Exploring the Meaning of a Promise Ring

 What is the difference between a promise ring and an engagement ring? Is a promise ring just a fashionable trend or does it mean something? A promise ring is used as a sign of commitment and love for one another. For some it is a precursor to marriage for others it is just a matter of keeping up with the latest trend. A promise ring does not mean commitment for marriage or cohabitation in the future but more a symbol that we are more than just dating and commitment to an extent. Some people opt for a promise ring because it is fashionable and can be worn based on each couple’s belief system.

In comparison, an engagement ring is a traditional and formal symbol of asking for someone’s hand in a marriage where one can accept or decline the proposal. An engagement ring symbolizes the next steps in a relationship. Many couples will choose an engagement ring because that is the more popular symbol to signify their commitment to marriage.
