Are you ready to make a promise or commitment to someone but not ready to get engaged? Then a promise ring just might be what you are looking for. The ring can be worn on any finger; most often, they are worn on the ring finger of the left hand. Sometimes the promise ring is referred to as a commitment ring or future engagement ring.
Just about any small ring will work.
Some rings that we’ve noticed work best as promise rings are heart-shaped rings, double-heart rings, rings with the infinity symbol, and entwined circles.

Heart-shaped ring with diamonds.
What ring wouldn’t make a good promise ring?
Stay away from any ring with a center stone; you don’t want the ring to be mistaken for an engagement ring. The ring doesn’t carry the same weight as an engagement ring, but it shouldn’t be treated as a whim either.

Infinity rings make the perfect promise ring.
When should you give the promise ring?
Wondering when? You’ve been seeing each other for some length of time, a year or more, but you’re not ready to get engaged yet. You’re sure that they’re the one, but want a little more time; that’s when the promise ring steps in. This ring signifies a commitment to get engaged; you are promising this. Is this something you must do after a year? No, you don’t have to, but it’s a nice step to take, showing that you’re both committed to each other. You by giving the ring and your significant other by accepting it.
