So, what do promise rings mean? If you are planning to get engaged in the next couple of years a promise ring is the perfect precursor to the main event, it works as a beautiful token of your devotion to your partner and your relationship together. They may also be used as a ‘decoy’ ring; a gorgeous ring for a proposal when the person popping the question doesn’t want to make the big purchase without the lucky recipient’s input. Propose with one of our stunning promise ring or dress ring then shop together for an engagement ring with the assistance of one of our diamond experts, either online or in-store.

Given their traditional use as a precursor to an engagement, a promise ring usually comes in at a fraction of the cost. Always work within your own budget, we’d suggest planning to spend anywhere between £200 to £500 for something that will provide the wow factor, but feel free to spend as little or as much as your heart desires. We have a wide range of beautiful promise rings that start from as little as £55. Once you and your partner then decide to buy an engagement ring, you can choose to spend a little bit more on something that complements your ring beautifully.

A promise ring is traditionally worn on the ring finger of the left hand, as this is the finger that usually demonstrates one’s relationship status. Following an engagement, it can be switched to the ring finger of the right hand.
Here at Fraser Hart, we are always champions of individuality, so we feel a promise ring looks best wherever the wearer feels most comfortable wearing it and wherever it fits in with the style of any other rings being worn. They can often be perfect as part of a delicate ring stack and can also be perfectly complemented with a piece from our beautiful stunning necklaces and bracelets collections.
