Description
Promise rings date back to the 16th century. They were also known as friendship rings and illustrations show these rings as early as 1576 AD. In those days, when a man could not afford to get married, he would often buy a promise ring as a placeholder until such time he would be able to effectuate a marriage. During the 20th century, in some instances women would offer men's promise rings to their man because, at the time, he was unable to commission to be wed. It was generally a surprise offering and was something the man could accept or deny. Tradition generally holds that these rings were given by younger couples. This was usually the case because it was normal for the young couple not to have a wealth position that would allow for marriage and children. Nowadays anyone can give a promise ring, regardless of wealth or social status.

wow this is beautiful!
what's remarkable about your ring is its great complexity & variety of shapes, textures & lights. It's a whole universe, with some surfaces smooth, some textured, some in various warps, etc. and some in shadow. And you've played light off of them in many ways. Your pink tone throughout is a kind of tenderness, a bond-of-preciousness, and you've touched it with a deep green both in the leaves and the lace sleeve, a delicate touch. It's a beautiful image & tribute, with a ring that could grow forever and still remain a close-circle. A beautiful vision, antoinette.
this is very sharp... love the palette and the softened finish
