A Ring to Remember and a Make a
I knot my handkerchief or, more accurately, my finger!
Have you ever wanted to remember something and were determined to do so? We have all tried "guiding" our memory to remember something important we'd rather not forget.
To do this, we employ tricks. The most common method is to tie knots on things that we always keep close to our eyes.
This is an ancient tradition to keep the promise or commitment we made to someone else or us.
There is also the custom of attaching a red thread to the hand's finger that evokes a long-standing Chinese legend, and then spread to Japan The idea is that each of us has an imaginary red thread that is tied to our left hand from birth, which binds us inextricably to our soul partner.
This is also where the practice of tying a tiny red string around your finger originates, linking the action to the thought... of understanding the meaning of commitment, or revenge?
Who hasn't heard: "I'll tie it on my finger!" as a way to express the desire to never forget the hurts that have been done to you? The promise ring is an ideal gift for lovers.
A promise ring that conveys important things
The distance between the knot and the ring is incredibly small.
Tradition is filled with humorous and sentimental stories about the promise ring. It could be a symbol of fidelity, commitment, monogamy, or chastity. However, it could also be a tangible representation of love between two people as well as of maternal love towards the child, or of affection for a parent.
There are people who make a vow to themselves that they will remain clean and frugal and reaffirm it with a ring to wear every day.
It can be a small incentive to meet the goal or a remembrance of a significant occasion. In most cases, however the most common meaning remains that of the promise of love and fidelity between two lovers.
In the past, it was believed that the vein connecting to the heart ran along the ring finger, the vena Amoris. So, just like the engagement ring the "promise rings", which reminds of love and bonds every day, is typically worn on the left ring finger. There are several ways to wear the ring. It can be placed on the index finger as the promise ring, placed on the little finger or even strung through a favourite necklace.
"PROMISES are only appointments that You should not miss."
The newest fashion trends suggest that you sign the vows made with rings that have the writings and phrases of symbolic and profound meaning, engraved on the outside or inside of the promise ring.
Personalizing the message can be a challenge in imagination and creativity and commitment... it's a way to make our gift unique and personal.
