sterling silver ring or a high-end ring which incorporates diamonds or birthstones. Christian jewelry can be just as expensive as non-Christian jewelry. However, Christian jewelry is usually significantly more meaningful.

Alternatives to Rings

Other forms of Christian jewelry can serve as alternatives to the a ring. However, they can have the exact same meanings. Some people prefer not to wear rings, and others want to make the purity vow in private. For those who don't want to show off their vow of purity to the world, there are many pieces of christen jewelry which can be worn beneath the clothing such as pendants or lockets. Some individuals prefer bracelets, wristbands, or even necklaces to symbolize their vow of abstinence.

Why it's Important

Whatever piece of Christian jewelry an individual chooses has relatively little effect on the grand scheme of things. The important part is that the individual made the promise to abstain from sex until marriage. Outside of that promise, the purity or promise rings are simply a reminder for the individual to keep his or her word to God. The jewelry, in itself, has relatively little power. If one were to break his or her promise of abstinence, the ring would essentially be powerless. Therefore, purity rings can hold a great deal of power one minute, and absolutely no power the next minute.

Show Your Intention With a Pearl Promise Ring


Promise rings are given for a wide variety of reasons, which can be either romantic or platonic. A promise ring is often seen as the step that comes before an engagement ring. It symbolizes a strong relationship with the eventual intention of marriage. Dating couples can use?the rings to represent their permanent commitment to one another. Promise rings are also commonly used as a symbol of abstinence.

In a more platonic sense,?they can symbolize committed friendship, especially when friends are separated by distance. Despite the reason for which a promise ring is given, they come in many shapes and forms. It can be a simple plain band with a single pearl, incorporate diamonds or semi-precious stones as accents, or come in a band constructed from precious metals. Essentially, it can be whatever the individual desires it to be.

The pearl promise ring is a unique twist on a classic piece of jewelry. Pearls can range in color from white to black. Different colors of pearls have different symbolic meanings. For example, black pearls were often given to the recently bereaved to symbol comfort. In more modern times, the color white symbolizes purity or abstinence, while the color black symbolizes wisdom or perfection.

Other common color choices for pearls include pink, gold, ivory, and silver. Bands for the rings can be made of any type of metal. Traditional bands are generally made of silver, gold, white gold, or platinum. The options of different metals combined with different colors of pearls can create some highly unique and interesting jewelry.

There are generally two types of categories for pearls: saltwater and freshwater. Freshwater pearls are grown in mussels that reside in freshwater. They are typically smaller than saltwater pearls, and they may contain more imperfections. The techniques used to create these pearls can often create up to twenty pearls from one mussel. Saltwater pearls are grown in oysters, and they occur naturally in nature.

Tips For Choosing Promise Rings For Men


While promise rings for men are not that common, but they are becoming more popular. In this article we are going to look at some tips to help you choose the perfect one for your significant other.

You need to keep your partner's taste in mind when choosing any gift, whether it be clothing, art or anything else. Promise rings for men are no exception. You want to make sure that the jewelry is worn daily, so you must be sure that it will fit in with his lifestyle. Some questions you should ask yourself before acquiring a ring for him include:


What type of metal should you choose? Picking the right type of metal is extremely important. Soft metals such as solid gold are easily scratched or can be bent or knocked out of shape. If your partner partakes in daily activities that could harm the ring, then you will want to choose a metal that is harder, such as silver. Also keep in mind what sort of precious metals he is partial to.
What style should you get him? There are a number of different styles available for promise rings for men. Again, consider your partner's taste. Would he prefer something simple? Or would he like more decorative ring? If he likes more decorative jewelry, there are a number of Celtic designs available on the market.
Would he like decorative stones in the ring? There are a variety of options if you would like to place precious stones in the ring. While diamonds of all varieties and colors are standard, a slightly different idea is to include his birthstone to give it a more personal touch.

Whats All the Fuss About Promise Rings?


Romantic relationships give meaning and structure to life. No matter how we may advance as a culture, romantic traditions tend to endure.

In the same manner that religious tokens, such as crosses, are used to demonstrate devotion, the Promise or Engagement Ring is another symbol of devotion between a couple. Additionally it also serves as a signal to the public of the couples devotion to each other and a constant reminder of their mutual affection.

