Do Men Wear Promise Rings?
They sure do, and it's a very universal trend. History disagrees with this notion as promise rings were typically given to the female of the relationship, but for the modern couple, the exchange of a promise ring is very much a common act. It's looked at as an advancement in dating, a symbol that shows the world two hearts are joined by something more than just a crush.
What Is A Promise Ring?
The promise ring, like its successors, is a symbol of the connection between two people that represents love in all forms. Unique to every love story, the promise ring is usually given to a person in an exclusive relationship and can be a fleeting gesture or something more substantial. The real meaning and purpose of a promise ring can therefore change at any moment in life and in the cycle of love.
They Call It Puppy Love
The most innocent love of all, puppy love is the first time your heart skips a beat in rhythm to another. The promise ring plays an important role in this cycle of love as a symbol of transition between two people. For the male, wearing a promise ring at the puppy love stage is a tender mark of closeness to another and a great representation of affection and admiration for their partner, or friend. The 8mm stainless steel black plated gents ring is the perfect promise ring to showcase this pure display of attraction, both affordable and simple in design with a brilliant black over stainless-steel finish.

First Love Or Worst Heartbreak?
It is very common for a man to wear a promise ring in recognition of his first love. This stage of the love cycle is a much more mature representation of the connection between two people that can often be portrayed by the wearing of a promise ring. A man who wears a promise ring to signify his first love will often acknowledge the relationship as a defining moment in his life that will become his perfect love story or worst heartbreak. A suitable promise ring for a man experiencing love for the first time is the Grahams Forte Polished Stainless Steel 6mm gents ring with a spinning centre.

Today, relationships tend to remain undefined. Getting married is not the most common way to officiate a relationship. For the non-traditional couple that doesn't want to get married but still wants to symbolise their love, a promise ring is an ideal choice.

Promise Ring Left, Or Promise Ring Right?
A promise ring can be worn on the ring finger of either hand. As a symbol of future commitment, a man's promise ring is most typically worn on the right hand, but it is becoming increasingly more popular for a man to wear his promise ring on the left hand in place of an engagement ring or wedding band. Another acceptable and trending way for a man to wear his promise ring is on a chain around his neck, this keeps the promise close to his heart, and away from his hand. Ultimately the decision will come down to a man's personal preference and that which conforms to his style and place in the cycle of love.
