These promise rings are basically saying &#8220;<strong>I promise to be united and committed to you.<\/strong>&#8221; Whether it be in lust, love or just a very strong friendship.<\/p>\n<p><h2>It&#8217;s a bond.<\/h2>\n<p>\nNormally the ring holds <strong>a diamond solitaire<\/strong> (see picture), a small single diamond on a gold band. It&#8217;s a <strong>mini-me engagement ring<\/strong>. A small token of love. Now it may be just crazy infatuation, but that diamond is a serious connection between 2 people. That&#8217;s <strong>as real as any engagement ring<\/strong> is.<\/p>\n<p><h2>But&#8230; is that a diamond?<\/h2>\n<p>\nHere&#8217;s the catch&#8230; Most promise rings hold <strong>only a very tiny diamond<\/strong>. Normally just a couple of points, <strong>.03-.10<\/strong>. But after all, it&#8217;s not the size that matters here, <strong>it&#8217;s the meaning<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Just the fact that it&#8217;s a real diamond is enough.<\/strong> It really doesn&#8217;t matter if you need a magnifying glass or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2kwSI5G\">10x jeweler&#8217;s loupe<\/a> to see it.<\/p>\n<p><h2>So what about prices?<\/h2>\n<p>\nPrices for these types of rings can vary greatly. I would suggest spending <strong>no more than $150-$400.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nIt just depends on the size of the diamond, the quality of that stone, and the thickness of the band.<\/p>\n<p>\nKeep in mind, a diamond that small is hard to see. Which means, it&#8217;ll be even harder to tell the difference between <strong>high quality and low quality<\/strong>. Tiny flaws are going to be pretty much <strong>invisible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\nEven with a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Edr9HQ\">microscope<\/a> it&#8217;s still hard to see any <strong>inclusions or imperfections<\/strong> in stones that small.<\/p>\n<p><h2>So quality is normally NOT an issue!<\/h2>\n<p>\nJust get something that looks beautiful and you&#8217;ll be fine (For an engagement ring, <strong>quality is a whole other story<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>\nAll in all, <strong>don&#8217;t spend an arm and a leg<\/strong>. Just get something nice and cute. It&#8217;s the perfect way to strengthen a relationship (and test the waters at the same time). <strong>Now that&#8217;s a promise you can keep.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nCheck out the <strong>great deals<\/strong> on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2ypBYqr\">diamond promise rings HERE!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Cheers! :)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>What exactly is a promise ring?