Some experts say that a woman's brain is wired to seek a male for protection, status and security. By wearing a promise ring or engagement ring, the woman is announcing to her peers that she has been successful in attracting a mate and the more expensive the ring, the more likely that the male is of higher status and hence who can provide more protection and security

When a man buys a ring for his girlfriend, he should consider not only the message he is sending to his lover, but the message that he is sending to other women, his family, his friends and to the public at large.

Promise rings are given to represent the the relationship between two people and their mutual desire to care for one another. Couples tend to give each other promise rings to signify friendship, "going steady" or to indicate that the couple is living together. The ring is usually the prelude to the eventual engagement

Unlike engagement rings, which frequently are diamond rings, promise rings are traditionally more personalized. Some popular models have multiple colourful stones that have a private meaning, such as birthstone gems, or a poetic touches like heart details or an engraved band. Heart-shaped settings are popular for promise rings, but many lovers also customize the setting to feature unusual shapes such as stars. Prong settings with solitaire diamonds are also common, though the diamond may be smaller or less expensive than with a traditional engagement ring.

Promise Ring: A New Bondage for an Old Relationship


The new trend on the market is for the promise ring, which can also be a wedding ring - bearing the significance of the promise of the wedding. These rings actually are interchanged within a couple and mostly enhance a promise made to each other. Generally it is a commitment which is not as good as a wedding commitment but the ring shows a symbol of the love they have for each other. It may be a pre-engagement ring which shows the bondage of two people without any social commitment. Some relations that have no traditional value and the people who commit such relationships do give promise rings to each other.

The promise ring for men is available in different shapes and colors. The various styles are there for your choice and again the metals also can be chosen for they come in various metal bodies on which a design prospers better. The Claddagh rings are based on Irish traditions and mainly got three parts, the hands holding a heart, a crown and a heart. The Irish tradition says the hands resemble friendship and the heart shows the love. The crown symbolizes fidelity and loyalty. These symbols can express the emotions due to which one goes for this type of ring at any stage of the relationship.

The promise rings for women generally symbolizes the fidelity that is there in the commitment but which has not reached the engagement stage due to some causes. The promise ring does show your love which is there and also has not come within the realms of any relationship that proclaims responsibility. The promise ring for women can have stones or just the band with designs engraved on it. The women do also love the rings with Celtic knot engraved on it. Since it symbolizes two different soul or heart entwined together - it sets a different meaning for the women which are close to her heart.

What Is the Meaning Of a Promise Ring?


The idea of rings as a symbol of a relationship is nothing new. People have worn rings for thousands of years, at times for body adornment or decoration, while at other times for a symbolic reason. Today people continue to wear rings as symbols, most notably of love. Because the ring is round and never ending, it bears a resemblance to how people feel when they are in a committed relationship with another. Thus the idea of promise rings comes into play. Promise rings for men and women make fantastic gifts for the lover's holiday, Valentine's Day, which is coming up soon.

Promise rings for men and women may also be considered by some to be pre-engagement rings. If you are in a monogamous relationship with your significant other, you may want to commemorate this Valentine's Day with a ring that shows you care.

This type of ring may also be given as a ring prior to the engagement ring. What this type of ring symbolizes is that the couple agrees to not have romantic relationships with others, and later as their relationship grows and develops, the plan is to move to an actual engagement ring.

There are all types of relationships for which you may want to give a ring as a present. Giving a ring as a token of affection for a mother, daughter, granddaughter, grandson, sister, son, daughter-in-law or grandmother is a lovely way of sharing your love with the important people in your life. Promise rings, however, are given to pay special honor to a romantic relationship, making them different from other types of relationship rings.

The rings may be made of gold or silver, and adorned in different ways. Jewels are common, and diamonds and other precious gemstones like rubies, sapphires and emeralds are beautiful when used in this manner. The gemstones may also represent the birthstones for the couple. Sometimes the band of the ring is also inscribed with the names of the couple, or another short sentiment. The ring may also epitomize the relationship by utilizing a heart-shaped design.

You can find a large selection of these and other fashion rings when you visit an online fine collectibles merchant.

Tips for Buying Diamond Promise Rings


Throughout the years, promise rings have been given as a symbol of one's intent to someday marry, of one's commitment and faithfulness, or as a sign to keep a promise of sorts or hold a secret. A gemstone, usually small in weight and diameter, is typically placed within some type of heart-shaped setting. Sometimes several gemstone chips are placed in a heart outline, or a cluster of tiny gems create the illusion of one larger, heart-shaped stone. Still other promise rings have no heart-shaped design, but are instead a single, small diamond placed within a sometimes intricately designed, yellow or white gold setting.

