What are Promise Rings?
Promise Rings are a symbol of a promise you make to yourself or to
another person. The most important part is the promise.
Whatever your promise, the ring symbolizes your intent to keep it.
Some people promise to be "exclusive" while others promise
abstinence until marriage. Promise Rings can be given as a promise to
stay together despite distance or time. Or they can be a symbol of
a promise to yourself...to make healthy choices, or as a
reminder to consider your own needs when making decisions.
History of
Poesy Rings: Most Poesy Rings originated in Medieval Europe
during the middle ages although some go back as far as 5 BC. Some
people used them as betrothal or promise rings while others gave them as
friendship rings. During this time, the average person could not afford gold.
So Poesy Rings were traditionally given in sterling
silver. Since French,
Latin and
English were the languages of
the Nobility, many Posey Rings had inscriptions in these languages.
Although, some have been excavated from other areas of the globe,
including the Gaelic regions,
Spain,
Russia,
Germany,
Greece,
China, and
Italy.
Christian and
Hebrew Poesy Promise Rings and
