Read More »When Do You Give a Promise Ring? Although promise rings aren't synonymous with wedding rings, they shouldn't be treated lightly. "A promise ring should be given after a couple has dated for a significant amount of time—a year or more—to show how serious they are about their relationship," says Kelly McLeskey-Dolata, founder of event planning and design company A Savvy Event in the San Francisco Bay Area. So, it goes without saying that you should only give or wear a promise ring when you're ready for the commitment. Brinkman has noticed the rise in popularity of promise rings echoes a growing trend for couples to happily cohabit and/or marry later in life. While they may not be ready—or even want—to commit to marriage, a promise ring denotes that their commitment extends beyond casually dating or just living together. What Finger Does a Promise Ring Go On? Which finger—or even which hand—you wear your promise ring on is entirely up to you. Promise rings can be worn on any finger, Brinkman says, adding that they're sometimes even worn on a chain around one's neck and these days, pinky promise rings are a popular style trend. The most common way to wear a promise ring is on the ring finger—on the left hand if you're not married, and on the right hand if you are married. The reason they're typically worn on the ring finger of the left hand comes from the ancient superstition (that's unfortunately not anatomically correct) that there's a vein that runs directly from that finger to the heart. What Should a Promise Ring Look Like? In terms of types of promise rings, anything goes. Seriously, there are no rules or requirements here. Popular promise ring styles and themes include hearts, an infinity symbol or intertwined designs to represent a couple's union, Claddagh rings and eternity rings, as well as, precious metal bands with a birthstone, mosaic or composite of stones. It can also be a simple band made from sterling silver or gold with an engraved message. Diamond promise rings are popular, too, although they tend to be a small carat size and set in a cluster or row versus the classic solitaire diamond engagement ring. "Engagement rings have such a sacred nature; promise rings are often viewed as more of a fashion piece," says Brinkman, who cautions against choosing a promise ring style that might compete with an engagement ring—if that's your eventual intention. "They both serve a purpose," Brinkman says. "You want to make sure they don't look exactly the same." How Much Should a Promise Ring Cost? There are no rules or guidelines around how much to spend on promise rings, but it's usually significantly less than an engagement ring. At Simon G. Jewelry, promise rings typically range from $500 to $2,000; at Kay Jewelers, they range from $199 to $599. "Remember, often people purchasing promise rings are younger and don't have the financial means to be spending a lot of money," McLeskey-Dolata says.

How to Give a Promise Ring Another thing there's no hard-and-fast rule for? How to give a promise ring to your loved one. "It doesn't come with the same traditional expectations of an elaborate, planned proposal where the proposer gets down on one knee. Promise rings are most often given as a birthday, Valentine's Day or holiday gift", McLeskey-Dolata says. Even a romantic dinner for two is the perfect place for this meaningful exchange. "In the case of a promise ring, it's more of a conversation about the meaning behind it, and the promise that's being made," Brinkman explains. "Whereas for an engagement, the focus is on the ring and the 'moment.'" What To Do With a Promise Ring if You Get Engaged? If you get an engagement ring, there are several options for what to do with your promise ring. You can wear your promise ring on your right hand, on a different finger, on a chain or keep it as a fashion piece. Alternatively, the wearer can embrace the stacked ring trend and ultimately wear all three rings—a promise ring, diamond engagement ring and wedding band—on your ring finger. What Happens to the Promise Ring if You Break Up? While promise rings are intended to signify a lifelong vow, things happen and relationships change. In this case, even if the pledge is rescinded, promise rings aren't always returned. In short? "It depends on the nature of the breakup," Brinkman says. For many couples, promise rings do precede an engagement. If you're ready to upgrade from a promise to a marriage proposal, check out these romantic proposal ideas.