While you're shopping for such a time-honored symbol of love and compassion, there are a few things that you my want to take into consideration before spending your hard-earned cash:

First, true promise rings are crafted of gold, either yellow or white. Sterling Silver is not the precious metal of choice for such an important symbol. If your recipient of choice isn't fond of yellow gold, keep in mind that a white gold promise ring has the look of sterling silver, but is significantly higher in quality. Gemstones glimmer and shine just as they should in a white gold promise ring.

Next, promise rings are not engagement rings, no matter what your intentions of the gift may be. Therefore, two-months salary isn't a guide to price. You can find a beautiful, well-crafted 14K yellow or white gold promise ring for under $300, with many stunning designs available for as low at $150. When (and if) the time comes, you can scrounge up the necessary cash for a diamond engagement ring. But until that time, don't feel the need to spend an exorbitant amount of money.

Purchasing a promise ring should come from the heart, so you'll want to buy from a jeweler that understands what you're doing and where you're coming from, and has a heart of its own. The seller should have a good return policy (in case you change your mind) and quick service when you want it- but also patience when you need it.

Finally, don't limit yourself to local and mall jewelry stores that have a huge rent to pay, with a staff full of employees who work on commission. The Internet has brought shopping into your home, so it's time you started utilizing it for what it's worth. You can shop 10 different jewelry stores in 10 minutes on the World Wide Web, accessing every possible detail about any promise ring that you'd like to see, one that's certain to fit perfectly on the finger of your promised.

What Are Right Hand Rings?


Well, it seems that diamonds are not only meant for engagements any more. More diamonds than ever are being sold in the form of right rings. An incredible increase in the sales of right hand rings has got many people wondering. What is a right hand ring and what does it mean?

A right hand ring is one that may have diamonds or other stones, but it does not look like a wedding or engagement ring. They generally are more decorative or ornate than traditional engagement rings or wedding bands. The good thing about right hand rings is that you can buy one for yourself!

Originally, right hand rings were worn to accentuate the fact that you did not have an engagement or wedding ring on the left hand. You could give your suitor a silent hint that you loved diamond rings, but you were purposely leaving that left ring finger open to invitation. Now, everyone is buying them. They are becoming incredibly popular and have pretty much taken over the costume jewelry market. Women now want jewelry that compliments their matrimonial set. Costume jewelry just does not make the grade any more. Why cheapen that beautiful ring on your left hand by wearing something gaudy and fake on the right? Real diamonds and gold or platinum are the way to go.

Right hand rings make great gifts to give or receive. You can give a right hand ring your own meaning. Some give them as congratulatory rings. Some give them as an anniversary gift or wedding gift. Right hand rings can really show someone how special you think they are. They make wonderful promise rings or mother rings. You have so many design choices that you may find it hard to make up your mind. With this type of gift, you really can not get too luxurious. Maybe now you can buy your special lady that diamond that you could not afford back when you were dating and gave her an engagement ring. That original ring does not necessarily need to be replaced, but maybe complimented by a giant diamond right hand ring. Okay, if giant is not quite your speed, there are plenty of delicate designs to choose from.

Unlike diamond solitaires, although many right hand rings now sport big diamonds, you can find a right hand ring to fit your budget.

3 Tips to Help You Choose Cheap Promise Rings


When you are looking to purchase a promise ring for your significant other, there's no reason that it has to be extremely expensive. There are several options for buying cheap promise rings online and offline these days. In this article we are going to explore some tips to help you find the beautiful ring that you want at an affordable price.

Tip 1 - Set Your Budget

It is important to set a budget and stick to it. This is true of any purchase that you make. Knowing what you can afford to spend will save you the frustration of going over your budget and looking at rings that you can't afford.

Tip 2 - Choose the Precious Metal that You Want

There are many options for what type of precious metal your ring can be made from. It can be made from yellow gold, white gold or sterling silver. My personal opinion is to start your search with sterling silver, as it will be much less expensive than the other options and gives you a good starting point for pricing.

Tip 3 - Decide Whether or Not You Want a Gemstone Placed in the Ring

To add a special touch, you can add a gemstone setting to the ring. One good idea is to add your partner's birthstone to their promise ring. For an added bonus you could get matching rings with both of you birthstones in them. Gemstone rings will range in price from around $50 to $350. The quality of the ring will not be dictated by the price, if you find a reputable jeweler, it is quite possible that you can get a high quality ring for a decent amount.

