- A Promise or a Placeholder? -
-July-2024-

At Philippa Herbert, we believe in celebrating every step of love and commitment. One of the most cherished symbols of these is the promise ring, a piece of jewellery that carries deep significance, representing a pledge of love, fidelity, and future commitment.

What is a Promise Ring?

A promise ring is more than just a beautiful piece of jewellery – it’s a symbol of commitment between two people. While traditionally seen as a precursor to an engagement ring, a promise ring can hold various meanings based on the unique relationship it represents.  They can signify love, friendship or an assurance of future intentions. They have a rich history dating back to ancient times – in the Roman era, lovers exchanged rings to signify their betrothal.  During the 16th and 17th centuries, “posy rings” engraved with romantic verses were popular.  Today, the promise ring has evolved into a modern emblem of personal vows and shared dreams.

Why choose a Promise Ring?

For couples not quite ready for engagement, a promise ring serves as a meaningful way to express their dedication to each other.  It’s a beautiful way to say, “I am committed to you and our future together”.  They can also be used as a placeholder ring until a couple have decided on the style of engagement ring that they both love.  Promise rings can mark significant moments in a relationship, such as anniversaries, birthdays, or other personal achievements
