The History of Promise Rings


According to Khordipour the idea of promise rings goes back to the Roman era. The Romans were required to wait for a set amount of time before getting married, and they gave their brides "promise rings" to show their dedication during the time.


Then came the more romantic posy ring, which was introduced in the 14th century. It was worn to symbolize the bond of love between lovers. Also spelled "posey" or "poesy," this particular piece was a ring engraved with a short poetic phrase (often written in Latin or French) to symbolize romantic feelings. Acrostic rings were fashionable during the 19th century. They cleverly write out words like "regard" or "dearest". ("Regard" was conveyed using an emerald, garnet, amethyst ruby, diamond, whereas "dearest" consisted of diamond, emerald, amethyst and sapphire. and tourmaline. )1


The trend of giving promise rings in the modern society as a kind of halfway assurance, especially since courtships are getting longer. Khordipour says that promise rings serve to signal a possible marriage, but for now they're merely a means of saying we're still not yet ready. "It offers both parties the assurance that their relationship will keep running."
