1. Metal
You can get the gemstone promise ring made in silver, gold (white, yellow and rose) or platinum. Silver being the least expensive of the lot is a great option if you are on a tight budget. However, if you prefer a metal that’s opulent, the most durable and hypoallergenic, platinum is the best pick. But if gold is totally her style, why not select one from white, yellow and rose gold?
2. Gemstone
Every promise ring dazzles because of the colourful gemstone or a brilliant diamond it carries on its shoulders. Diamonds are forever and by far the most iconic jewel you can choose for a promise ring. However, the coloured gemstones are pretty impressive too. Select sapphire for its regal charm or emerald for its rich green colour or ruby to represent love and passion – the choice is yours! You can also choose GIA-certified gemstones for your ring. However, the price of the ring will change depending on the precious or semi-precious gemstone you pick.
