Traditionally a man gives an engagement ring to the woman during his marriage proposal. This ring is generally more expensive and detailed with a large center stone, usually a diamond.
The wedding rings are bought by the couple for each other. Typically they are simple bands, but some are highly detailed. They are exchanged during the marriage ceremony.
Wedding and engagement rings are worn on the left ring finger. At the wedding, the bride will wear her engagement ring on another finger, or not at all and once the wedding ring is placed on the ring finger she may return the engagement ring to there as well. The wedding ring will always sit closest to the hand, the engagement ring closer to the tip of the finger.
When an agreement or oath has been made between two people, a promise ring is a piece of jewellery given as a token of the commitment that was made.
The promise made between two people can be practically anything. It’s imperative that both parties are clear on the meaning of the pact or pledge. 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.
That being said, the most popular reason to give a promise ring is for pre-engagement.
Pre-engagement is actually not as bad as it sounds. It has always been popular to exchange promise rings, so a couple can showcase their commitment to one another prior to getting engaged. In other words, this ring is symbolic of a promise that there will be an engagement ring forthcoming. Hope this helps!!xx