Remember to keep your partner's sense of style in mind when shopping for cheap promise rings. You want them to love the ring and wear it on a daily basis as a symbol of your love for one another!

The Different Types of Rings and What You Ought to Know About Them


Basically, a ring is a circular band worn around the finger as an ornament by a man or a woman. It can be made of gemstone, plastic, metal, ceramic, wood, or glass. It can also be made from clay or any other material. Usually precious and semi-precious stones are used to adorn it. Diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires are among the most commonly used. In addition, it is classified into different types. Wedding rings, for instance, are the most popular types of rings. They are traditionally worn by couples who vowed to spend the rest of their lives together. They generally represent everlasting love. They are also a means to remind couples of their commitments to each other. Nonetheless, there are also different types of rings used for weddings. Plain golden bands are considered as the standard type while interwoven types are more preferred by the French.

Then, there are engagement bands which are also among the popular types of rings. However, it became a common practice for men not to wear these. Only the women are given expensive and beautiful pieces to show that they are getting married soon. Engagement bands are closely related to wedding bands. They also represent love, but they are mostly insinuations to other men that the women wearing these little jewelries are already taken. So, whenever a man sees a woman wearing an engagement band, he should know that he cannot attempt to woo her. Other popular types of rings are purity rings and promise rings.

Well, purity rings are quite new. These types of rings have only been popular in the previous decades. They are a bit similar to promise rings and are basically worn by Christians. They can be worn by anyone of any age, although teenagers are more likely to wear them. These types of rings symbolize chastity. Anyone who wears a purity ring vows not to have any sexual activity until he or she is married. They should take a look at their rings whenever they are tempted to do such acts. Promise rings, on the other hand, represent promises or commitments. They do not represent particular promises, though. Anything can do as long as it is supposed to be kept. For instance, a man can wear a promise ring to constantly remind himself of his vow not to drink or smoke anymore.

Moreover, there are friendship rings. These types of rings symbolize friendship. They can be worn by a group of friends or be given to people whom they want to be friends with. Friendship ships are usually fancy rings that come in different colors and shapes. These types of rings might not represent romance, but they still represent important relationships.

Diamond Promise Rings For the One You Love


Promise rings have been about for a number of centuries, dating back to the 16th century. Sometimes they are also known as friendship rings, depending on who it comes from. Since the 16th century however, things have changed somewhat. These type of rings used to be given from a man to a woman as a promise that they would one day get married. Usually finances would be the deciding factor.

For young couples these days who know that they have met their match, but just aren't quite ready to tie the knot, this type of ring is just the answer. For those who have a little extra to give, a diamond ring will go down well with a young lady. It's not the size of the diamond that counts on a ring, there'll be time for that when a proper proposal takes place.

Generally the designs of diamond promise rings include a heart, possibly two. The hearts can be joined on entwined with one another. The heart is obviously used a symbol of the love shared between the two people and the fact that the man's heart is promised to the lady. Some diamond rings have a 3 stone design, similar to a 3 stone engagement ring, but the stones themselves will be smaller. Not all promise rings have hearts in the design, but it may just be a very classic design. The ring itself being a circle, represents eternity that these two people plan to be together for.

There are slight changes in our society, and with them so have promise rings also evolved. There are times when a young lady wishes to give her heart to a young man. She buys him a man's ring, which he can either accept or decline.

A diamond promise ring is still given between young couples these days, but in these modern times anyone can give a promise ring to another person, as long it has meaning, regardless of people's financial status.

The Long and Fascinating History of Friendship Rings


Friendship rings, or promise rings as they are now frequently called, are given to indicate commitment between the closest of friends. The level of commitment indicated may involve a decision to get married, or it can indicate a non-romantic wish that a pact of friendship should always be remembered and honored.

The historical origins of the friendship rings stretches back to the Ancient world. Thousands of years ago rings were worn on necks, noses and ears. Most researchers believe that the use of finger rings was first popularized in Ancient Egypt. A few thousand years later the Greeks were using rings to indicate pledges. In Roman times betrothal rings became popular, and rings with twin hands representing faith (appropriately enough known as faith rings) appeared on the scene. Apparently the Romans were the first to introduce the custom of wearing the ring on the third finger of the left hand and engraving rings was another innovation that appeared in Roman times.

