Promise rings, purity rings, commitment rings, pre-engagement rings – confused yet because we are! What does a promise ring mean? What finger does a promise ring go on? How do you buy one? So let’s demystify the meaning behind this pre-matrimonial trend.  What is a Promise Ring? The definition is personal to each couple, but generally, they are used as a sign of commitment. Whilst many couples use it a sign of their intention to one day get married, others use it purely to show their devotion to one another. The promise made is unique to each couple but its most essential element is the love and commitment to each other and to the relationship. It shows that the couple, whilst not yet ready for marriage, have moved beyond simply dating. It is also a growing trend between couples who cohabitate but are not married, showing the world that their commitment extends beyond merely paying the bills together.

We all know that March babies are lucky enough to have aquamarine as their birthstone, but you don’t have to share your day with St Paddy to wear this gorgeous gem. After all, who wouldn’t want a gem that brings tropical lagoons and calm waters to mind?! What is Aquamarine? Aquamarine means “water of the sea” and originated in the 17th Century. These stunning stones are part of the beryl family of minerals, which also includes emeralds. Aquamarines come in colours ranging from the palest blue to dark blue-greens. They also tend to have excellent clarity and can be found in quite large sizes, which makes them a perfect centrepiece for both engagement rings and fine jewellery, and whilst we love it in any setting, we think it looks especially outstanding when paired with rose or white gold.
