The history of a promise ring
The history of a promise ring dates back to the ancient Romans. In those times, it was law that couples had to wait a certain amount of time before announcing their plans of getting married, to the actual wedding ceremony. So Roman brides would wear promise rings to show their promise of marriage.
From there, the tradition continued to England in the 16th and 17th centuries. These rings were called posy rings. Couples would give one another rings to symbolize their affection. The inside of these rings were typically engraved with a romantic poem or saying.
After posy rings started to decline in popularity, acrostic rings rose. These rings were popular during the Georgian and Victorian eras. Gemstones decorated the ring to spell out a word. For example, the word regard was symbolized with a ruby, emerald, garnet, amethyst, another emerald, another ruby and a diamond.
Promise rings continue to be popular today. Notable celebrities that have rocked promise rings include; Miley Cyrus, Jordan Sparks and Alec Baldwin.