During the Medieval age the giving of friendship rings with clasped hands was popular, while wealthier people began to have costly jewels set into their rings. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries poesy rings were introduced, with poesy referring to a style of poetry where short lines on the themes of romance or faith were engraved on rings. These rings were commonly given as what we would call engagement rings. Similarly designed rings are still sold today in a number of online stores and other outlets.

There is general agreement that a major leap forward in the history of friendship rings occurred in late seventeenth and early eighteenth century Ireland in the Galway Bay area of Western Ireland, and in particular around Claddagh and nearby fishing villages. A local goldsmith named Richard Joyce designed a ring that has become known as the claddagh ring. His design of two hands clasping a heart symbol with a crown engraved above it has become one of the most enduring and sought after friendship ring designs. According to the local legend he learned his craft while held prisoner by Algerian pirates. Clearly he must already have been a person of means with connections in high places since the King of England is supposed to have intervened and secured his release. Faced with the offer of marrying the daughter of his Algerian master and coming into a rich inheritance, he decided he would nevertheless prefer to return to Ireland.

Joyce's jewelry business did not continue into the mid-eighteenth century and for a while the claddagh ring went out of fashion. However, the success he had enjoyed was remembered by other jewelers in the Galway area and they successfully reintroduced the idea. Until the mid-nineteenth century the popularity of the claddagh ring did not extend far beyond the Galway Bay region. The introduction of the mechanization into jewelry manufacture in the mid-nineteenth century opened up new possibilities to market these friendship rings to a wider clientele at more competitive prices. From this time onwards, the claddagh ring began to build its international profile. Today a variety of designs using identical are similar themes rank high in the popularity lists of friendship rings sold in many jewelry shops and via online sites.

The amazing growth of the online friendship ring market represents one of the most striking contemporary developments in the history of friendship rings. In addition the idea of giving friendship rings is spreading across cultural and national barriers. Never have people has such a range of designs and ring materials to choose from nor such convenient ways of buying a ring that meets their aspirations.

Promise Rings - A Symbol Of Love


Most often when thinking of someone receiving a ring whether it is for engagement, wedding or a gift you might think that it is always a woman that is the receiver however today it is becoming more common for men to receive rings.

The promise ring is a ring that is given to a man by a woman as a symbol of commitment and often considered as a mans engagement ring.

These ring can also symbolise other emotions, quite often a ring will be exchanged between friends or family members as a gesture of love and a eternal friendship.

It is important when offering a promise ring to someone that you both understand the meaning of the promise in question, you do not want to give a male friend a promise ring based on a promise of friendship and they think it is a promise of marriage.

If the promise ring is for engagement one of the advantages is this type of ring will be considerably lower in price than a normal engagement ring. If the ring is for a man then it is important to choose a metal that is going to both suit the wearer and last a long time.

Titanium is a popular choice of mens promise rings because this type of metal is strong and durable but also light in weight. A titanium promise ring will retain its shape and is also bio compatible which mean it will be less likely to cause any skin irritations should the receiver have sensitive skin.

Titanium will not rust or discolour and its strength makes it a more masculine metal which is perfect if the promise ring is intended for a man

There is no rule when it comes to which finger a ring should be worn, generally speaking if the engagement then the ring is worn on the left hand and then moved to the right hand once the wedding has taken place. If the ring is for friendship then the right hand will avoid any confusion of romantic ties between the giver and receiver.

There are many styles of promise rings, your budget and the promise itself will determine which type of ring you chose, if it is for engagement you may consider a diamond promise ring if the ring is a simple promise of friendship then a pain ring with the word friendship engraved on it may suit you better.

Which ever type of ring you decide on make sure than when you give it to someone they understand the meaning, maybe adding a little note or card in the ring box explaining what promise you are making will avoid any confusion.

Why Claddagh And Promise Rings Came To Represent Commitment


Rings have a long history of promise-keeping. They were used often between two people to signify a deal that was made and worn until the pact was completed. That's why it was common to see rings used by members of royal families, knighthood, and religious figures. Call it superstition, myth, or whatever you like, breaking the promise was considered a great offense. As time progressed that meaning was modernized but never lost. We use wedding rings, promise rings, and Claddagh rings to bind our commitments.

Promise rings are often interpreted as the precursor to an engagement ring but it does not have to be limited by this definition. They can just as easily be used by friends and family to signify they will always be there for you. The ring is meant to be worn for the duration of the promise, or until it develops into something more and is replaced by a new ring.

