What is the difference between an engagement ring and a promise ring?

I believe that a promise ring is more for younger people to give as a lot of promises get broken.  An engagement ring is presented when you ask a woman if she will accept your hand in marriage.

It would not be a good idea, I think, to combine the giving of the engagement ring with Christmas giving.  If you have no money left, that will be no problem for your GF, because the joy of receiving the engagement ring will greatly outweigh not receiving a generic Christmas gift.  If you try to combine the two, it will cheapen and make less significant and enjoyable the receipt of the engagement ring.  Just explain to her that you put all you could into the engagement ring.  If she is the kind of girl who deserves your engagement ring, she will understand.  Best wishes.

Neither.\n\nA ring is a material object.\n\nRomance is overrated and a two week vacation...can you and/or he afford the time off of work?  Do you have children?  Do you have a maid?  \n\nI would rather just a have a nice evening out.  Or family time watching a movie or sitting around playing a board game.  In the end, it's quality that counts, not quantity or carats.

Walmart has some very nice promise rings.  It is really the thought that counts not how much you spend on the ring.  And if it does she's not the right girl.

The wedding ring goes on first then the engagement ring as tadition goes. The weddingring has more meaningful significance.

Engagement rings can come in many varieties. There are many styles, including solitaires and three stone rings. Visit a jewelry store and they will explain it all to you very well.  The bridal sets are ok, that way you get the engagement ring and the wedding band all at once. Enhancers are not a good option in my opinion. The gold bands or a band of any metal should be used as the wedding band, and they do not have to be plain metal, you can add diamonds or stones to them to give them an extra sparkle. I really recommend visiting some local jewelry stores and they will explain to you the different styles. Good luck! =)

You can propose at anytime. That doesnt mean you have to get married a week after getting engaged. The marriage could be a year or two after, depending on what you both decide. Juz make sure getting married is what you want before getting married. Or you could simply buy a "promise" ring now and get an engagement ring later on. Good luck.

every player on the winning team gets a ring as well as every player on the losing team. the difference between the winning and losing ring is the winning ring is more expensive and has way more diamonds on it.

I think promise rings are great. They make your relationship special without taking it too far. I had a long term relationship in high school and I had a promise ring, it was my birth stone (ruby) heart shaped with two tiny diamonds next to it. It was perfect.

Give it to her as a Christmas gift! Six months is a perfect time for a promise ring. No do not ask her Dad. That's for when you ask her to marry you.

The wedding ring goes on first and is "protected" by the engagement ring.  The idea behind this is ... keep your marriage closer to your heart, and protect it with the love that brought you together.

Getting married to me means you're ready to make a life long commitment to the one you love, and that your ready to wear the ring that signals you are taken through sickness and in health no matter what and so that other people will know that your taken!.

First of all the price of the jewelry really doesn't matter.  Some guys throw around expensive jewelry just because they can without it really meaning a thing.  Accept what he said for face value.  He likes you and he wanted to show you that by getting you something nice but he isn't ready to take this relationship to the next stage.  A commitment ring is a big step and shouldn't be given or accepted without a great deal of thought and serious consideration to what a commitment is.  Right now he is being honest with you and tell you he isn't ready for that step but that he likes you and that there could be that commitment in the futre.

The left hand ring finger is where the engagement and the wedding ring are worn because it is directly to the heart.\n\nLook, ball your left hand into a fist and try extending your thumb, forefinger, middle finger, ring finger and pinky finger one at a time.  You'll find out that it's only your ring finger that you can't stretch out.  That's because the ring finger symbolizes the heart and if the ring is worn there, it means you'll be connected forever.
