The
promise ring meaning is decades if not centuries old. Some of the traditional
meanings of the promise ring include a commitment to go “steady” with
each other, dating no one else or a step to take before engagement,
usually by those who are too young to actually become officially engaged.
The promise ring meaning is not usually as elaborate or as costly.
They cost much less money than an engagement ring but has a similar
meaning.
Promise Rings Meaning for Young Couples
Teenagers or young adults not quite ready for the full commitment
of engagement and planning a wedding will often give promise
rings as a symbol of their love and their decision to at some point when
they are older to consider marriage to one another.
Many different types of promise rings indicate the importance of
their commitment and are a good way to young couple to express their
love for each other.
The promise ring
does not have to be made of gold and diamonds. It can have other
gems such as a sapphire, emerald or no stone at all. The Irish
often give rings with Claddaghs, where two hands hold one heart.
Other cultures give promise rings with other symbols such as an
iron cross or a message of “I love you” spelled
out in gold letters. No matter the symbol or expression the
promise ring meaning is the same.
Other traditional meanings of the promise ring are an actual commitment
to get married, just not the commitment to set a date at this time.
Promise rings meaning you are engaged, but it also means a much longer
courtship and engagement will ensue before any firm plans are put
into place. It is a good step for couples who fall in love very quickly,
but want to be able to get to know each other better before setting
a wedding date.
For couples financially and emotionally prepared for marriage a
promise ring can be the actually engagement ring, but it is worn
on the opposite hand the engagement and wedding rings would be worn.
Older couples closer to being able to commit to marriage may choose
this for their promise ring meaning.
