Jewelry Appraisal CenterWhat You Need To Know About Wedding and Promise Rings:
Promise rings are often seen as a separate gift from the wedding ring, although they certainly can be an important part of the romance of the occasion.
Like wedding rings, promise rings are designs to show your love and your desire to be in a committed relationship with the other person.
Wedding rings and promise rings can come in a variety of styles, types and designs.
All types of precious metals such as yellow gold, white gold, silver, titanium and even platinum and palladium can be used in designing promise rings and wedding sets.
The earliest use of the promise ring can be traced back the first part of the early sixteenth century.
Men that couldn't afford wedding rings or didn't have enough in a dowry to satisfy the bride's family could present her with a promise ring to show his intentions until the appropriate level of funds were available.

In some cultures and areas, promise rings, like wedding rings or engagement rings, can be given by either the woman or the man.
It is not uncommon in many areas for a woman and man to have matching promise rings.
Promise rings are worn on the same hand as wedding rings and also on the exact same finger. For some couples the option for a smaller promise, engagement and wedding rings can make a beautiful collection of stackable rings.
These could then be worn as a complete set or in any combination.
Since the rings can be mixed and matched between the wedding rings, engagement ring and the promise ring, there are lots of possible options.
Adding an anniversary or eternity ring later on can add even more combinations.
The promise and wedding rings don't have to be a perfect match. They can simply use the same types of designs or patterns which will allow them to compliment each other.
Romantic shapes such as hearts are very popular with these pre-engagement rings.
For every elaborate promise rings, diamonds that match the wedding rings may be a good option. Of course this isn't necessary, but three stone rings as well as simple bands do work very well with most wedding rings and sets.
