History of Promise Rings

Do you know which jewelry is best seller in CZ Jewelry?The answer is CZ rings,which are usualy bought as promise rings.Here let me introduce the history of  it to you.
 
While the concept of promise rings may seem like something new and original, mythology and sacred writings tell us otherwise.In fact, rings have been used to seal promises since the beginning of time.In ancient days, Bishops wore rings as a pledge of their spiritual union with the church.And dignitaries in Venice, Italy, once the maritime power of the world, renewed this city's "marriage promise" with the Adriatic Sea by tossing a ring into the turquoise waters on Ascension morning each year.

Although they may not have been called promise rings, it became popular during the 16th and 17th centuries in Europe to exchange rings as a token of ove or friendship.One such ring was the "scribbling ring," which was set with uncut diamond crystals.Lovers used the exposed points of the diamond to etch romantic vows into windowpanes.

Another common type of ring was called a "poesy ring." These rings were engraved bands with various promises or sentiments and given to a lover or dear friend. A typical pledge of love and fidelity might read, "Vous et nul autre" -- old French which translates to "You and no other."

 

 

 

Promise Ring Etiquette
The most important rule in giving a promise ring is to be up-front about the terms of the promise, especially if the ring contains a diamond.There is nothing more heartbreaking than a person reading something into a gift of a ring that is more than intended!A simple note accompanying the ring, to be read prior to opening the gift, can clarify your sentiments.

Promise Rings Meaning

What is a promise ring?

A promise ring is a ring given as an outward and physical expression, or symbol, of a promise made between two people. It can be CZ rings,which are short for Cubic Zirconia Rings.

Traditionally, the promise ring is given for virtually any type of promise made between two people - either romantic or platonic.Popular reasons to give promise rings include:
 

Pre-engagement: If you're sure she's the right one for you, but not quite ready for engagement, the pre-engagement ring expresses commitment to the relationship and a promise for the future together.

Chastity or abstinence: Often called Purity Rings, these rings are generally given by a parent to a child and symbolize a promise by the child to remain sexually pure until marriage.It is a constant reminder that true love can wait for a sexual relationship.Purity rings can also be given to symbolize a child's pledge to remain substance free.

Monogamy: In the absence of marriage or pre-engagement, promise rings can be exchanged as a mutual commitment of unity and monogamy.

Friendship: Good friends have always made pacts, sealing them with the exchange of friendship rings and other small tokens.Whether your friend is moving halfway across the country or lives right next door, you both know you will always be there for each other.