Essentially the etiquette is to be straight-forward with the terms of the promise. Sometimes it is suggested to write a note or vow to correlate with the gift giving. They are gender neutral jewelry and come in a variety of styles. The bands are a preferred choice for men, but there are also engagement ring styled options. Women may enjoy heart-shaped promise rings for friendships. You can find them in silver and gold tones, quite commonly rose or white gold.

Claddagh rings have a similar meaning but they are closer to the idea of the wedding or engagement ring. They are made for people in (or out) love. The term "Claddagh" is derived from the town of the same name. Its definition, oddly enough actually means "stony beach" because of the origin within County Galway by the water. The hands denote lasting friendship, the heart signifies love, and the crown means loyalty.

They are sometimes used in place of wedding rings, birth stone rings, and faith rings. There are some modern variations of the ring but traditional styles are popular. They, too, are gender neutral rings but the men's ring is often heavier and slightly bulkier. The way in which you wear this accessory is based solely on your current relationship status. These gifts are meant to be given only to those most dear to your heart.

Take your time when you purchase these gifts. You might want to bring your loved one along with you since you are both going to be wearing the jewelry. Try on the variations and pick the best fit for both of you.

Important Things to Consider When Shopping For Promise Rings


Promise rings are pre-engagement rings have become a highly popular trend among modern-day couples. The same as engagement rings, promise rings also signify intention to marry, but the promise rings in particular are a way to say that "I intend to marry you but I am not yet ready to get engaged." It is a way to express intention for couples who don't wish to rush into a commitment but see their relationship as a prospective knot.

When it comes to promissory rings, one should choose wisely both in terms of budget and type. Firstly you should always keep in mind that while buying a promissory ring you are setting a benchmark for engagement and wedding rings. For instance you cannot gift your partner with a 1000$ diamond promise ring and then present her with a 700$ gemstone ring as in this way you would kill all the excitement and expectations. Therefore before buying a promise ring just ask yourself how much are you ready to spend in all including the budget of an engagement as well as a wedding ring.

After you have decided your total budget it is advised to allot 1/6 of that towards promise rings. You can experiment with different types of precious and semi precious gemstones to pick unique designs. The good thing about gemstones is that they not only provide options for all price ranges but can also be personalized to a large extend. You can actually choose a gem that matches personality of your partner or can go with birthstone studded couple rings. On one hand where these gemstones can match the personality of your partner you can also use them creatively to express the level or mood of your relationship. For example a ruby ring could represent romance, passion and indulgence while a sapphire or tanzanite rings could be used to signify purity and soulmateship.

You don't need to panic if your budget is limited. You can actually use your budget wisely to pick an economic yet impact leaving option. Thanks to the wide selection of beautiful semiprecious stones. Lovely aquamarine, citrine, peridot and amethyst rings are not only friendly to your pocket but they also are unique and unconventional at the same time. You can easily get a gorgeous aquamarine solitaire ring in white gold for as low as 250 dollars. If have more to spend then you can go with elaborate designs in diamond accents. In case you wish to spend more on a gem than precious metal, you can always replace gold with sterling silver to create that extra margin. In contrast to this if you wish to go simple and bold go for eternity bands.




Jewelry is not just in writing but a fascination for me. I grew into it since the day I started my research. There is a lot that one needs to know about jewelry simply because they are so valuable that you cannot afford to miss a single bit. Gemstone Jewelry and Tanzanite Rings.

Commitment Rings - Six Tips to Help You Find Unique Matching Rings


Once upon a time, commitment rings were all the rage with soldiers going off to war who were leaving their sweethearts at home. Couple exchanged rings, not to signal their engagement, but as a symbol of their love while they were apart.

Now in the 21st century, commitment rings are making a comeback.

Diamonds are all about getting engaged, while gold is associated with marriage. But many couples are finding they want something symbolic, something different, as a token of their love towards each other. And of course, there are now many couples who aren't ever planning on getting married, but would like to express their love with a ring.

So contrary to what some people say, commitment rings, or promise rings as they're also known, aren't just a fancy or new-fangled way of saying 'engagement ring'. They're just about two people finding a symbol of unity as a way to express their feelings towards each other.

