The whole promise-ring thing doesn’t seem big in the Northeast, at least among my friends, but when I started checking out promise rings yesterday—after I spotted Robert Pattinson’s girlfriend, FKA Twigs, wearing her alleged promise ring—I found tons and tons, so they must be big somewhere.
For the most part, the options I saw just SO weren’t my style, with lots of curlicues, super-dainty diamonds, and his-and-her birthstones. But I did find one that I adore:

The Promise 18 from De Beers, $2,500.
I know this is probably majorly expensive for most of the promise ring set. (A majority of the promise rings I saw were below the $1,000 mark.) But it’s so chic, I think it would totally work as an engagement ring. I adore how the masculine/feminine bands are sort of intertwined, and how the diamond is precisely the width of the two bands. I’m also really digging the yellow gold. A++.
Did any of your friends get promise rings? Did you? Thoughts on this sparkler?
Since there are sort of two bands, I’d love to have it for travel (so I could leave my actual rings at home) as a wedding-set stand-in.
