How to Choose a Diamond Promise Ring for Your Girlfriend

Did you know that the history of promise rings date back to nearly 400 years? These rings have been long used to symbolize love or friendship.

As the name suggests, a promise ring symbolizes a promise or a commitment. These rings are universally used to assure love, devotion and commitment in a relationship.

Promise rings are of various types, viz., pre-engagement rings, friendship rings, purity or chastity rings, etc. They can be exchanged between lovers, friends; or even given by parents to children. A person can also wear a ring himself to promise certain things to himself, such as abstaining from addiction, smoking, etc.

You can buy a ring with small diamonds as a promise ring; and save larger diamonds for the engagement ring. These rings are available in a variety of shapes, designs and patterns. They are usually designed in the shape of a heart, as the 'Heart' is the universal symbol of love.

Diamond promise rings range from $150 onwards; and vary according to cut, clarity, and of course, carat. But, if you are looking for inexpensive versions, you can always go for synthetic diamonds. They are cheaper than real diamonds.

This ring can be made in different types. It can be a 14K solid gold ring, metal ring with gemstones, or can be made of white gold with diamonds, or yellow gold with diamonds. If you are looking for an inexpensive option, then you can go for silver rings.
