Just like wedding bands, engagement rings started as something that was only worn by women. Only after decades � or even centuries � of their existence did they start being worn by men. But among today's young couples, another trend is starting to take hold - promise rings for men.
After receiving her engagement ring, a woman naturally wants to reciprocate and give her husband-to-be a token of her love. Selecting promise rings for men is something ladies thoroughly enjoy, but I always advise them to find out first how comfortable he is with wearing rings. Most men are pretty receptive to the idea and enjoy receiving a personalized gift. Remember, this ring may be worn on the right ring finger as well as the left.
In case you've never heard of promise rings for men, there is no hard and fast rule about what they should look like or when they should be worn. A couple doesn't need to be engaged for a man to wear one. Sometimes promise rings are exchanged when there is a long-distance serious relationship, or as a pre-engagement gift. They can also be exchanged as purity rings when a couple wants to remain abstinent until marriage. Some women take the "promise" part more literally and purchase engraved rings that spell out a word, such as "Forever" or "Forever Love" but other messages can be written on the inside of the band.
