Personalized Promise Rings: Commitment Your Way
The promises made between couples may signify a major step in a relationship, and a ring is a beautiful way to symbolize any special milestone. Every relationship—every couple—is unique. The bond, the love story, and the promise cannot be duplicated. That’s why a promise ring should be a reflection of the couple and the vows that the rings hold within their bands, whether that’s a future engagement, fidelity, friendship, or a vow that only the couple understands. When shopping for a promise ring to solidify your relationship commitment, consider rings designed with personal details that are significant to you and your partner. Here are a few ideas for personalized promise rings that add one-of-a-kind elements for couples seeking rings to showcase their unmatched love for each other.
Birthstone Promise Rings
What better way to show your adoration for your loved one than by recognizing the month of their birth? A birthstone could feature both of your birthstones together on your rings, or each partner could wear the other’s stone. For settings, get creative! You may want a simple, more subtle band that can be eventually worn alongside an engagement and wedding ring, so an eternity gemstone ring may be best. If you love color, use the birthstone as a center stone (like this vintage ruby and diamond ring) or pick a setting with stand-out side stones (like this unique swirl-style ring with six amethyst gemstones). When selecting the band, you should opt for a metal that complement the stones. Yellow gold looks best when paired with warmer hued gems like yellow topaz, rubies and garnets. White gold or platinum helps purple Amethyst, pink Sapphires, blue sapphires and turquoise pop on the hand. Pearls look lovely when set in either metal. Of course, metal choices and colors also are a personal preference, so don’t be afraid to mix and match for a more ‘you’ design.
Engraved Promise Rings
Simple bands are not always what they seem. Couples often engrave personal messages, monograms, each other’s initials, names, or even religious texts on rings for symbolic sentiment. Hide these engravings within the band’s interior, or let the words be visible to the world as an outward display of your love and promise. For couples who wish to add extra elegance, monograms or initials can be encrusted with birthstones or diamonds for color and brilliance!
A Print on Your Heart
Design promise rings with an imprint that is completely unique—your fingerprint! Fingerprints may be placed on matching bands so that they create a heart when the rings are joined as one, or the fingerprints may be embossed on matching bands with each partner displaying the other’s print on their ring. For an extra sparkle, you can add gemstones or dainty diamonds to your fingerprint ring. Wear bands of the same metal or choose different design settings—fingerprint promise rings do not necessarily have to be a perfectly matching pair.
Customized Promise Ring Creations
For couples who want the ultimate one-of-a-kind ring to symbolize their commitment, custom rings hold no boundaries. Design the ring of your dreams with engravings, etched patterns, diamonds, gemstones, or any unique detail you can imagine. You paint the meaning of your love through your ring…and any design is possible. When designing custom rings, sit down together and discuss what design captures your love and your unique bond as a couple. You can create promise matching rings or you may each decide on a completely unique personalized promise ring. Differing designs may also be quite harmonious if you add just one common design element.
Promise rings symbolize a different meaning for every couple, but the rings that are selected to bear the symbolic seal of a relationship’s promise should be as special as the love those rings represent. Couples may add personalized elements to create one-of-a-kind promise rings that showcase their unbreakable promise to each other and the remarkable bonds of the relationship.
