When looking for a gift for your significant other, a promise bracelet might be that route to go. A promise bracelet is a piece of jewelry that is given to someone whenever you’re wanting to show the physical embodiment of the commitment between you and your partner. There are many different types of bracelets you can get. There are men’s bracelets designed with men specifically in mind, “his and her” bracelets, and matching bracelets for couples. There are many things that a promise bracelet can represent.
1) A Promise for a Future
Similar to a promise ring, these bracelets can represent what the future holds. It can be given to a significant other as a promise of marriage. Weddings are known to be expensive and engagement rings are just the first step into financial disarray and a lot of time, people aren’t financially ready to make that jump. That’s where a promise bracelet may come in handy. It can be seen as a cheaper alternative to show your commitment and plans for marriage but also says that maybe you need some time to get some things in order first. For some people, marriage is incredibly important and this can be a way to show them that it’s on your mind too.
2) Long Distance Promises
Unfortunately, not everyone lives with, or near, their partner. Long-distance relationships have a multitude of challenges that only people who have been in those relationships know. Something as simple, but meaningful, as a promise bracelet can be one solution to help those missing their significant other. Wearing a bracelet that someone gave you, or even if you picked it out together, can help you feel like you’re carrying a piece of them with you around with you. Nothing will ever be as good as having your person next to you but it might take some of the pain of missing them away.
3) A Promise to Yourself
Typically, promise bracelets are given to one person to another, usually in a romantic way. Even though that may seem like the normal way, there is nothing wrong with making a promise to yourself. The perfect thing about making a promise to yourself is that it can be a reminder for a number of things. Whether it’s a promise to make it through a really hard college program, a promise to get through the day, or a promise to remember to take care of yourself the choice is up to you. Since a bracelet is a very common piece of jewelry it’s easy to keep the meaning personal if you don’t want to share it with those around you. Promises to others are important but promises to yourself hold a new type of weight.
These are just a few meanings that a promise bracelet can hold. The beauty of this piece of jewelry is that the meaning can be anything you want it to be. There are no rules or regulations when it comes to making a promise.
