Promise rings are often seen as a separate gift from the wedding rings, 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.

Unlike engagement rings and the very traditional wedding rings, promise rings can be given by the couple to each other, not just by the man to the woman. Matching promise rings between a couple are becoming very popular in many areas.

Since a promise ring, like the wedding rings, is worn on the ring finger of the left hand, they are ideal to match with the wedding set. This grouping of rings provides opportunities to make your wedding set into stackable rings, a highly in fashion way to wear your rings.

When the promise ring is carefully selected to match with the eventual engagement ring and wedding rings, the combinations to wear the complete set are numerous. The promise ring can be worn with the engagement ring or even the wedding band, especially with some of the matching styles.

Selecting a design or pattern for the promise ring that will compliment or coordinate with the wedding rings will be important to wear them all together. Many promise rings feature traditional symbols of love such as hearts and intricate types of patterns that can be matched with the wedding set.

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.
