In most cases, it's given to a romantic partner to signify a commitment to a monogamous relationship, sometimes as a precursor to an engagement ring. Students sometimes use class rings as promise rings, although this may be less common than in the past.[citation needed] A friend may also bestow a promise ring to another friend to signify their loyalty and/or resolve to remain friends forever.[citation needed] In other cases, a promise ring may just be purchased for oneself as a reminder of a personal promise. Promise rings can be worn on any finger, but those symbolizing pre-engagement are generally worn on the left ring finger; sometimes, the left middle finger or right ring finger is used instead to prevent confusion with an actual engagement ring. the rest is here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promise_ring -- Posted by Daddysgurl01 at 1:56 pm on Jan. 8, 2009 You promise u won't have sex before marrige -- Posted by Sector Corrupt at 1:57 pm on Jan. 8, 2009 I love how everyone seems to think it's a purity ring.
