Promise Rings – A Short History The modern conception of the "Promise Ring" is an innovation from the 1990s that essentially symbolizes commitment to a specific individual, usually a girlfriend or boyfriend. However, the idea behind the ring – commitment to a specific individual - dates back to Ancient Greece and quite possibly as far back to biblical times.In biblical times, upon a formal betrothal, which in essence was a marriage contract, a man would give his future bride a ring to basically promise that a marriage was forthcoming. This was the earliest form of the promise ring, although it actually was in effect the earliest type of engagement ring known to mankind.The next group of people to use promise rings were the Greeks; however, their purpose of using a promise ring was not related to marriage or relationships.
