Promise Rings----Which finger

Promise rings can be worn on any finger, but those symbolizing pre-engagement or chastity are generally worn on the left ring finger.

There are two schools of thought regarding the origin of the 3rd finger being designated the "ring finger."For those logical souls, this finger is the most practical one for wearing a ring.?Protected by fingers on either side, and not as active as the first two fingers and thumb, it is a safe haven for jewelry. A more romantic notion is the ancient belief in a "vena amori," or vein of love, running from the 3rd left finger to the heart.

Promise Ring Wearing Recommendations

Pre-engagement Promise Rings : left or right ring finger. Traditionally, such a ring would be worn on the left hand. However, some wearers feel that there is less likelihood of confusing the ring with an engagement ring if it is worn on the right hand and therefore, left-hand wearing is gaining acceptance.

Promise of Monogamy : left or right ring finger. Also traditionally worn on the left hand, but concerns over confusion with an engagement ring have made it acceptable to wear on the right hand. The left hand is still preferred, however.

Promise of Sexual Abstinence : left ring finger. The intent is to someday replace this promise ring with a wedding ring and the ring should be worn on the same finger as would the wedding band.

Promise of Substance Abstinence : any finger, though left ring finger is preferred.

Promise Between Friends (non-romantic): any finger (including thumbs). In the case of rings exchanged between platonic friends, it is generally best to avoid the left ring finger so that there is no confusion of romantic intentions.
 
I prefer to choose CZ rings as promise rings,rather than other CZ jewelry.

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.

Jewelry Storage Tips


Do you have trouble trying to store  Cubic Zirconia Jewelry without it getting all tangled, clip earrings separated from each other, tipping out your whole jewelry box just to find one particular piece? Well, here are some jewelry storage tips that will keep your pieces safe, in a neat and decorative fashion.

 


Designing and selling jewelry both on a website and from home I need to be able to display my earrings in an organized and professional manner. I hope you can find some inspiration from the jewelry storage ideas below.

 

Store earrings with fish-hook earwires by hanging them around the rim of a wine glass for an instant neat and decorative look.


Drape a long string of pearls across the top of your mirror and hang your earrings in the gaps.


Buy a small storage box from the hardware shop, such as the ones that have little compartments for nails, etc. They have 16 drawers, so you know exactly where everything is.


Store earrings on a long piece of ribbon and tack the ends onto the back of a dresser/wardrobe.


Use a corkboard with pins on it, and hang the earrings and necklaces off the pins. Or if you are feeling crafty, you can decorate the frame of your corkboard - remove the actual cork inside the frame, then paint the frame and add some little decorations like sequins, beads, lace, ribbon, etc. Staple a piece of mesh (tulle fabric or mesh from your hardware store) to the frame to hold lots of earrings.

This idea also works with old picture frames as well. To hold necklaces and bracelets, simply screw in some little hooks (you can get these from hardware shops) around the frame.
