Quality & Materials
Promise stones come in sterling silver with rhodium plating OR 2.5 microns of 18ct gold-plating, known as Gold Vermeil
All pieces are engraved with 925 for metal authenticity and our "The Promise Co" engraving for quality assurance
Our pieces feature conflict-free simulated diamonds, hand-set stones for a flawless finish
Our Promise stones boast a 2.18 refractive index, MOHS rating of 8.5, perfect for everyday wear with care
To compare: Diamonds have a 2.41 refractive index and MOHS rating of 10, Swarovski Crystals sit at around 1.6 refractive index, MOHS 6-7
We aim to provide diamond-like sparkle at a fraction of the cost, using our exclusive clear or emerald cut patterns for enhanced clarity
(Pronounced Ver-may!)
Gold Vermeil is not to be mixed up with normal gold plating… it is a thick layer of solid 18ct Gold on top of Sterling Silver base, meaning you get the look and feel of solid gold at a fraction of the price!
We use 18ct gold that is a minimum of 2.5 microns thick, as required by the Federal Trade Commission to classify vermeil, layered over sterling silver.
Did you know? Plating as thin as 0.1 microns can still be classed as Gold Plated!? Our plating is 25 times thicker than this (crazy right)
Gold Vermeil is resilient, but for lasting shine:
- Minimise exposure to sweat and water
- Remove before exercising or washing hands
- Avoid perfumes and lotions
- Be gentle when using hand sanitiser
- Clean with a dry cloth
- Store in a dry place when not worn for daily protection
- Do not wear your ring in the pool, harsh chemicals and Chlorine can cause corrosion
925 Sterling Silver is an alloy made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. To make sure your Sterling Silver
On top of a sterling silver base we plate jewellery in rhodium, which makes your ring extra durable and shiny. Rhodium is one of the costliest precious metals due to its rarity
Sterling Silver is perfect for everyday wear, but to ensure your ring lasts as long as possible:
- Remove before exercising, washing hands, or showering
- Polish gently with a silver cloth for tarnished jewellery
- Skip perfumes and lotions while wearing
- Be cautious with hand sanitiser
- Store in a dry place when not worn
- Do not wear your ring in the pool, harsh chemicals and Chlorine can cause corrosion

Promise Ring FAQs
A promise ring is your own wearable story. It’s purpose: a constant reminder of a Promise.
Traditionally, Promise Rings are given between couples to symbolise their love
Today, there really are no rules when it comes to the promise ring. It can be a gift for your lover, your bestie, your mum, sister or yourself.
Promise rings can serve as a powerful reminder of the promises we make to those we care about.
A very popular question... is a Promise Ring just another version of an engagement ring in a relationship.
The short answer, no.
Promise rings can be given for a variety of reasons:
Loyalty in Relationships: A Promise ring is a brilliant way to show your commitment and seriousness in a relationship, a way to show your partner your love and that your Promise to stay together through thick & thin!
A celebration of a milestone: Whether in a relationship or gifting to a loved friend or family member, a birthday, anniversary or milestone event (like graduating!) are great times to buy someone a Promise Ring. It will serve as a little reminder of such a special time and give you the opportunity to make a Promise.
Long Distance: Long distance can be tricky, but having something to look at everyday to "feel" your partners presence can certainly help. A Promise Ring is a way to feel constantly connected to your partner no matter the miles between you.
A promise of future engagement or marriage: you may not be able to get married due to age, finance or geographical location. You may not even want a wedding... but like the idea of that next step in commitment and want something on your ring finger to say to the world you are in a loving relationship! A Promise Ring is your way of showing commitment without the wedding.
Acknowledging a Significant Change: Given during times of significant change, like job transitions, relocations, or other life-altering events... We have seen people buy Promise Rings for their partners as "Push Presents" as a Promise to be a great dad (Super cute)
We like to think of a Promise Ring as your own "Wearable Story", it can be a Promise or a reminder of anything that is meaningful to you!
The promise ring wasn't an "official concept" until the 1970s but the idea started in the ancient times...
Going right back to ancient Rome, the ‘betrothal ring’ was given as a kind of promise ring. In ancient Greece, rings were worn as a way to keep a loved one constantly on their mind (We love that!)
Fast forward to the early 1700s, where the "poesy ring" became popular. It was a ring engraved with a poem or promise to a friend or lover.
But it didn’t get called a promise ring until the 1970s when it was known as the official pre-engagement ring.
Today, The Promise Ring Co. is on a mission to redefine the Promise Ring. Whether that be a Promise to yourself, a loved one, your bestie... your mum... every ring is its very own wearable story.
