What exactly is a promise ring?

When an agreement or oath has been made between two people, a promise ring is a piece of jewelry given as a token of the commitment that was made.

For example:

• Monogamy: A promise to stay faithful to one another.
• Chastity or Purity: A promise to keep ones virginity until marriage.
• Friendship: A promise to seal a pledge of eternal friendship.
• Substance or Sobriety: A promise to remain free from addictive behavior (alcohol, drugs, food, gambling, etc.).
• Religious or Christian: A promise to remain committed to one’s faith or belief in the God of their understanding.

These are just a few of the more popular reasons to give or wear a promise ring.

Pre-Engagement

That being said, the most popular reason to give a promise ring is for pre-engagement.

Are you confused yet? Pre-engagement is actually not as bad as it sounds.

How does one wear a promise ring – which finger, which hand?

For example, an Irish Claddagh ring can have several meanings depending on the way it is:

• Worn on the left hand, the wearer has made a promise of love and fidelity.
• Worn on the right hand with the heart facing outward, the wearer’s heart is free.
• Worn on the right hand with the heart turned inward, the Wearer’s heart is taken.

Where did the promise ring originate?

Rings themselves have been symbolic for many thousands of years.

Some special phrases include:

• A Ma Vie De Coer Entier – My whole heart for my whole life
• A Vila Mon Coer, Gardi Li Mo – Here is my heart, guard it well
• Amor Meus – My Love
• Autre Ne Veuil – No one, but you
• De M’Amoure Soiez Sure – Of my love be sure

Ok, so maybe French isn’t your thing – how about one of these:

• In Gaelic – Anam Cara – Soul Friend
• In English – I Am My Beloved’s & My Beloved Is Mine
• In Latin – Semper Amenus – Our love is forever
• In German – Mine Genyst – My heart
• In Hebrew – Mazel Tov – Marital good luck ring
• Christian – With This Ring, I Thee Wed
• In Italian – Mani In Fede – Hands Together in Faith
• In Spanish – No Tengo Mas Que Darte – I have nothing more to give you but my heart
