4 Top Tips for Choosing a Promise Ring:
- Don’t spend too much on it – save your budget for the main event, the real engagement ring.
- Keep the promise ring stone smaller than the engagement ring stone or it’ll feel like a downgrade.
- Think outside the box – costume rings and stackable rings are very wearable afterwards.
- Give it meaning and choose something with a sweet sentiment like a birth stone.
