So, first things first — 

What Is a Promise Ring?

Promise rings in India are like an understanding between two people, a symbol of exclusivity and a step towards a more serious relationship. It's a way of saying, "Hey, I'm not just dating you; I'm choosing you." While it's not quite an engagement ring, it's a clear sign that you're in it for the long haul. And the perfect time to give a promise ring? Well, there's no one-size-fits-all answer. It really depends on your relationship and when it feels right to you both. Some couples exchange promise rings after a few months of dating, while others wait a bit longer.

It feels really special to give or receive a’lil token of commitment and wear it on the ring finger, but hey, you can wear them wherever you like. We've seen people proudly flaunting it on their middle finger, index finger, or even their thumb. It's all about personal style and the underlying symbolism.
