Is there difference between promis ring and engagment ring?

Question

bolverk · Accepted Answer

A promise ring, sometimes known as a pre-engagement ring, is given in a relationship to signify commitment. Whilst for many young couples a promise ring means a vow of an engagement ring to come, others may simply use it to show their loyalty and devotion to their partner. The meaning of a promise ring can be defined differently by each couple, just like each relationship, the band and its purpose can be completely unique to what you choose.
The origins of silver and gold promise rings can be dated right back to the 16th century, but they did not take on this name until the 1970s. However, the promise ring's meaning has withstood the test of time, signifying love in one form or another.

Yes.
Back in the good old days it was common to give your girlfriend a ring if you were going steady, they were called friendship rings.
A promise ring is a more adult version and more expensive.
It signifies that I love you, and at some point we will probably will get married.
An engagement ring is we are going to be married and I should probably stop sleeping with your best friend now.

Yes big difference! I got both but a promise ring is just a promise not a commitment! Is given before the real ring when something is stopping you two from getting really engaged!

I have always seen promise rings as something teenagers give to each other.

AviatorTom · Answer

Maybe I'm old fashioned. Guy's view... A promise ring is us a ring to remain faithful to her, in a committed relationship. An engagement ring is a commitment to marry her.

I don't think people older than high school age give each other promise rings.

madhatters4 · Answer

promise ring is more a commitment to being in a relationship. in my opinion this means committing to the terms of a relationship whatever they may be an engagement ring is a commitment to get married

SnowedIn · Answer

Absolutely yes.  Engagement rings mean that two people are committed to be married. Promise rings are a commitment to the relationship but don't mean more than that.

Promise rings usually taste better  a girl gave me one in 2nd grade  She cried because I immediately ate it in two bites lol

Lliam · Answer

A promise ring is like "Will you be my girlfriend?" It means you want to go steady, as in exclusive and mutually infatuated.

An engagement ring is a commitment to marry. It's when you set a date and start making wedding plans.

Isn't a promise ring a promise to get her the engagement ring and the engagement ring is promising to marry her?

Billlewis · Answer

An engagement ring is generally nicer and more extravagant.

HippieVeganJewslim · Answer

Probably some Western thing, so I ain’t interested in which. Such a ring can cost so much money, and marriage also does. Why can’t the couple just promise to live together?

Kinkyhubby · Answer

That he promise to marry you one day, it could be when your 90 on your death bed, or that he is just stringing you along because all your friends got engaged.

Engagement rings means he does want to marry you in the near future.

Alex8736 · Answer

TBH A promise ring is something where someone who isn't sure what they want but string a person around. An engagement ring is something where someone is so sure and serious about what they want and can't live without their SO 😇🩵

ProbablyClueless · Answer

There's a huge difference. A promise ring says "I like you and will be loyal to you." An engagement ring is a commitment to take her hand in marriage.
