What is a promise ring?

You're probably thinking "what exactly is a promise ring?". Well, it sort of says it in the name really. A promise ring is a ring usually given to a loved one that demonstrates your love for them. Sort of like a symbol of your love towards them. Similar to a locket necklace in the way you give these to a loved one. It's one step before an engagement ring and suits couples who don't want to put a label on their relationship or place any pressure on it. 

Giving someone a lovely promise ring is definitely one of the sincerest forms of gestures. This gesture shows sincerity through the radiance and beauty of promise rings. This piece of jewellery wrapped around your finger will be a constant reminder of your loved one and that commitment you intend to faithfully keep.

A promise ring is usually worn on the left hand ring finger. Promise rings are versatile and can be worn on any ring, but traditionally these are worn on the left hand ring finger. 

What does a promise ring look like?

Promise rings are usually small, classy and simple and don't come with the same price tag as the full on engagement ring. Diamond promise rings are a common gift for a loved one, and are usually below 0.25ct to say "hey I like you but let's not get married yet". Alternatively, a promise ring could have the gemstone of their birth month (e.g July's birthstone is a ruby) to signify longevity and is definitely appropriate to wear with an engagement ring in the future. If your partner is a real connoisseur for fashionable rings, they could stack a promise ring with their existing rings. Careful with this though. It may be best to scout out what type of rings they like before gifting them a promise ring. Finally, if your partner prefers a more simple band ring, a band-style promise ring is totally acceptable. You could even engrave this band ring with your initials or a simple symbol for added uniqueness. 

Our promise rings are one of our most popular ring choices when it comes to gifting. The 1/10 Carat Diamond & 1/4 Carat White Sapphire Ring in Sterling Silver is the absolute pick of the bunch. Simple yet effective, this ring is the perfect gift with it's stunning gemstones.

On the other scale, for a bit of boldness, the Ice Jewellery Sapphire Ring with 0.03ct Diamonds in 9K White Gold is a unique ring that really screams commitment. However, no matter what ring you purchase for your loved one, I'm sure this gesture is the perfect way to declare your love for your special person.

Can I give my boyfriend a promise ring?

Our pick of the bunch promise ring for a man is the THOMAS SABO Men's Ring "Classic" for a simple yet contemporary style that goes with any outfit.
