Los Angeles, CA – September 2, 2011 – Summertime means longer days and hot romance, but for many Americans these days, that doesn't necessarily mean marriage. The average age of marriage for both men and women in the U.S. continues to increase year after year according to the U.S. Bureau of the Census. Many couples are waiting longer before exchanging marriage vows so that both parties can develop in their personal goals and careers.
The exchange of promise rings has become a prevalent trend because it signifies a vow of commitment without the immediate pressures of engagement and marriage. Claddagh rings are the frontrunners of this promise ring trend because of their historical value and symbolic designs that are distinct from any other styles. FactoryDirectJewelry.com, a leading online Celtic Jewelry manufacturer, is at the forefront of the trend with exclusive online Claddagh Jewelry that falls in line with the trending promise ring tradition.
"Promise rings are becoming more and more popular because they represent a monogamous commitment even if the couple isn't ready for marriage," said a FactoryDirectJewelry.com representative. "Claddagh and Celtic promise rings help convey this message of faith and everlasting love through their emblematic story and timeless design."
The gift of a promise ring enforces a faithful love between two members without pressuring for engagement or marriage, which is a message that many couples want to convey. Promise rings are not gender-specific and both men and women give and receive this token to share their commitment to each other. The meaning of this tradition ranges from a pre-engagement vow to a declaration of monogamy, or even a promise of friendship. Traditionally, a promise ring is worn on the third finger on the left hand because the vein runs directly to the heart, but it can essentially be worn on any finger or even on a chain as a necklace.
The beauty of exchanging promise rings is that there are no rules or formalities attached – it is a pure act of fidelity and love that can be carried out in many fashions. Many couples are committed to each other but are not ready for the weight of engagement or marriage, thus opt for promise rings to represent their true and faithful love.
Celtic knot rings are often seen to be the ultimate expression of love because the knotted design is an infinite loop that represents endless fidelity. The basic style is clean and simple, yet holds significant history and meaning. Claddagh rings are more intricate with the classic heart held between two hands and adorned by a crown.