So what makes a good commitment ring? Check out these six pointers to help you in your quest for a great ring:

1) Showing your commitment with a ring isn't necessarily about splashing the cash. It's about finding something that expresses a common tie or interest or belief; it's not about making some huge financial investment (you can do that with the engagement ring if everything works out!). And you're in luck because there are some great affordable promise rings on the market.

2) Go for something unique, because you are unique and so is your relationship. What do I mean by unique? Original design is always a winner, or interesting and unusual materials can be real showstoppers. For example, rings made from natural Amazonian seeds that are then inlaid and lined with silver provide an original take on the traditional seed ring. And an original ring design needn't mean it's going to break the bank.

3) There's a lot to be said for going for a complete contrast with anything that might look an engagement or wedding ring. After all, you don't want to give off the wrong message. I have an 18-year old friend whose parents freaked when they saw him wearing a promise ring that looked to them like it was a wedding ring.

4) Fair trade rings show that you care about our world and care about who is making your jewellery. After all, do you really want the rings that symbolise your love to have been made under exploitative conditions?

5) It's best to choose your commitment rings together, unless your partner has complete confidence in your taste and choice!

6) If you or your partner think of jewellery as more of a female thing, fear not. Rings need not be effeminate. Ultimately, a promise ring is not about hard and fast rules, but about finding rings that you are both comfortable with. That's part of their beauty.

Bear in mind these simple pointers when you're choosing your promise rings and you'll have a symbol of your relationship to wear and enjoy!

The History Of Men's Promise Rings


A new trend now is promise rings for men - but did you know that it stems from an old and fascinating tradition? Before men wore rings to symbolize their romantic commitments, they wore them to signify their devotion to various institutions, among them professional guilds, religious organizations, and groups such as fraternities or colleges.

The leader of the Roman Catholic Church, the Pope, wears a Papal ring to symbolize his fidelity to God and the Church. According to experts, this tradition stems back thousands of years to the religious institutions of the ancient world, where male spiritual officials wore rings as signs of their faith.

During the 1500s, it was common for friends and lovers to exchange rings as symbols of affection and fidelity. These early rings came in many different styles and settings, and were worn by both men and women.

In the late 20th century, promise rings became popular for, first, women, and then, for men too. Couples have many different reasons for exchanging rings before engagement, including the desire to promise pre-marital abstinence to one another, celebrate a new co-habitation, or mark the seriousness of the relationship.

Couples who are looking for a promise ring for the male partner will find they have a lot of flexibility with style, color, and stone choices. Rings with personal messages engraved on the outside or inside of the band are popular, and the ring can be worn on either the left or right hand and on the finger of the wearer's choice.

"Anam Cara" is a saying in Gaelic, the language of Ireland, which means "soul friend". This saying has become a popular engraving on men's promise rings in the last few years, especially on rings that are inspired by the jewelry of the ancient Celts.

Matching his-and-hers promise rings is another popular trend right now. Couples who are looking to signify their connection to one another through their rings often opt for matching pieces. Frequently, the woman's ring will be of lighter weight and more delicate design than the man's, but a similar stone, engraved saying, or colour will link the two rings in look and feel.

Titanium Promise Rings - Showing Your Commitment


Promise rings are given for a number of reasons these day. They are often exchanged between a man and woman as a symbol of their intent to marry. They are also exchanged by life partners as a symbol of commitment and a shared destiny. Whatever the reason, it is important to buy a a promise ring that is not only stylish but also long-lasting. One option is a titanium band.

Titanium has several advantages over gold, silver or platinum band. First of all, most titanium rings are much less expensive than gold, silver. This fact makes it a very appealing material for promise band. Second, titanium rings, unlike gold or silver rings, is hypoallergenic, which means it will not react with human skin. This is especially important for those who have had allergic reactions to jewelry in the past. Finally, titanium is very durable and, if crafted properly, will last many generations to come.

Many people choose titanium promise rings because of the design options available. Titanium, because of its strength and durability, will not torque or bend like gold or silver, so it is an ideal material in which to inlay various materials. For example a ring made of titanium can have gold, silver, gemstone, wood, metallic and mineral inlays, which allows for an infinite number of designs. Many people will choose a non-traditional design for their promise ring.

The final aspect of titanium that makes it a great material s the ability to engrave it. Many people who buy promise rings do so because they want to convey a message, so they will choose a to have a sentimental phrase or a date inscribed. This, of course, makes the it more special and unique to the wearer.

