Promise Rings
Before the I do, there's the I promise.
What is a promise ring
A promise ring is a symbol of an emotional commitment before marriage. It doesn't replace the formal engagement ring, but it marks an important moment in the relationship: the conscious decision to keep building together. A tradition popularized in the United States and Europe, today it's one of the most requested romantic gifts among young Mexican couples.
It's also used between best friends, sisters, or between mother and daughter as a symbol of loyalty and an eternal bond. The promise isn't necessarily about marriage: it can be of fidelity, of waiting (long-distance couples), of friendship or of mutual care.
The difference between promise, engagement and marriage
- Promise ring: the first symbolic step, generally sterling silver (925) or 10k gold, small stone or no stone. Range $399-$2,500 MXN.
- Engagement ring: a formal marriage proposal, with a center stone as the protagonist (moissanite or diamond), mostly 14k gold. Range $3,000-$25,000 MXN.
- Wedding ring (wedding band): a plain band or one with details, exchanged during the ceremony, worn by both members of the couple.
Popular promise ring styles
- Heart: the universal classic of romantic love, in plain versions, with zircon or engraved.
- Infinity (the sideways figure 8 symbol): a promise of endless love, popular among young couples.
- Double intertwined heart: two lives joining together, ideal as a matching set (one for each).
- Band with an engraved phrase: Always, For you, initials, dates or geographic coordinates.
- Claddagh: an Irish design with a heart, crown and hands. A Celtic tradition of love, loyalty and friendship.

Frequently asked questions
On which finger do you wear a promise ring?
Traditionally it's worn on the ring finger of the right hand (in Mexico) or left hand (in English-speaking countries), to distinguish it from the engagement ring. It's also fine to wear it on the middle finger or as a hanging necklace.
What's the difference between a promise ring and an engagement ring?
The promise ring is an earlier, symbolic step, with no legal formality or large stone, from $399 MXN. The engagement ring is the formal marriage proposal, generally with a center stone as the protagonist in 14k gold, from $3,000 MXN.
Can I give a promise ring to my best friend?
Of course. The promise isn't exclusively romantic: many friends, sisters and even mothers and daughters give each other promise rings as a symbol of eternal loyalty. The double heart or infinity models are the favorites.
Can I engrave a phrase or date on my promise ring?
Yes. We offer free laser engraving on plain bands and select models. Maximum 20 characters, including initials, dates, short phrases or coordinates. Indicate the text in the order notes.
