tiffislovelyy answered Friday August 8 2008, 3:28 pm: it really just depends on who gave it to them.. a parent can give their children a promise ring, which means they promise to stay a virgin until marriage. and then a boyfriend/girlfriend can give their significant other a promise ring that can either mean to stay true to them, or save their virginity for them. it just depends really.

kittaytoro answered Friday August 8 2008, 1:48 pm: Promise rings can stand for lots of things. Some of the most common things they stand for would be:
-Parents giving their son/daughter a promise ring, representing a promise to do well on something/not lie/etc. The usual thing parents give their children promise rings for are to promise to stay pure until marriage.
-Boyfriends/girlfriends can get them to either promise engagement later in life, to be faithful to one another, or to save their virginity for each other.
-Friends can get promise rings to promise that they'll always stay friends/be good to each other.
Really, they can stand for any promise -- Big or small. They're a really nice way to keep that promise and signify how important it is. (:

I suppose they can also be called promise rings.. but the second definition below is right. [ hotpotato's advice column | Ask hotpotato A Question ]

A father and/or mother can give a promise ring to their daughter to stay pure until marriage. It's a promise from you to them, that you would remain a virgin until marriage in other words.
A boyfriend could give his girlfriend a promise ring and the meaning of it, would be for her to stay faithful and true to him. Meaning, you would be promising him to never cheat on him.