Promise Rings and Why We Should All Be Giving Them


If you're not quite ready for marriage, yet would still like to show your partner that you are committed. A perfect compromise would be to present them with a promise ring. Promise rings are the middle ground between an official and long term commitment and a public announcement or promise that you only have eyes for each other. Hopefully this "one other" is the proud recipient of your promise ring.

Promise rings are very popular in high schools for young couples just beginning to enjoy the first feelings of love and romance. A promise ring need not be expensive, more importantly it is about what it represents. It's a public show of your affection, it shows your desire and intention. In fact, one could argue that it could be one of the most romantic gestures you could make. Is this an overstatement? No, I don't think so, read on.

When was the last time you bought your partner a gift or a trinket that simply said to them that you loved them? Let's take Valentine's day out of the question, this is the time of year we're expected to give our partners a gift or a card. In fact it can be argued that Valentine's day has become so commercial that all of the real romance has been lost. If we also remove birthday's and Christmas, it actually becomes very rare for any of us to make a gesture of love or commitment, unless we really have to.

You see, if we're honest a lot of us will agree that the best part of love or a new relationship is always the first rush of excitement. The first glance, the first time holding hands and the inevitable first kiss. When we look closer, for a lot of us, we experienced these feelings during high school. For those of us lucky enough to remember our first promise ring, it somehow brings back all of those lost feelings.

So my recommendation to everyone is to give your loved one a promise ring. Do not wait until a special day before doing so, do it long before or long after Valentine's day. Live for the moment and for the romance. Even if you're already married or engaged. Promise rings can mean so more these days than just a token gesture of your love. They enlighten lost memories, allow us to relive a time when romance was exactly that, a time before bills and mortgages, a time when we showed our love just because we wanted to.

In a way, the fact that promise rings are so inexpensive adds to the romantic gesture. In a way, it is easy to mistake love and romance based on the value of a ring. However, it's more than likely that an unsolicited gift, one that can evoke memories of a happy childhood will have a much more desirable impact.

In summary, promise rings are now back in vogue but only for the very true romantics amongst you.

A Promise Ring? Are You Ready?


Its a special time in your life when you realize that the person you're dating, is the one you want to be with for the rest of your life. Its easy to pinpoint this feeling because parts of your life don't seem to matter as much anymore, and you begin to realize that you want to settle down. There is no better way of showing the person you're dating, or the person you love, than to give them a gift that shows the level of commitment that you're ready to put forth.

When it comes time, you want the ring you pick out to very special and you do not necessarily want to head over the nearest jewelry store and pick out the very same exact design that your best friends fiance has. When it comes to things like this, woman are very fickle and where you buy your ring can have very serious implications. I purchased my girlfriend a ring made by David Yurman, and I was ecstatic with the response it gave me from my spouse. She was not only shocked with the my sense of fashion, but I believe her friends were shocked as well, which was surprising because I didn't realize that so many people know who "David Yurman" was.

David Yurman is an industry leader in fashion/design. My girlfriend was not only enthusiastic about my selection, she felt it was really special that I went out of my way to find her the most unique gift possible. I am sharing this amazing experience with you because after having such an amazing response for my girlfriend, I am personally recommending this gift for anybody who is serious about the woman their dating, and wants to find them the best, most unique gift possible!

Diamond Promise Rings Are a Reminder of Your Devotion


It's been quite some time since you two first got together, and now you want to take the next step. Not marriage or getting engaged, just a semi-formal promise to be together forever. If your favorite girl and you are dedicated in your relationship and planning a future, you may be considering giving a diamond promise ring as a token of your love and dedication to her and your relationship. If your not ready to get her that princess cut engagement ring, a diamond promise ring is the next choice. It tells her that you are dedicated and committed to your love and that you are planning a future with her.

When choosing a promise ring, remember to keep in mind the jewerly she currently wears. Is she a yellow or white gold kind of girl? Should you buy a solitare setting, or the common heart ring theme. Does she have a favorite gemstone, or is she more of an all diamonds kind of girl? You can expect to pay around $80 to $250 for the right ring.

After you've chosen which yellow gold or white gold diamond promise ring you want to present her, now you have to choose a unique way to present it to her.  Which ever way you choose, just remember that a white gold diamond promise ring isn't an engagement ring, so tone down the big speeches and skywriting for in the future.

For diamond promise rings, presenting in more quiet , secluded environments may prove more memorable.  During candlelight dinner, right away in the morning after making breakfast for to eat in the bedroom, or  after a day and a picnic at the river together.
