Selecting Promise Rings For Her - How to Buy a Promise Ring

Selecting promise rings for her is very much like selecting an engagement ring with the exception that this jewelry is used to represent more than romantic love. This is an additional consideration when selecting promise rings for her and may guide you in the selection process. In addition to the type of love or promise that this jewelry is meant to represent, you will also need to determine the style, metal and fit of the promise rings for her as well as whether or not you need to custom design your own promise ring to get the one you really want.  

First of all, let the type of ring that you are looking for be a guide. Eliminate any styles that are obviously inappropriate for what you need. For example, a diamond solitaire may not convey a commitment to purity or chastity as well as a true love waits ring. While birthstone rings serve well as pre engagement promise and friendship rings. Some religious or Christian jewelry, because of the style, serve well as chastity or purity as well as friendship or pre engagement rings.  

Given the many different styles of promise rings available for her, it is important to remember not to allow yourself to feel overwhelmed. There are very reliable methods for determining her style that will make the process much easier. Look at the style of jewelry that she wears. Does she wear modern or vintage inspired jewelry? Does she wear mostly rings or include some bands in her jewelry choices? Are they set with gemstones or diamonds? Would you describe them as overstated or understated? Does she have a favorite gemstone that you could use in promise rings for her? What color does she wear most? You could use the answer to this question to pick a gemstone. Does she like a custom designed ring or bands with messages engraved in them? The answers to all of these questions will help eliminate some styles for promise rings for her.  

Metal may be the most straightforward preference to pinpoint. This is because you are essentially selecting between white, yellow, rose, etc... From there your choice of actual metal may be determined by budget unless you are buying a ring for a woman with very definite standards. Regardless, for this you definitely want to notice what she wears. Selecting promise rings for her from metals that you have seen her wear frequently will very likely produce favorable results.  

In considering fit, you are considering the appearance of the ring on her finger. Just as there are clothing styles that flatter each shape, there are ring styles to flatter every finger size. Wider bands and longer stones are more flattering on longer fingers. Thinner bands and more symmetrical stones tend to flatter shorter fingers by making them look longer. Small stones and petite bands can look lost on large hands. If you are looking for substantial promise rings for her that won't get lost on her finger, you may also consider engraved bands. If a substantial ring set with a stone is needed and your budget doesn't allow a large diamond, moissanite or other gemstones are options. Another option is choosing promise rings for her with lots of melee or pinpoint diamond accents and a modest sized center diamond. The effect is the same but the cost is much lower.  

The type of ring, style, metal and fit are all important in choosing promise rings for her that she will love. If you follow the suggestions above, you should be able to select promise rings for her that will allow you to buy a promise ring with confidence regardless of the type you are looking for.
