First of all, what does a promise ring really mean? The true meaning of a promise ring is commitment. The promise ring is given by one party as a symbol of loyalty, while the other party wears it to show their commitment. The difference between a promise ring and a chastity ring is often confusing. When you talk about abstinence – the ring parents give to their children or themselves – it is called a chastity ring. On the other hand, a promise ring is usually given as a symbol of commitment within the scope of a romantic relationship.

What is the history of promise rings?

Simon G. Jewelry’s Vice President of Marketing and Communication, Brooke Brinkman, stated that the idea of using rings to express love and affection can be traced back hundreds of years, and the tradition of wearing rings to express loyalty and loyalty can be traced back to ancient times. There is evidence to suggest that Roman brides in the 2nd century BC wore engagement rings. The poetic ring engraved with romantic lines can be traced back to 16th century England, and the acronym ring (spelled out as a word using gemstones) was very popular during the Georgian and Victorian eras. For example, ruby, emerald, garnet, amethyst, ruby, and diamond are combined to form “respect”, while diamond, emerald, amethyst, ruby, emerald, garnet, amethyst, ruby, sapphire, and topaz are combined to form “respect”.
Modern commitment rings have only become mainstream again in the past decade or so, largely due to the promotion of celebrity commitment rings.

Understanding the official definition and history of a commitment ring is certainly good, but what does a commitment ring mean for today’s couples? How will it affect your relationship? The specific and personal meaning may vary depending on the couple. “The appeal of a commitment ring largely comes from the multiple meanings it can represent,” said Kimberly Canary, Vice President of Public Relations and Social Media at Kay Jewelers. “Many couples give or wear commitment rings as a sign of future engagement, while others use them as a general symbol of mutual loyalty.”
“You are making a promise to each other,” Brinkman explained, as she received a promise ring from her current husband a year and a half before engagement. Although in Brinkman’s case, this ring was a promise for future engagement, the situation is not always the same. “I often think that commitment rings are similar to the tradition of the mid-20th century, which is to give your high school sweetheart your class ring or badge,” said Elizabeth Woolf Willis, marketing coordinator, research gemologist, and professional jeweler at Simon Jewelry. “Now you are not just ‘dating’ – you also have a physical symbol of your relationship to showcase to the outside world.”

What does a promise ring look like?

 

As far as the type of promise ring is concerned, anything is possible. To be honest, there are no rules or requirements here. Popular promise ring styles and themes include heart-shaped, infinite symbols or interwoven designs (representing a couple’s union), clada rings and eternal rings, as well as precious metal rings with birthstones, mosaics, or gemstone composites. It can also be a simple ring made of pure silver or gold with information engraved on it. Diamond commitment rings are also very popular, although they often have smaller carats and are set in clusters or rows, rather than classic single diamond engagement rings.

How does a promise ring work?

There are no formal rules to follow regarding who will give the promise ring when. The promise ring can be gifted by either party in a relationship. Due to the fact that both parties usually wear commitment rings as a symbol of commitment, couples can even exchange commitment rings. Basically, anyone in a romantic relationship can purchase or wear a commitment ring.

Five Trends about Custom Jewelry Industry

Custom jewelry is one of the most important service methods in the jewelry industry, and the uniqueness of jewelry characteristics and styles determines their rigid demand for customization.

Custom jewelry is usually hidden behind the scenes in traditional channels and less directly presented on the sales end. The main way for jewelry and gemstone merchants to accept orders is through their own sales channels, and they have not yet formed large-scale brands or professional customization stores.

The development of the jewelry industry, like other design and manufacturing industries, will inevitably achieve an integrated pattern of design, sales, and production through resource integration.

Modern consumption concepts are showing a trend of diversification and personalization, with shortened product lifecycles and accelerated iteration of new products, which has impacted the models of product distribution and mass production bargaining. With the continuous innovation of customization technology and business models, custom jewelry is expected to become the mainstream business in the jewelry market.

The carrier of a brand is this platform.
Production supply chain informatization

In addition, each production node will collect standard image information and share it with relevant management personnel and customers to form visual management and monitoring.

Can Silver and K Gold Jewelry Touch Water?

The hot weather in summer makes many people like to go to places such as the beach and swimming pools where they can play with water to cool off. But in addition to playing in the water, many people, whether male or female, like to wear watches, jewelry, rings and other items. For many watch brands, in order to facilitate summer outdoor activities, they have anti splash or diving designs. However, for jewelry, especially simple and easy to wear rings, is it a good choice to wear them in the swimming pool or underwater world?
Many people like to wear accessories to swim or play in the water, but is this really good for silver and k gold jewelry metals or gemstones?

1. Can diamond rings or gemstones touch water

We all know that diamonds are the hardest stones on the Mohs hardness scale, but even the hardest things can be damaged if not properly protected. For example, repeatedly exposing diamonds to swimming pools containing irritating chemicals or coming into contact with cleaning agents is a very unwise approach. Chlorine in the pool can have varying degrees of negative effects on diamonds or other gemstones on the ring, such as discoloration.

If your ring is composed of different gemstones, it is also important to note that natural gemstones such as pearls, lapis lazuli, and turquoise can lose their moisture and dry up and fade after prolonged exposure to water. Therefore, no matter what gemstones are on the ring, remove them before swimming or touching water, after all, keeping them in their original state is the most important thing.

2. Touching water can affect the inlay tightness

Precious metals embedded with gemstones can also be affected by pool water. For example, when chlorine interacts with metals, it can loosen the inlay of diamonds or other gemstones. As a result, the diamonds or gemstones protected inside can be easily damaged, and in severe cases, they may even fall off.

3. Can pure silver touch water

Silver jewelry is increasingly favored by people. Generally speaking, silver has stable chemical properties, low activity, and is not easily corroded by chemicals, so it can come into contact with water. But be careful not to touch chemicals with strong acidity or alkalinity, and it is recommended to use a silver cloth to wipe and clean every time you wear it, whether or not it comes into contact with water.

4. Can gold or platinum touch water

Let’s take a look at gold, K-gold, or platinum rings. Although some people are certain that the water in the swimming pool will never affect gold, especially high-purity gold rings. Wearing gold rings and washing hands will not cause any changes to the gold rings. However, if worn for a long time, chemicals in the swimming pool will still cause them to change color. Moreover, most people nowadays do not wear pure gold but K-gold, which belongs to alloy rings. Therefore, it is even more important to be aware that there is a risk of cracking or turning black after contact with irritating chemicals.

Alloy jewelry should pay attention to the risk of cracking or turning black after contact with irritating chemicals.

5. Seawater is also very dangerous

Besides swimming pool water, saltwater pools are not very good for rings either. Contact with salt water can corrode the welding part of the ring, for example, the copper content in rose gold is very high, and contact with salt water will accelerate the corrosion degree of rose gold. For diamonds or other gemstones, salt water can cause damage to the stone surface, making it impossible to reflect light, and this damage is permanent. Therefore, it is important to avoid contact between the ring and high salt water.

6. Pay attention to items such as sunscreen

We have been talking about the impact of water on the ring, but don’t forget that mosquito prevention spray, lotion and sunscreen will also pose a threat to your ring. Don’t be fooled by how sunscreen protects your skin, but it doesn’t protect the ring at all. When the ring is coated with sunscreen, it’s like adding a thin film to prevent gemstones or precious metals from shining as usual.
